Alito's draft in the Dobbs case is not a "legal" decision. Some would say it is a "political"

[Atticus]

decision, but I think that misses the mark.

Alito puffed up his self-righteous self and authored a RELIGIOUS decision.

He knows, you see, not just what is legal and illegal. More importantly, in his opinion, he knows what is right and what is wrong and--- BY GOD!---abortion is WRONG!

A 49 year old 7-2 bipartisan SCOTUS precedent (Roe) reinforced by a 19 year later re-affirmation (Casey) universally considered "precedent on precedent", can just be flushed when you are doing "the Lord's will", don't you see?

Alito knows the law from A to Z---Arrogance to Zealotry.

1. Yup, you nailed it, my dear Atticus! NAILED. n/t

2. TRUTH - right there! n/t

[KPN]

3. To date myself, right on right on!

4. You are clearly correct.

This is not a legal opinion. A legal opinion would be based on stare decisis - the foundation of legal reasoning.

This opinion could have easily been written by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith f/k/a The Inquisition. SCOTUS is now firmly controlled by Opus Dei.

5. Correct. The decision uses government to force people to follow Alito's preferred religion

And that is where I would begin to think about it, if ... as if ... I were a lawyer.

6. Well, it's not like he's the only religious person on the Court.

Isn't he one of the Catholics who occupy a majority of the seats?

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Correct, but he wrote it. /nt

[Mr.Bill]

8. I'm just worried he wrote it

to appeal to his Catholic friends on the court. They aren't even pretending there is such a thing as separation of church and state anymore. They are there to force their religion on the country.

9. Yup, that is the problem, in a nutshell.

The GOP that warned JFK was a papal agent has installed exactly that.

10. Not just Catholics -- Protestant Evangelicals & Fundamentalists
