    This is such gas-lighting. Of course overturning Roe is by itself important. But people are concerned about Griswold, Lawrence, Obergefell because decisions are often criticized by conservatives, including by supreme court justices, including by Alito in the draft he wrote!https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1522223062678224901 …

    This is one thing I find odd about all the arguments about "what overturning Roe will lead the court to next." Isn't Roe important enough in its own right? Normally you make these arguments when people don't care that much about the core thing at issue. https://twitter.com/RameshPonnuru/status/1522217993593245698 …

        I mean Alito's draft basically says Roe isn't “deeply rooted in history" & that Griswold, Lawrence, Obergefell also aren't "deeply rooted" but court won't touch them (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). That's not reassuring!

        In the 50-campaign to overturn Roe, the religious right effected a massive realignment of USA politics & got the court to do something that really goes against preference of prudential wing of GOP. Why would such an energized movement stop at Roe?

        This is a great point. Based on what we already know from Thomas and Alito's prior comments & decisions, there's every reason to worry about Obergefell (and Griswold & Lawrence).https://twitter.com/flglmn/status/1522228060770156544 …

        alito and thomas wrote in 2020 that obergefell has had "ruinous consequences for religious liberty" and that "the Court has created a problem that only it can fix." we don't need to extrapolate from the Dobbs draft to know what he thinks about Obergefell, he keeps saying it pic.twitter.com/fXWqGqHXeN

        I find this line of argument so disingenuous. Once Roe goes, they need a new cause to sell to their rabid base. Got to keep the outrage stoked and the donations rolling in.

        Folk talk about the dog catching the car as if it means that the GOP's base will rebel. They don't see that all it means is that the GOP will have to throw them a *different* bone. It started with desegregation & then it was about abortion for 50 yrs.. They'll move on.

        17th century witch hunting is, apparently, deeply rooted, so there may be much more disruption ahead.
