Decided just a term ago, this is the final word from the Supremes on the topic. And so, this one is just housekeeping.

Federalism — if it is to mean anything… must mean that one or two states cannot hold all the other 48 or 49 hostage, to their supposed “moral” — not legal… beliefs.

While the Justices are working on procedural niceties to give adequate time for Thomas and Alito to vent their spleens to the other seven… we will see some more temporary orders.

But we will not see the reversal of this recent decision protecting choice. It is deeply rooted in the notion that a doctor and her patient are the arbiters of this decision. Not some supposed fundamentalist / religious faction of some southern state house — not for the entire nation.

Nope. Onward. [The Voting Rights Act decision, on the other hand — is a deeply troubling / non-realistic rendering. Damn.]
