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

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.
