This decision is even worse than I original thought and I original thought is was really bad. It's worse than that. They decided any Supreme Court decision can be changed. No Supreme Court decision can be trusted.
They have destroyed the reputation of the court and I don't know if it can ever be recovered.
I am all in on the idea to expand the court.

They shouldn't have overruled Roe and Casey, but not merely because those cases are settled precedent, but because those cases were correctly decided.
Many cases, some decades old, have been overruled. For example, Obergefell overruled Baker v Nelson, a 1972 case. It would have been outrageous if the Court has refused to overrule that case simply because it was a forty-plus year old precedent.
