Col. Gail Curley investigating leaked Supreme Court opinion on abortion rights

IT’S MAY 2022 AND A LEAKED SUPREME COURT DRAFT OPINION SHOWS ROE V. WADE WILL BE REVERSED.

POLITICO RUNS THE STORY.

PROTESTS ENSUE NATIONWIDE.

AND ONE WOMAN IS CHARGED WITH FINDING THE SOURCE.

THAT WOMAN IS COLONEL GAIL CURLEY–MARSHAL OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT–AND JUST ONE NAME FOR YOU TO KNOW TODAY.

IN 2021, THE FORMER ARMY LAWYER BECAME THE 11TH MARSHAL AND SECOND WOMAN IN THE ROLE.

A YEAR IN, SHE’S TASKED WITH LEADING THE INVESTIGATION INTO WHO CIRCULATED THE DOCUMENT THAT TIPPED OFF THE PUBLIC TO THE POTENTIAL, LOOMING LOSS OF ABORTION RIGHTS.

NOW, CURLEY HAS CONDUCTED CRIMINAL AND OTHER INVESTIGATIONS THROUGHOUT HER CAREER IN THE U.S. AND GERMANY, BUT THIS INCIDENT IS DIFFERENT.

EXPERTS SAY THERE’S LIKELY NO CRIMINAL CASE HERE, AND THAT HER RESOURCES ARE LIMITED. SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CALL ON THE FBI OR A PRIVATE FIRM FOR ASSISTANCE. HER ABILITY TO ISSUE SUBPOENAS IS UNCERTAIN.

BUT WHEN THERE ISN’T A HYPER-CONTROVERSIAL CASE IN HER HANDS, HER JOB CONSISTS OF KEEPING ORDER IN SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS, MANAGING MORE THAN 250 EMPLOYEES, AND OVERSEEING THE SUPREME COURT POLICE.
