      Arguments in the TX abortion provider case were a feat of force from the liberal justices, seeking to show Kennedy how undue the burden is.

      tl;dr: "Thank you, counsel," is the Chief Justice's safe-word, but it didn't work on Wednesday. [This came up repeatedly.]

      Compared to the forcefulness of the liberals, the Chief and, to a lesser degree, Alito sounded like they knew they were on shaky ground.

      The liberals were aiming at showing Kennedy EXACTLY and REPEATEDLY how the TX law ~has~ to be unconstitutional under Casey.

          OTOH: The Chief was asking technical questions — w exception of his "substantial obstacle" focus — & Alito was focused on plaintiff's proof.

          Which included Sotomayor's sharp: "I'm not talking about the doctrine. I'm talking about the question I asked."

          [Note Breyer's reference to 7th Circuit Judge Posner's opinion, which was HIGHLY critical of the 5th Circuit opinion on appeal here.]

          IN SUM: I've never seen the liberal justices (1) so aggressive in args or (2) so self-assured. Was a frontal assault to show AMK everything.
