He was just leveraging Alito's draft opinion.
Which makes me think he was involved in leaking the draft.
Probably leaked to keep Kavenaugh and perhaps Gorsech in line to overturn Roe, as Kavenaugh's statement was really weak.
But yeah, it's definitely in line with the Federalist Society Platform, so It wouldn't be difficult for him to write.
