Supreme Court uses abortion ruling to unleash constitutional mischief

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Well, imagine the Democratic supermajority in the California Legislature wanted to throw out the First Amendment to make sure that Gov. Gavin Newsom survived his recall election.
48% : Or consider New York, where the legislature favors restrictions on the Second Amendment.
44% : The problem is that there is nothing about this scheme that limits its application to abortion.
44% : A 2018 Virginia Law Review article by Jonathan F. Mitchell, a former clerk for Justice Antonin Scalia, explicitly pointed out that the model could be applied to gun control, campaign finance, "sanctuary cities" as well as abortion.
30% : Nonetheless, in allowing a Texas law that stops abortions at about six weeks to go into effect, the Supreme Court has made a grave error that puts more than the right to abortion at risk.
