The only reason any of us know this is because one of Justice Sotomayor's clerks, Amit Jain, allegedly leaked the draft of the majority decision to the public. This, of course, defies all court traditions since the Supreme Court has traditionally been a very closed system with even the most radical members adherring to long-standing procedures and traditions.
I doubt Mr. Jain did this on his own. More than likely, Justice Sotomayor had her clerk leak it so she could have plausible deniability when the clerk got caught. If she doesn't fire his ass within the next day, I'd say she at the very least wanted this to happen.
Once the news broke, there was much celebration on the Right and many wails on the Left. Naturally, there were also those on the Right, the alt-dour, say that this is just another example of how we're losing or how we're going to lose.
I don't know why the black-pilled basement dwellers think this way. I guess they are so used to the culture shifting ever leftward that they can no longer see victory for what it is. Really, I wish they would just shut up. Being an Alt-Downer is not a good way to go through life, believe me.
The Supreme Court never had any authority to legalize abortion to begin with. The problem was there weren't enough politicians in Congress or the state legislatures with the spine to tell the court to simply fuck off. Congressman Ron Paul proposed The Sanctity of Life Act every year he was in Congress and he would get maybe 1 or 2 co-sponsors.
Even now, with state legislatures getting bolder, they still refused to pass a full ban on abortion, instead passing a law that says they'll ban it once Roe was overturned. I always found that to be incredibly stupid as the states do have the right to nullify Federal laws and court decisions under the Tenth Amendment.
To be fair, I doubt much of it was cowardice. I suspect many Republican politicians aren't too happy about Roe getting overturned because it was one of the few issues that allowed them to rally the base. For many decades, Republicans ran on social issues while doing next to nothing to fix them.
Still, though, this is a victory, not for Republicans but for the American people, especially those living in states where abortion is about to be made illegal. It is, however, a huge defeat for Democrats who have always wanted to kill unborn babies, especially white ones conceived by college sluts and black ones conceived by sassy black women.
So make a toast in celebration of a long battle finally won. Yes, there is still much to do, but for now, we have a win. Next up we should address gay marriage and the return of anti-sodomy laws.
