Thread Describing Alito’s “thoughtful, academic and thorough” draft will make you FIST-PUMP – twitchy.com
We’ve seen a lot about the actual act of leaking the draft Alito and of course the absolute, upset, untied collapse left also on the CHANCE that they won’t be able to stop on demand, using the supposedly safe, legal and RARE procedure. as birth control, but what we haven’t seen is very much about what the actual draft says.
Thanks a lot to Carrie Severino for analyzing it for us so that this publisher can understand it too.
The draft opinion reported is thoughtful, academic and comprehensive. It does the job that the majority of Roe and Casey refused to do, looking at the Constitution itself to determine if it includes the right to abortion. The opinion concludes that this is not the case. / 1

The opinion concludes that the Constitution does not provide for the right to abortion.
Yup
Judge Alito’s opinion doesn’t mince words about Roe and his offspring. He describes Roe as “an abuse of judicial authority” and as “on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided”. /2

The roe deer was an abuse of the judicial authority and was absolutely armed.
More Breath on Roe: “[W]Having only ‘raw judicial power’, the Court has usurped the power to address a question of profound moral and social importance that the Constitution unequivocally leaves to the people. “/ 3

so good
To continue.
The excellent discussion of opinion on the factors of stare decisis notes that “some of our most important constitutional decisions have overruled the precedent”, including Brown v. Council, West Coast Hotel Co. and Barnette. / 4

THERE HE IS.
YUP.
With this draft opinion, the Court explicitly rejects attempts to circumvent the political ramifications of its decision and limits itself to doing its job, “which is to interpret the law, apply the long-standing principles of stare decisis and decide to consequently the case “. / 5

This won’t stop the left from pretending it’s political, but it’s true. Abortion should have zero constitutional protections … it’s not a right.
And that * is * exactly the Court’s job. Here the Court finally evades the activity of legislating on abortion, a task for which it lacks both authority and competence. Instead, that work will rightfully be returned to the people and their elected representatives. / 6

We could cry, it’s so beautiful.
This is an exceptional opinion, but it is also an opinion that we shouldn’t have read tonight. The forces of the radical left that seek to undermine the institution of the court have no limits; they will stop at nothing to get what they ask for. / 7

This. This. This.
This leak is just the latest iteration of the left’s shameful campaign to intimidate and undermine the Court, and it should be seen for exactly what it is. / 8 °

Alito did it. I’m sorry, I’m not sorry.
