What accidentally posted document could mean for Supreme Court security
Ryan, can we talk a little bit about what this incident means for the security and secrecy of future Supreme Court cases? I mean, as Laura has been saying, this has been an unprecedented screw up of epic proportions. Yeah. I mean, whoever had that made that click here is not going to be having a great day, right? I mean, I think that there's probably going to be some protocols to be set up. Maybe, you know, there are technological solutions to this, right? I'm just thinking of our own systems. There's in journalism, you do a lot of pre rights. You have stories that are sort of ready to go. You're waiting for something to happen and maybe you don't have all the info that is ready to go, but there, you know, our technical, technical solutions to that where something can stay locked and it's, you know, a double click and it's Are you sure you want to publish this? Just scenarios to make sure that mistakes like this don't sort of happen. But it really is. I mean, when I first started covering the court very early on in the early Obama years and during these DOMA decisions, you know, 11 years ago and what not, it, it was just sort of shocking, I think how far behind they were technologically. And I do think that like the pandemic did sort of kick bring them kicking and dragging and screaming. Into the 21st century on a lot of these things because, you know, there there was just this idea that you would have to physically be in the courtroom and you would have to be handed this out of a box of documents. And then it was just, you know, you had to create all these solutions to sort of work around these systems that really didn't make a lot of sense to begin with. So now I think probably there's going to be a situation where they're like, well, whoops, went a little too far there. How do we make sure that doesn't happen going forward? But it is quite remarkable just, you know, basically that we're getting this preview of what likely, you know, we should say, obviously we don't know for sure 100% whether this was the final document, but highly suggest towards that direction that this was. Because it was in the publications office. Something close to final.
