Right now they're just focused on finding the whistleblower. Decision is expected to come in the next month or so.

It's weird that no one on cable TV or congress is even talking about immunity for the whistleblower.
Well they betrayed the trust embedded in our holy systems! Mitch McConnel is actually doing press releases where he salivates over the leaker getting caught.
They made the same argument about Snowden, calling for him to be hanged and shit, but there were still a lot of voices saying he did it for the greater good at extreme personal cost.
Not necessary:
Experts say leaking the draft opinion likely wasn't a crime, and Curley's investigative tools are limited. She could theoretically hire an outside law firm to assist, and in other judicial records cases, the FBI has been called in. But it isn't clear if she or others have the power to issue subpoenas to get material from journalists or the fewer than 100 people in the court — including justices — with access to a draft opinion.

idk. Either Reddit and the news gave up on reporting protests, or people have given up and accepted it as a fait accompli.
anything more radical than repeatedly screaming 'vote' into the void is too much for reddit
They're holding off on the ruling until closer to midterms so the anger can be channeled into voting instead of something more impactful
If you mean when the decision will come out, probably on a Monday within the next few weeks.
Wouldn't it be on a Friday so all the government and court spokespeople/officials could take the weekend off and just deal with the outrage in a few days?
Prior to hearing oral argument, other business of the Court is transacted. On Monday mornings this includes the release of an Order List, a public report of Court actions including the acceptance and rejection of cases, and the admission of new members to the Court Bar. Opinions are typically released on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and on the third Monday of each sitting, when the Court takes the Bench but no arguments are heard.

more the protesting against the reversal. nary a peep these days
The energy against it has already been drained. Abortion is already illegal in half the country and has been for a while. The people most likely to protest already live in states that will probably protect abortion rights at a state level. There would truly be a rupture if there's a federal abortion ban, because New York and California would probably refuse to comply.
