This image provided by the U.S. Army shows former Col. Gail Curley. When Curley began her job as Marshal of the U.S. Supreme Court less than a year ago, she would have expected to work mostly behind the scenes: overseeing the courts police force and the operations of the marble-columned building where the justices work. Earlier this month, however, she was handed a bombshell of an assignment, overseeing an investigation into the leak of a draft opinion and apparent votes in a major abortion case. People who know Curley described the former Army colonel, a military lawyer by training, as the right kind of person to be tasked with investigating a highly charged leak: smart and unlikely to be intimidated but also apolitical and private.
