      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 …

      Replying to @HeerJeet

      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.

      That's fair. Although I think there's some reverse engineering going on where conservatives who don't like, say, Roe or Obergefell, are casting a more skeptical eye on decisions seen as leading to them.

      There's no connection at all between Griswold/Roe and Loving.

      Replying to @JamesSurowiecki @HeerJeet @joshtpm

      That’s not true: conservative constitutional theory starts with the assumption those are bad and works backwards. Also they’re both 14th amendment substantive due process cases, lmao

      Replying to @j_wigdahl @vituperativeerb and

      There’s no coherent or principled defense of the constitutionality of anti-miscegenation laws. They explicitly violate the equal protection clause in the service of an unacceptable state interest in racial discrimination. They’re the definition of unconstitutional laws.

      And yet they were seen as constitutional for a century after the Reconstruction amendments.
