The brilliant account in the New York Times of the undoing of Roe v. Wade exposes a shameful saga of partisan judging by justices who were committed to ending a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion even as they misled the Senate about their respect for long-settled precedent.
Appointed by then President Donald Trump with the mandate of reversing Roe, the three newest justices joined the reactionary core of Justices Thomas and Alito to fashion a decision that will live in infamy, rivaled in disgrace only by the cases of Citizens United and Dred Scott.The story, off how the conservative majority manipulated the calendaring and hearing of the case, and their activism in going beyond the limited relief initially sought by Mississippi, will further erode public confidence in the integrity of the Court and undermine its legitimacy as a once revered institution.
