'This Supreme Court is out of touch with the American people and increasingly suffers a legitimacy crisis.' RepJayapal
That is unlikely to stop the right-wing majority from overturning those rulings, said Rep. Pramila Jayapal , chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
The three liberal justices who dissented against the ruling denounced Alito's claim that the decision would not have an effect on other rights previously protected by the court. ."The lone rationale for what the majority does today is that the right to elect an abortion is not 'deeply rooted in history.'"The same could be said, though, of most of the rights the majority claims it is not tampering with... So one of two things must be true. Either the majority does not really believe in its own reasoning. Or if it does, all rights that have no history stretching back to the mid-19th century are insecure.
