The Supreme Court of the United States Thread

Bitter dissent and criticism of dissent by the majority. The majority is pure GOP talking points and thinly reasoned. They ignore completely the reality of what's going on out there.
Supreme court decisions should be based on the law and not "what's going on out there". Constitutional rights are enjoyed by everyone. NY can't pick and choose who gets the right of self defense and who doesn't
 
“For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any sub- stantive due process decision is “demonstrably erroneous,” Ramos v. Louisiana, 590 U. S. ___, ___ (2020) (THOMAS, J., concurring in judgment) (slip op., at 7), we have a duty to “correct the error” established in those precedents, Gamble v. United States, 587 U. S. ___, ___ (2019) (THOMAS, J., con- curring) (slip op., at 9). After overruling these demonstra- bly erroneous decisions, the question would remain whether other constitutional provisions guarantee the myr- iad rights that our substantive due process cases have gen- erated. For example, we could consider whether any of the rights announced in this Court’s substantive due process cases are “privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States” protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. Amdt. 14, §1; see McDonald, 561 U. S., at 806 (opinion of THOMAS, J.). To answer that question, we would need to decide important antecedent questions, including whether the Privileges or Immunities Clause protects any rights that are not enumerated in the Constitution and, if so, how to identify those rights. See id., at 854. That said, even if the Clause does protect unenumerated rights, the Court conclusively demonstrates that abortion is not one of them under any plausible interpretive approach. See ante, at 15, n. 22.”

I disagree with Thomas's reasoning. And as explicitly called out in the opinion, so do the other members of the majority.
 
So... to recap Pelosi.... The Supremes said the states have no say in the constitutional right of the 2A, but are saying that they don't have a say in the constitutional right for women to have abortions.

LG... you are supposedly a lawyer. Can you point me to the part of the Constitution where they addressed abortion?
 
This decision wasn't designed to end abortion in America. It was designed to correctly rule that there is no constitutional right to an abortion, and it properly returns that decision to the states.
But the left will go with the rhetoric of taking away abortion, if you can spin it like the media will it'll be the new division of America. Nancy is already going that route and not saying it's left up to the states. Create mass division vs. 50 state choices.

Yes I know that. But people are excited about this decision because it will lead to abortion bans in some states. Ultimately though it will probably do little to reduce the number of abortions.

Me thinks you missed the intended blue font.
