    John Roberts, who almost certainly will be a pivotal vote in this case, makes his first remarks of the day. He says fetal viability was not initially an issue in Roe v. Wade, and he says that Justice Blackmun (Roe's author) later suggested that Roe's viability line was dicta.

    Can someone explain what that last line means to an idiot like me?
    Dicta are things in judicial opinions that aren't controlling, they're just there for flair.

    "Legally the cop wins because of qualified immunity, but the cop is still a dick nonetheless."

    The first phase is the controlling decision, the second half is dicta.

    With Roberts arguing the viability line was just dicta, he's framing it as something that doesn't matter.

      Based on the questioning I am hearing about this morning Roe is finished IMO. I could be wrong but I don't see any way it survives.

        Alito is saying a fetus has an interest in having a life and that "interest" (***) should trump the rights of the woman carrying it. Alito wants us to be incubators, nothing else. That's what this argument is.

          This thread hammers it home pretty well.

            Any lawyers want to comment on this?

            Justice Thomas saying the quiet part out loud... substantive due process rights originate in the discredited Lochner doctrine... this won't stop at abortion. All of the rights linked to SDP are at risk with this Court.

            Sounds like the slippery slope is going to get slippier.

              Thomas must want to get his marriage annulled cause there is no way interracial marriage survives if the GOP gets rolling. As my dad said months ago, if they take down Roe (something he never believes is possible) then all rights are on the table to be destroyed.

                From what I'm hearing, it sounds like Roberts is likely looking for a way to gut Roe and Casey without technically overturning them.

                    I don't think he will be successful. Its all or nothing now...

                      Roberts masters stacked the court and he’s expected to deliver.

                      why are all you ninnies being so hysterical.

                            Collins is having her staff spread that crap. To make it work she would need to end the filibuster and she 100% does not support that. This is CYA because she is the face of this court after her big speech about Kavanaugh.

                            **** her.
