  1. It’s a decent summary of events, but understates the extent to which the worst of the socially revolutionary decisions last term don’t particularly pretend to make legal arguments for their results, instead resorting to easily-debunked historiography and bizarre policy arguments. @JaneMayerNYer/1576329376064487424

      There are indeed colorable legal arguments one might employ against Roe, and Casey to a lesser extent. But you won’t find them in a decision that wouldn’t be out of place read aloud at an exceedingly boring Trump rally.

        Worse, it comes after a series of legal ethics crises that make it clear the majority is results-oriented (nearly undermining the whole federal judicial function with SB-8 litigation, as a joke apparently) and corrupt (AFP v Bonta, where justices ruled for their donors).

          Change won’t come easily, but the solution to a real Constitutional crisis (if the majority doesn’t bring one on with their sham independent state legislature cert grant), is determined incremental reform that’s responsible and accountable to the American people’s trust.
