Editorial | 'Gorsuch had the choice to cast his lot with Chief Justice John Roberts and respect the Constitution, stare decisis, and judicial restraint. He did not select that course.'
For evidence of the radical nature of Alito’s majority opinion striking down decades of court precedent, read Chief Justice John Roberts’ concurrence, which is actually more of a dissent. Roberts opposes striking down Roe vs. Wade even as he supports allowing the Mississippi ban on abortions after 15 weeks of gestation to take effect.
Instead, the court has let millions of American women down by allowing their rights to be stripped from them the moment an egg is fertilized. This is a radical position. The court held that from the moment a woman copulates while ovulating the state has a compelling interest in protecting the zygote that might form, long before the developing cells are even successfully implanted in a uterus to begin embryogenesis.
At least Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is honest about where the court is headed in his assessment of the ruling, preparing Americans for a rolling back of individual liberties that will make all Americans, not just pregnant women, less free, less safe in our homes from unjust government intrusion and less, well, American.
The Washington Post’s George F. Will called the Court’s ruling on the concealed carry law “a beaut” of a mistake: “On Thursday, the court effectively removed from public debate the essentially legislative choice of balancing the competing values of self-defense and public safety.”
