An associate editor at Wash Post wrote this today:
"At the same time — and, yes, I know how cavalierly they tossed aside precedent in Dobbs — I doubt that even this court is about to upend the national legal landscape again and eliminate the right to marriage equality"
Sotomayor knows better
The head of the WaPo is trying to turn it into a tabloid & it blew up in his face. I'm surprised Ruth is still there, but we can expect it to only get worse. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
Here's the link. It was Ruth Marcus. So many DC elite pundits just don't acknowledge how fucking corrupt, extreme and political these right wingers on SCOTUS are. They see them at cocktail parties!
"I know they all explicitly promised they wouldn't upend Roe and called it settled law. But maybe this time they won't do the same thing" is so mind-numbingly naive and willfully ignorant it's hard to see it as anything but satire
I don’t have to read the article to k ow this is nonsense, Obergefell is a WAY less entrenched precedent than Roe was, if they were willing to do Roe, this would be a snap. A horrific and terrible snap…
They wake up every day in a state of grace, forgetting everything from the day before except their bedrock belief in the common sense decency of the Republican Party. Truly insipid courtesans who aren’t up to describe our moment.
the thing is - while dobbs was by far the largest shift from the roberts court, the last 10 years of the court has been the overturning long standing legal protections for ideological purposes.
