Nope. Roe v Wade was also leaked.

But, a day and almost a half afterward, they MAY in fact be the only two known such cases.

The other thing is that it is still a MASSIVE breach of the trust of the Court, etc.

Whether it's chargeable as a crime... That could depend on interpretation.

There have been a few leaks in the past; pretty much invariably, they resulted in the decisions' announcements being delayed by a few weeks, but the decisions themselves ended up being unchanged. Considering that this is the sort of decision that is usually announced on the final day of the term, I don't expect there to be any delay past that, although theoretically the court can wait until the new term begins in October.

On the morning of the announcement by one publication, in the days
when information traveled a lot slower. Not nearly the same....
