Supreme Court might Never Recover From Overturning Roe Vs Wade

But the draft ruling’s dreadful reasoning and extreme potential consequences are far more concerning than what the leak says about the court’s internal dynamics. Written by Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., the document would declare Roe “egregiously wrong,” obliterate its guarantees of reproductive choice and empower lawmakers to abridge at will this long-held right.

The court’s legitimacy rests on the notion that it follows the law, not the personal or ideological preferences of the justices who happen to serve on it at any given time. Americans rely on the court to exercise care and restraint against making sharp turns that might suddenly declare their everyday choices and activities unprotected or illegal. Over the course of nearly half a century, the court not only issued Roe but upheld its bedrock principles against later challenges. Throughout, the original 1973 decision enjoyed broad and unwavering public support. What brought the court to its current precipice was not a fundamental shift in American values regarding abortion. It was the shameless legislative maneuvering of Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), who jammed three Trump-nominated justices onto the court.

6. We can hope

I kind of like the idea of rotating senior judges from the top tier in and out of SCOTUS periodically. This lifetime strategy that can be gamed is for the birds.

7. Samuel Alito...Partisan Hack

Amy Coney Barrett…Partisan Hack

Brett Kavanaugh…Partisan Hack

Clarence Thomas…Partisan Hack

I’ll give John Roberts the benefit of the doubt.

The pukes don’t wipe their ass without considering the partisan angles.
