> Are all of the unconstitutional ratchet laws that were passed during the Roe era political grandstanding? Or do you think their authors and legislators passed them hoping for changes in the judicial branch that would render them “good law”? If we're being real, it's obviously a mix of both. Political grandstanding with plainly dumb laws is definitely a thing that happens. And politicians passing dodgy laws hoping it will work is also something that happens.
