On a day many Americans on both sides of the abortion issue thought would never come, the Supreme Court reversed the "settled law" of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Justice Samuel Alito's finding for the court will have massive ramifications for American politics, culture, and law. The opinions are worth reading in their entirety — particularly the concurrences of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Clarence Thomas, the former for warning states that may seek to subvert federalism, the latter for its monumental achievement of criticism of substantive due process. It will take time to digest this ruling responsibly as a legal matter.
