While it’s one thing to use treatises from medieval England to establish a floor for rights in Anglo-American legal tradition, it’s quite another to use them as the ceiling.https://t.co/JUyttqBjJD

Today in NYC hundreds of pro-abortion folks showed up to counter clinic harassers. You can see the horrifying truth of what anti-abortion extremists really think when one says "your body is mine" pic.twitter.com/icCbVZyCG4

We may be on the way to state surveillance and policing of reproductive-age women on a scale and intimacy never before imagined, never mind attempted. Listen too to the discussion about possible restrictions on travel out of state by reproductive-age women. https://t.co/F5GHWacPwa

*Missouri is joining Louisiana in making IUDs and Plan B illegal.
*Arizona GOP Senate candidate calls for condoms to be banned in all states
*Idaho Rep. says that he wants to legislation banning Plan B. and possibly IUDs.
This AIN’T about abortion.

ONE bad apple?
Roberts says the leak of a draft opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade is "absolutely appalling" and stressed that he hopes "one bad apple" would not change "people's perception" of the nation's highest court and workforce, per @Arianedevoguehttps://t.co/avmwyPLNiF

Post-Roe world
Republicans are getting very upset people keep retweeting this ad so I figured I would post for any of you who haven’t seen it yet and then I am going to retweet myself tonight. pic.twitter.com/rrq1j5UPqw

Hmm
Someone suggested a spouse of a SCOTUS justice could’ve leaked the Roe v Wade draft, and it follows. It would help distract from prosecution for her pet project (The Insurrection) AND highlight her life’s work, overturning Roe v Wade. pic.twitter.com/OvM6Rsv4cw

They’re coming for everything
GOP: How dare @RepSwalwell accuse Republicans of wanting to ban interracial marriage.🤬
ALSO GOP: Republican Senator Senator says SCOTUS should never have legalized interracial marriage.
Nothing offends the GOP more than repeating back to them the horrible things they believe. pic.twitter.com/xRi3uBkYgi

John Roberts and his tiny violin
BREAKING: Chief Justice John Roberts confirms the authenticity of a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion on abortion. Roberts called the leak an "egregious breach of trust" and ordered an investigation. https://t.co/BdJg9TCrF4
— The Associated Press (@AP) May 3, 2022
That the leak itself "was a blow to the legitimacy of the court" is the kind of clueless yet portentous procedural melodrama that only someone who has been entirely captured by the institution could possibly write. The decision is what matters. Period.

Justice #Alito says the basic premise behind the Roe v. Wade decision isn't in the Constitution.
Know what else isn't in the Constitution? A specified number of SCOTUS justices.#ExpandTheCourtNow

‘Judicial ethics’ is an oxymoron
The attitude that judges are somehow above ethics concerns is easily disproven by the number of reports we saw last year, detailing the conflicts of interests of the federal judiciary. It's a big problem. https://t.co/LaavzMYeX9

How about that
The House has passed the Courthouse Ethics and Transparency Act —legislation that expands the financial disclosure requirements for federal judges, including the justices of the Supreme Court.
It will now head to the president's desk to be signed into law.
