What was the Constitutional reasoning to overturn Roe v. Wade after nearly 50 years?
What was the Dobbs v. Jackson lawsuit all about? How did the majority of judges use it to mandate governmentally forced pregnancy? What did the concurrence and dissent opinions say?
Justice Clarence Thomas stated that other cases should be revisited. What does THAT mean and did he and other justices mislead the Senate and the public at their confirmation hearings? What is “stare decisis” anyway and how is it used to cause judicial continuity?
