Roe and Casey overruled. Roberts concurs.
SCOTUS ^ | June 24, 2022 | SCOTUSBLOG

There is nothing in the Constitution about abortion, and the Constitution does not implicitly protect the right.

Not so. It goes BACK to the STATE LEGISLATURES where it always was before the USSC usurped the power of the states with Roe v Wade.

Congress has nothing to do with it.

This is like winning The Battle of Midway, a great victory to be sure, but the War is far from won.

She isn’t seated until Fall. She votes in 2023.

Doesn’t this just pass the decision on individual states?

Yes. Isn't that where it belongs?

Someone refresh my civics please. How long does it take. Seems like Trump’s nominees got seated much faster...

Drop this on a Friday and get out of dodge. Can’t blame them.

Democrats are criminals who think they're above the law... Even liberal judges know their base is violent and ugly.

C.J. Roberts is a cipher.

...

Any doubts anyone might have about the value of the Trump Presidency should, IMO, be eliminated by this particular SCOTUS session.

Agreed 100% on both counts.

Well, two biggies down (Roe and NY Gun Rights case). I’m on the lookout for the W.VA vs EPA case which could severly limit the right of Federal Agencies to unilaterally impost rules and sanctions. Hopefully the SCOTUS will say that Congress actually has to pass specific laws dealing with issues instead of letting bureaucrats create law out of thin air.

Why should it go back to the states?

We fought a law over the legal status of human beings 160 years ago.

Whether or not a baby in the womb has the legal status of a human being should not be dependent upon which side of a state line the mother stands.

In any case, SCOTUS issued the ruling Deep State required.

Deep State is blackmailing prochoice voters: Vote for us or we won’t fix this for you.

Oh THAT’S right, Breyer is still there! I forgot that Trump’s nominees were for deaths or retirements...

When what’s her name takes her seat, we will go back to a one vote majority.

Unless there is a major change from Alito's draft there is nothing that prevents Congress from legislating abortion.

The 10th Amendment.

Nothing prevents the individual state from allowing it.

Except maybe that Constitutional right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness...

Great to see Roberts joining the majority on this to really solidify it and to send the message that intimidation tactics by the left are futile.

My only concern now is that either the "Jan 6 commission" or some bitterly ambitious DA somewhere will bring a cooked up indictment against President Trump as a vengeance move against Trump for appointing the SC justices that made this all possible.

Perhaps I am "tin-foil hatting" here, but I don't see these clowns on the left taking this lying down. They need to raise money for the mid-terms.

As I posted here, Alito’s draft opinion had to be revised to prevent a 5-4 decision, and the opinion issued today specifically states (over and over) that BECAUSE abortion is different (which it certainly is), that those other cases are not overruled or endangered by this opinion.

Alito’s original draft overruled Roe because the USSC does not have the authority to make stuff up. THAT opinion woud certainly kill off gay marriage, sodomy, and birth control AS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, and Roberts would have filed a bitter dissent.

The Court’s session begins in the fall. That’s when she will replace what’s his face.
