      If the goal is to get rid of Roe (reproductive rights), then you have to also get rid of Griswold (right to birth control). That's what is going on here.https://twitter.com/ElieNYC/status/1316452099027357700 …

      There is literally no good reason ACB can take a position on Brown and Lovong but won’t take a position on Griswold.

      Overturning Griswold sounds fantastical but 1) if you read the right wing intellectual journals, the illegitimacy of Griswold is a longstanding argument 2) the wedge to use against Griswold would be things like Plan B.

          it does not help that the makers of paraguard have testified under oath that they are not entirely sure how their product works.

          I guess it is nice that she thinks that she needs to maintain some facade of intellectual coherence, but a few years as a conservative jurist and she will abandon it and join Alito and Thomas in whatever they want for whatever reason every time.

          I would never wish such a terrible endgame for women, but its hard to imagine a better rallying cry to the left than if SCOTUS were to invalidate the right to birth control. Would make nightmare scenarios for the right (i.e., pack the Court, Dem midterm gains), much morel likely.

          They're not only going to get rid of Griswold, they'll do away with the entire doctrine of substantive due process AND incorporation of the bill of rights/14th Amendment against the states. So - goodbye to Roe, crim procedure rules, separation of church & state...

          They'll also dismantle the regulatory state by dismantling the non-delegation doctrine. And they'll reinstate Lochner, which they'll use to strike down any economic/labor regulations.

          Lawyers & really anyone in the day-to-day horse-trading of the DC policy / political world need to spend more time with historians. Historians have a much greater band of imagination for what a revanchist, reactionary movement intends to do.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          An important and mendacious element here is also that the plan is not so much to *overturn* Roe and Griswold as it is to pare them down so much that they become effectively meaningless
