Clarification (thanks, @maggiewittlin): substitute “epic s#>t storm” in place of “interbranch warfare.” But my main point is that JGR, for better or worse, isn’t much of a good conservative soldier - he’ll go along with smaller things but not big ones.https://twitter.com/davidlat/status/1012060492138008576 …

The answer to "why overrule?" is that it's reasonably likely some state will see the retirement and straight-up outlaw abortion. The Court might be able to avoid the issue, but it would be hard.

Quite possible - but the Texas / Whole Woman approach is more savvy (don’t outlaw, just regulate to the dickens).

Savvier, sure. But Iowa just passed a fetal heartbeat law, essentially outlawing abortion at 7-8 weeks gestation (I believe). We've got 50 states, and I doubt all of them will prioritize being savvy. https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/publications/LGE/87/SF359.pdf …

Interesting - I had missed that.

Currently stayed. We’ll see what happens. Doesn’t seem to be a given anymore that it’ll be struck down.
