Alito's DIY Precedent Kit - Mark Fiore - Political Cartoons
We’re not talking early United States history, in the leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, he went back to 1250 or so to find a treatise that suited his needs. It’s an interesting (sloppy) way to undermine a Supreme Court precedent that goes back 50 years — just dig up a couple of old English judge/cleric types who espoused torture and burned witches.
No matter what your views on abortion may be, the draft ruling that would overturn Roe is a danger to many rights we currently have in this country. (Even though Alito pinky-promises he’s only applying a key part of his legal “logic” to Roe.)
This is only the beginning of the rise of a Trump-branded Supreme Court.
