Thomas wants the Supreme Court to overturn landmark rulings that legalized contraception, same-sex marriage

In a concurring opinion to the Supreme Court's ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, the conservative jurist called on the court to overrule a trio of watershed civil rights rulings, writing, "We have a duty to ‘correct the error’ established in those precedents.”

Years ago I read "The Brethren" about the inner workings of the Court.

Their Clerks call the shots, write the opinions, in many cases.

They've clearly gone rogue. He probably just rubber stamps it.

but I find it extremely chilling that the SC struck down the ability of states to enact gun safety laws.

in his written concurrence?

This decision is (yet another) that claims to be limited in scope, so why bring up other protected rights?

He is setting an agenda and presenting it to activists.

I was struck yesterday how many politicians expressed their approval in religious terms. "Glorious Day!" "Praise to God!" These are fanatical camels pushing their noses under the tent.

I guess the other freedoms don't apply to HIM. So he's happy to attack them.
