#SCOTUS: Later, Sotomayor made sure to make abundantly clear to Kennedy how the law could affect women's health:pic.twitter.com/UlvfDyhwFS

Which included Sotomayor's sharp: "I'm not talking about the doctrine. I'm talking about the question I asked."
#SCOTUS: While he did not dominate the arguments, Breyer jumped in at several key moments:pic.twitter.com/zKpDEUhEoI
[Note Breyer's reference to 7th Circuit Judge Posner's opinion, which was HIGHLY critical of the 5th Circuit opinion on appeal here.]
Then, there was the point when Ginsburg was basically, "Come off it. You can set the ACLJ amicus brief on fire."pic.twitter.com/OurN7Cey6a
Breyer wasn't done: "[A]re there going to be more women or fewer women who die of complications?"pic.twitter.com/TEQqXiTj1m
Sotomayor was displeased with the situation for Dr. Lynn in the McAllen clinic.pic.twitter.com/AlXK2fNejX
Finally, Ginsburg pulled the argument back to Casey—and basically had a little chat w Kennedy through Keller:pic.twitter.com/5ZzhZM7jSb
And, FYI, the Chief basically SHOUTED "Thank you, counsel" as Keller finished that sentence. #SCOTUS
I didn't show this previously, but even BEFORE the first "thank you, counsel" plea from CJ, RBG sought add'l time:pic.twitter.com/C13gto31hu
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.
To see how uphill the Chief & Alito had it, when Alito started talking about "undue burden," Kennedy stepped in:pic.twitter.com/HXMyFKohDE

@chrisgeidner Not being butchered is a health benefit to a baby.
@rcjparry @chrisgeidner When you're pregnant you get to make your choice. I'm sure you'll make the right choice for yourself.
@goprapebuster @chrisgeidner When does a baby get a choice?
@rcjparry @chrisgeidner When they can. Fetuses are not babies genius. Sorry 2 burst your bubble but you don't get 2 make choices for others.
@goprapebuster @chrisgeidner But you get to "choose" if a feeling, sensing, self-aware being gets butchered
@rcjparry @chrisgeidner Like I said, I don't think you have a say in this. Abortion is legal. Get a hobby.
@goprapebuster @chrisgeidner Well, I have several. Butchering babies and defending dismemberment seem to be your passion.
@rcjparry Keep spreading false propaganda. Very Christian of you. Either that or you're truly an imbecile.
