Didn’t RBG tell a bunch of them to pound sand over this very issue during her hearing?
I believe you are right.
The whole controversy is ridiculous.
SCOTUS is not going to overturn Roe v. Wade. AFAIK the court has never taken one of its own previous decisions up as a case to re-decide as a new case. The court doesn’t work that way.
It’s up to the legislature to make a law that negates it. Only then could the court look back to R v. W and then only as it relates to the new law. R v. W could become irrelevant through legislation but I don’t believe there is any such mechanism as “overturning” previous court decisions.
