I disagree.... I have read a few of Thomas' opinions, and they are almost
majestic in their brilliance. I was very impressed.

Only those who buy into the fear-mongering.

The issue would be returned to the States..... I guess if you are a Texan,
you might lose your right to an abortion, but if you're a New Yorker, you
have nothing to fear. It would take a truly radical Supreme Court shift
to declare that unborn children are alive and thus protected. We're not
even close to that stage..... even Thomas would not vote for it.

You, and just abuot every person with an understanding of constitutional law.
That may or may not mean that
