Legal experts are mocking Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito after his fiery dissent in Thursday's Mifepristone ruling revealed just how angry he is that blue states have found a way around his decision overturning Roe v. Wade.....
Stern said Alito's dissent revealed his selective view of state sovereignty.
"In Alitos view, red states have absolute freedom to persecute abortion providers and patients, while blue states have no authority to protect them," Stern said.
Dennie went further, drawing a historical parallel to pre-Civil War personal liberty laws, when free states refused to return enslaved people to slave states.
"Here, again, we have judges like Alito suggesting that unfree states should be able to reach into free states and impose their laws on everyone elseto impose their unfreedom across the whole country," she said.
