shepherded the Dobbs decision through the court.

Behind the Scenes at the Dismantling of Roe v. Wade

This is the inside story of how the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion — shooting down compromise and testing the boundaries of how the law is decided.

In it there was a reference to this.

“He is against abortion,” Rose Alito replied quickly. “We both are.”

She said her son “still carries his Roman Catholic values with him. He is a very ordinary person, very conservative.”

Less than half an hour later, she received a phone call from her son.

“Oh Sam, there are people all over the house and in front of the house,” Rose Alito said excitedly. There was no exchange of pleasantries. On the other end, Alito was apparently telling his mother not to say anything further and to order reporters out of the house.

Ever since Dobbs was overturned there has been speculation it was decided based on religious beliefs, not constitutional scholarship, by the Court's catholics. In part due to the convoluted, historically inaccurate justification Sam used in his decision that was leaked to the public. It would appear, in Sam's case, Roman catholic values prevailed over legal precedent and reason. He is against abortion, has been his whole life due to his religious beliefs, and thus created a legal rationale to strike down Dobbs.

Alito could not strike it down on his own.

Joe "God Lover" Alito is the subject of etics allegations taking free vacations thanks to one of his billionaire buddies. Joe "God lover" Alito failed to disclose this because he thinks he's better then us mere mortals.

He's just another priviledged right wing hypocrit.

They lied.

 

[berg80]

Justice Kavanaugh, facing a narrow confirmation vote in 2018, had assured Democratic senators that he considered Roe to be “settled as a precedent of the Supreme Court, entitled the respect under principles of stare decisis,” or adhering to past decisions. Later, Senator Susan Collins, a Republican abortion rights supporter, said he had told her privately: “I am a don’t-rock-the-boat kind of judge. I believe in stability and in the Team of Nine.”

So who's surprised that four right wing hacks annointed to the SCOTUS are nothing but a pack of bold faced liars?

 

[berg80]

They lied.

Knowingly, and in premeditated fashion.

 

[Esdraelon]

Still bitchin' and moanin' about that decision? 9 justices invented a "right" out of thin air that forced all 50 states to allow abortion. No one voted for this, it was a judicial diktat. Reversing that did not instantly mean that abortions were outlawed. The matter was returned to the states so that a government closer to the people could make the decision, THEN the people could vote on whether they agreed with their state government or not. You guys have a thing about central control of government and allowing no dissent on issues.

2022 proved that this system still works to keep politicians accountable. What was predicted to be a Red wave turned out to be a NEAP Tide because the Left managed to weaponize that decison against Republicans. You want national one size fits all abortion? Bring a bipartisan bill to the Congress. Take it through the process and see if you can get the approval of enough states. If you can't then the national will is against a one size fits all policy. States still have the ability to provide abortions within their borders and many of them do so. That tyranny you guys keep wailing about? If you really want to see it in action - look in a mirror.

It was obviously decided on religious beliefs. That's how the federalist society has been picking judges for a decade. They want a theocracy.
