It’s a high-stakes gambit that will test whether the Supreme Court actually meant what it said in Whole Woman’s Health v. Jackson (2021), which held that because of SB 8’s unique style of enforcement, it was immune from meaningful judicial review — and thus would take effect despite very strong arguments that the law was unconstitutional at the time."
SCOTUS actually said "because of SB 8’s unique style of enforcement, it was immune from meaningful judicial review"? I don't know how that got by me at the time, but it did. And of course it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever."
This bunch of renegade conservative (in)justices are downright scary. From here on out, they're going to decide whatever they feel like deciding, on any flimsy pretext whatsoever (or none at all), just because they can. That's pretty much what they did when they struck down Roe, and you know damned well they're going to do it again, as many times as they feel like it.
I wish to hell Biden would get on board with expanding the court, because I don't see any other way to protect the American people from these crazed fanatics. By the time enough of them retire or die off to appreciably change the Court’s makeup, there's no telling how much havoc they'll be able to wreak. Holy fucking crap.
