Nah, it's all a gentlemen's agreement, given Roe vs Wade, if you want it enough you can bend it the way you want.

  On which end of Roe? The reasoning for the decision was sketchy, and Dobbs overthrew decades of case law.

    All of the original case, and Kennedy's sweet mystery opinion in Casey, and then the transparently political overturning emphasize how political courts can be. I read some of the argument transcripts and usually it is a bunch of lawyers trying to sort out what the law should be given it works this way in this case and that way in that case and this one goes up the middle or the circuits disagree. But sometimes it is much more nakedly political.

      Yeah, people often think there's some magical value to words, but they only have value in the political environment they sit in. If you decide not to enforce it, it doesn't exist, if you decide to over enforce it, everyone will think about it. It's all people's decisions, there's no magic about it.
