It has to go through the appropriate legal channels first though. It's not like this will be appealed, argued, and ruled on at the Supreme Court level within a week. An injunction will be in place immediately but a ruling from the High Court would most likely take several years. By the time it's appealed either through the Federal district courts or the State courts and makes its way to the Supreme Court the makeup may be different than it is now. It's not unlikely one or two justices (most likely Ginsburg and Stevens) will retire within 2-3 years.
Remember also if the Supreme Court isn't in a favorable configuration South Dakota doesn't have to appeal up to the court for a precedent reaffirming setback. This seems like a positioning move, a set up for a challenge to the fundamental holding of Roe years later.
Very well could be. I sure do wish it sucess, so do some 50,000 or so children every year!
I don't think Ginsburg is going anywhere for a long time. (If only the GOP hadn't confirmed her.)
You're right. It's as good a place to start as any. I also wonder whether some of these S.C. Justices might not read the tea leaves and maybe see that abortion on demand is going the way of slavery and not want to have some history book saying that he was one of the last guys to vote for it.
What makes you think Ginsberg is likely to retire in 2-3 years ?
