I don't find the reasoning behind this convincing at all. It would make for a good plot twist in a book, but in my opinion the leaker was most likely an opponent wanting to spark national outrage ahead of the final ruling, in an effort to either pressure judges if the outcome can still be changed, or as an act of vengeance against the court in retaliation for a ruling they feel extremely strongly about.
