Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is suggesting that the Supreme Court should use lie detector tests to uncover the source of the leak of a draft opinion in a major abortion cases.
During an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Thursday, Paul said, “Frankly there are times when I think could ask for a lie detector test.”
“This is a very important , and if the Supreme Court holds it, I’d bring in the 12 people and I’d ask them all under oath and with a lie detector test, ‘Did you leak this document?’ Because this shouldn’t happen,” he continued.
Paul added, “And liberal or conservative, we don’t want violence, but we also don’t want somebody working at the Supreme Court who’s a liar and who’s dishonest.”

Paul’s comments refer to the leaked draft of an opinion, obtained by Politico, that appears to show that the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) speculated that “some angry, left-wing law clerk” was behind the leak of the draft.
“The reason it was leaked is some left-wing presumably law clerk wanted to put political pressure on the five justices that presumably are in the majority right now,” he said on Fox News earlier this month.
He added, “They wanted to put heat and they wanted to invoke Politics to try to get them to change their vote. And by the way, if that left-wing law clerk succeeds, it will be the most grotesque politicization of the Supreme Court in the history of our nation.”
