A little suspicious of this SCOTUS leak. They’ve had 49 years to overturn Roe, and there have been a lot more conservative benches over the years. Could be wrong here, but I think choice vs life is being set up to dominate the airwaves until the midterms. They will use this wedge issue to ignore all the other horrible polling issues for the Dems, and they will falsely claim huge liberal turnout supporting abortion. The machines will turn red votes blue again in massive numbers. 2020 all over again.

Criticizing Lawrence is easy, Scalito did it all the time. He warned of a slippery slope and was correct.
More specifically, the issue he and Thomas had with the decision, was that social change came through the courts rather than through the elected branches. Having change come from the courts fuel the fire of court illegitimacy, and further, makes for crazed "I want it now" activists who think they are but one decision away from getting what they want.
I was reminded last night that Obama pointed this issue out, and made an empty promise to fix it.
