[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a lawyer, so I want to make sure I understand the potential ramifications of this properly:

In addition to severely limiting/eliminating legal abortion in many states, this decision could set the precedent for overturning previous rulings that also used the right to privacy as their basis. That could include Loving (the right to interracial marriage), Griswald (right to purchase contraceptives without government restriction), Obergefell (right to same-sex marriage), etc. Since none of those rights are explicitly spelled out in the Constitution, under this ruling, they would be vulnerable.

Is that correct? [/quote]

That sounds correct to me. Isn't stare decisis kind of dead too? What would stop them from overturning the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or Voting Rights Act of 1965?[/quote]
If they’re not respecting decisions, it’s open season.

Things are about to get heated. Congratulations, mOdErAteS. Was it worth it to take whatever propaganda the GOP fed you? Was it? Do you have any idea the can of worms your stupid protest votes has opened?[/quote]
