The Dobbs Decision
from Supreme Betrayal: How the Supreme Court and Constitutional Law Have Failed America · host Mark Tushnet, Louis Michael Seidman
Progressives like us have vigorously criticized the Dobbs decision. Why? Doesn't it return a public policy question to the people for democratic decision-making? You'll hear our criticisms of the Dobbs decision, mostly for its internal logic, and our disagreements about the underlying issue--but our ultimate agreement that there's a fair amount to be said by people on our side of the political spectrum in favor of keeping the Court from constitutionalizing the abortion issue.
