Two Items on Abortion Politics

Whatever you may think about the reasoning in Roe, you can’t call it a partisan decision; most of the justices in the majority were appointed by Republicans, and one of the dissenters was appointed by JFK. Whatever you might think of the draft decision in Dobbs, on the other hand, it clearly is a partisan decision. Alito probably doesn’t care, but it isn’t a good look for the Supreme Court.

I read somewhere this morning that GOP members of Congress are already discussing legislation to enforce a nationwide ban on abortion. Don’t say I never warned you.
