Once the ruling on Roe Vs Wade came down, abortion was legal in every state. There wasn’t a separate case submitted state by state to confirm that.
SCOTUS rulings apply to the entire judicial system.
Yeah they did apply it broadly, just as they are doing in this case, but in point of fact and the law, the decision should have only affected the litigants.
Unfortunately, there is and has been since Dred Scott and others, a legal misinterpretation that give scotus broad power to essentially write new law and amend the constitution.
Now we have come full circle...
