let's go to terry moran at the court. and terry what did you make of what the white house is already signaling tonight? >> reporter: well, david, justice alito says that's not true. he says in his draft opinion that this ruling should only apply to abortion, because the profound issues it raises. but the problem is, the way justice alito overrules roe versus wade that has president biden and many legal scholars alarmed. alito says that unless a right is specified in the constitution or deeply rooted in our nation's history and traditions, it doesn't qualify as a constitutional right. and scholars say there are many things we think of as rights that weren't around when the constitution was written, not in our history. there weren't a lot of gay marriages when the constitution was written, contraceptives were illegal. and they say that alito's argument could cut those rights down, no matter what he says, if someone brings a challenge to them. and they note that the last time the republican party wrote a platform in 2016, it

here to discuss that and much more, abc's senior national correspondent terry moran, caitlin dickerson from the atlantic, sarah isgur and former obama deputy campaign manager stephanie cutter. welcome to all of you this morning. sarah, i want to start with you, where rick klein kind of left off, some of the gop candidates who won tuesday, election deniers like pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate doug mastriano. they're quietly saying this could be a disaster in the general. >> it reminds me a little of todd aiken in 2012, it reminds me that claire mccaskill bragged about $7 million that he would be her opponent on the republican side, she went on to win that election. but it was a heck of a gamble to take with our democracy. similarly here, democrats spent twice as much on tv to help doug mastriano win that primary, they sent out flyers, so for democrats to say that he's a threat to democracy, either they don't believe it or they're willing to play with our democracy just to win the elections. of course republicans voted for him in the end. democrats are playing fast and loose if they

terry moran covers the supreme court for us. and terry joins us now. terry, what does all this mean? >> reporter: well, first, byron, what we don't know, as you mentioned, we don't know if this draft is authentic. abc news has not confirmed it. it looks to be, but we have not confirmed that. we also don't know -- and this is important. where this comes in the process. supreme court justices circulate a lot of drafts. sometimes votes can change. but the bottom line here is this apparent draft of an opinion in the case that could overturn roe versus wade does just that. justice samuel alito in this apparent draft writing for what looks to be a five-vote majority of the supreme court says bluntly, "we hold that roe must be overruled." then he goes on to say roe was egregiously wrong from the start. it is a full-on repudiation and overturning of roe versus wade. once again, we don't know if this is the way the opinion's going to turn out. but this is a stunning breach of supreme court confidentiality, of secrecy, of the traditions of the court, and one cle

. >>> we turn to abc's senior national correspondent terry moran, who's been following this story since it broke late last night. terry, it's worth saying again, the law has not yet changed. this is just a draft opinion. but what happens now? is the final opinion likely to be any different? >> it could be. it could well be, byron. it is rare but it happens that justices can switch votes, even in big cases, even at the 11th hour. and certainly this was a draft opinion from february, meaning it was probably an opening bid by justice alito, a kind of maximal statement of where he thinks the law should go. and in the course of supreme court work, that could be watered down, that could be changed. but at the end of the day, it looks like the writing's on the wall for roe v. wade. anyone who heard the oral arguments in this case back in december knows that those justices, conservative justices, were asking questions not about whether roe v. wade should be overturned, but about how they would do it and what they're doing now is trying to see how they want to do it. >> terry, certainly what we

. >> reporter: abc's terry moran said the president and some legal scholars are raising concerns about key arguments in the draft and possible consequences. >> there weren't gay marriages or inracial mairnlgs, contra ceptives. they could cut it down. wednesday, justice samuel alito, the author of that draft opinion, cancelling a judicial appearance, giving no reason as to why. >> thank you. >>> turning to the economy. getting a loan for a house or car is about to get more expensive. the federal reserve has announce ad half point interest rate increase and more hikes are expected this summer to control inflation. >> inflation is. too high. we understand the hardship it is bringing. we have both the tools we need and the resolve it will take to restore price stability on behalf of american families and businesses. >> on wall street, the dow rose 900 points because the fed chairman said more aggressive hikes are not being considered. meanwhile, president biden said another way he hopes to ease inflation is by lowering the federal debt this year. >>> the faa said it will add more flights i

we have team coverage of this story and our senior national correspondent terry moran starts us off there at the supreme court. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this is a shocking leak out of the supreme court, a breach of traditions of confidentiality and secrecy and trust and if this draft opinion is authentic, and while abc news hasn't independently confirmed it, it does look like the real thing. it means that the conservative justices here are poised to overturn roe v. wade and 50 years of constitutional law and profoundly transforming the lives of women in the united states. overnight tensions flared outside the nation's highest court after an unprecedented leak. [ crowd chanting ] >> hey, hey, ho, ho. roe v. wade has got to go. >> reporter: an apparent draft of opinion obtained by politico dated february 10th apparently shows that five conservative justices have voted to overturn roe versus wade and nearly 50 years of abortion rights precedence. the draft opinion is apparently written by justice alito, not meant to be released to the public and is not final but

let's go back to our senior national correspondent, terry moran. good morning, again, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this leak of a draft opinion from the court is unprecedented and it reveals two big things. first, the conservative majority is prepared to do something no court has ever done, roll back a previously granted constitutional right, and that there is an insider who has betrayed the institution. [ crowd chanting ] overnight, protesters gathered nationwide following that unprecedented leak that showed the supreme court could be poised to overturn roe versus wade. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: after politico published a draft opinion that dated february 10th that appears to show five conservative justices are prepared to upend nearly a half century of abortion rights precedents. chief justice john roberts announced in a statement that he has directed the marshall of the supreme court to investigate how the document written by justice samuel alito was made public, calling it a betrayal of the confidences of the court. republican

senior national correspondent terry moran is tracking it all. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. take a look for a moment at this eight-foot security fence and going up all around the court. i've been coming here for decades. i've never seen the court locked down like this. just across the street here, same kind of fencing put up around the capitol after january 6th. it's a sign of how deep and sharp the divisions in this country are that have been deepened and sharpened by the leak of that supreme court opinion. president biden echoes legal scholars on the left is warning that the leaked supreme court draft opinion that would overturn roe versus wade could be just the beginning of the rollback of rights. >> what happens if you have states change the laws saying that children who are lgbtq can't be in classrooms with other children? is that legit under the way that the decision is written? >> reporter: biden says the followers of former president donald trump will push republicans to go further using some of the toughest pol

terry moran is outside the court with the latest. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. this is a glimpse into the future for so many american women with the supreme court seemingly poised to overturn roe versus wade, it's looking more and more like a race among the states to pass the most extreme law restricting abortion and right now oklahoma is winning. this morning, there's a new reality for women emerging in oklahoma. the state legislature has passed the country's most restrictive ban on abortion relying on private citizens to enforce it. >> once signed, abortion will be illegal in oklahoma, full stop. >> reporter: the new law bans abortions from the moment of fertilization and in nearly all cases, except to protect the life of the mother or in cases of incest and rape, but only if those crimes are reported to police. abc's rachel scott noting how often crimes of rape and incest go unreported by victims pressed the bill's author. >> well, the goal of this is to protect the unborn child, so i believe putting in
