    In all seriousness, if you accept the conservative critique of Roe, shouldn't you also object to Griswold, Loving and other cases that establish personal rights? The original statement was more honest, if impolitic.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1506434409356005384 …

        Loving and Obergefell could be justified on other grounds, but a criticism of Roe on substantive due process grounds does likely mean you must object to Griswold too.

        Eh, that depends, doesn't it, on whether your argument that Roe is wrong is "the Constitution doesn't recognize the underlying interest at all" or "there's an overriding interest in protecting the life of the fetus"

        Eh, Loving has distinct equal protection considerations from right to privacy and substantive due process.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        This really undercuts the “legalistic” attack on Roe and reveals that the true conservative issue is “I don’t like the right it established”

        Obviously I support each of them. But I think the constitutional basis of Loving is crystal clear, follows clearly and necessarily from the 14th. I'm inviting misunderstandings by saying. But I think they're in different buckets.

        This is the old "The Civil War wasn't about slavery, it was about states' rights" argument. It only gets used in one context...by people who wish the South won. And there's only one reason people wish the South had won. In other words: it's never about states' rights.

        We conservatives DO oppose Griswold and aren't exactly shy about it.

        If the covert end goal was to transform capitalism from benefiting shareholders to benefiting stakeholders, and "human data capital" was the new commodity class, I suppose it would be strategic to overturn precedents & strip the precariat of their personal rights? #ImpactFinancepic.twitter.com/NlDN2PGhMv
