‘Roe v. Wade was on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided.’
Excerpts from Justice Alito’s draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Roe found that the Constitution implicitly conferred a right to obtain an abortion, but it failed to ground its decision in text, history, or precedent.
It relied on an erroneous historical narrative; it devoted great attention to and presumably relied on matters that have no bearing on the ‘meaning of the Constitution; it disregarded the fundamental difference between the precedents on which it relied and the question before the Court; it concocted an elaborate set of rules, with different restrictions for each trimester of pregnancy, but it did not explain how this veritable code could be teased out of anything in the Constitution, the history of abortion laws, prior precedent, or any other cited source; and its most important rule (that States cannot protect fetal life prior to “viability”) was never raised by any party and has never been plausibly explained.
Overuling precedent
Some of our most important constitutional decisions have overruled prior precedents. … In Brown. v. Board of Education, the Court repudiated the “separate but equal” doctrine, which had allowed States to maintain racially segregated schools and other facilities. In so doing, the Court overruled the infamous decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U. S. 537 (1896), along with six other Supreme Court precedents that had applied the separate-but-equal rule.
Roe legislated from the bench
[Roe’s] elaborate [trimester] scheme was the Court’s own brainchild. Neither party advocated the trimester framework; nor did either party or any amicus argue that “viability” should ‘mark the point at which the scope of the abortion right and a State’s regulatory authority should be substantially transformed. … This scheme resemble[d] the work of a legislature. …
Roe certainly did not succeed in ending division on the issue of abortion. On the contrary, Roe “inflamed” a national issue that has remained bitterly divisive for the past half-century. … Indeed, in this case, 26 states expressly ask us to overrule Roe and Casey and return the issue of abortion to the people and their elected representatives.

After reading a blog post filled with repetitive, copy/pasted manically and increasingly hysterical off-topic comments by a newbie who apparently doesn’t know how to pay attention, stay on-topic, or do adulting, I logged off and collapsed into my wife’s arms with sobs wracking my body for a good 30 minutes, the silence of our living room punctuated by my wails and moans of sadness after another traumatic encounter with online idiocy.

Maybe, but there probably were more than a few who rolled eyes and stifled snickers. Which probably caused THEM to ramp it up to even wilder levels on the ol’ Wack-o-Meter.

“just imagine the trauma inflicted on his students.”
Just like bimbette Mt. Horeb social worker Samantha Hamer was outed to her employer for beating State Senator Tim Carpenter, Sgt. Schultz’s employer should be informed how unhinged he is.
Heck, he might snap and injure young students; this certifiable Lefty NEEDS to be doxxed…it’s for THE CHILDREN!

Looks like the mayors will have to hire more social workers to take the place of the cops.
Shouldn’t be much of a problem, though, lots of smart people said so last summer. Must be true!
