I am certain that originalists will decry the judicial activism from the right.

This ruling is terribly irresponsible. I'll have to find time to read the full opinion at some point, but this is a major setback for women's health and the right to privacy.

nah, the originalists got it right. the issue that women are really worried about is how much it cost to have dinner ready when their husbands get home from work

Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

Read the opinion: Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization | CNN Politics

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a case centered on a Mississippi law that bars most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, a standard that violates Roe v. Wade.

I wait with bated breath Judge Thomas' dissent when this "Court" , 5-4, rules against "Loving" and "Ollies BBQ". We still have laws against miscegenation on the books in many states and I'll bet Virginia is one. Which will be first, he being turned away from his favorite restaurant or imprisoned/lynched? Can I get odds?

No those are different because something something substantive due process reasons.

Manchin's "alarmed" belongs in the same category as "thoughts and prayers."
