The Court giveth and the Court taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Court.Thomas, J., concurring: "In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, & Obergefell."

I look forward to the takes of those who yelled at people like me for worrying about implications beyond abortion.

Golly, it sounds like Justice Thomas wants to use the privileges and immunities clause to expand our rights! That will be swell.

It doesn't exacly fit on a bumper sticker, but expect that to resonate in November.From the joint dissent in Dobbs: The majority "says that from the very moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of. A State can force her to bring a pregnancy to term, even at the steepest personal and familial costs."

"Whatever the exact scope of the coming laws, one result of today’s decision is certain: the curtailment of women’s rights, and of their status as free and equal citizens."

Many criminal defense attorneys are going to need to learn more about pregnancy, as we begin to defend women who miscarry or misbehave while pregnant.

Given the unforgiving anti-abortion laws being passed, not only will women be forced to give birth, but they will be forced to die. There is no exception for an ectopic pregnancy or other pregnancy that will result in the death of the woman. These are death sentences.
ReplyDeleteYesterday's decision on Miranda looks to set it up for later overruling, along with the exclusionary rule and other protections.
The reactionaries of the court are running free and wild. The rest of us are the grass to be trampled.
