For this Supreme Court to reject abortion restrictions, the argument has to be pretty bad.

Hawley on Tuesday was at times buried by a bipartisan dogpile as the likes of Chief Justice John Roberts, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Barrett and even Clarence Thomas joined the liberals in questioning the groups standing to bring the challenge and the nationwide restrictions its seeking.
Justice Samuel Alito, one of the most doggedly devoted members of the bench to reverse engineering even doily-like arguments into his preferred outcome, tried valiantly to put a gloss on the anti-abortion case.
Is the FDA infallible? he challenged the government. Isnt it obvious that lifting multiple restrictions at once may have a different effect in combination, he mused, parroting the anti-abortion groups argument. He sneered that the manufacturer of branded mifepristones injury is just monetary a refreshingly dismissive take on corporate interest from a right-wing judge.

(37,062 posts)The goal is not to outlaw abortion. The goal is to keep trump out of jail. Outlaw this drug and trumps judges will guarantee a landslide for Dark Brandon. Witch doctors Alito and thomas boxed the court in with their garbage Dobbs decision. Now theyve become tightrope walkers. Certainly not justices in the highest court in the land.

I'm certain though we will find such "legal reasoning" in the dissents of Alito and Thomas.
