Dobbs Sentences #46: Part II B 1
Paragraph 1 of 3 Sentence 3 of 5 The third sentence in this paragraph is another single claim: “Until a few years before Roe was handed down, no federal or state court had recognized such a right.” And like the previous sentence, this claim will need some digging to substantiate. It’s easy enough to identify […]
Dobbs Sentences #45: Part II B 1
The second sentence in this section is a single claim: “No state constitutional provision had recognized such a right.” There’s obviously no quick way to check this, so I’ll leave it undetermined for now.
Dobbs Sentences #44: Part II B 1
Course corrected. Okay. I got myself under control again. My purpose here isn’t to synthesize information to create broader judgements—it’s to break down complex ideas into their component parts for examination. I lost track of that for a bit. I’m going to continue with the breakdown of sentences until I get to the end of […]
Dobbs: Ordered Liberty #1
So far I’ve looked at all of the sentences in Part II section A 1 & 2 and quickly assessed whether the claims in those sentences can be determined true. I came up with many true claims and even more undetermined claims (with one of those likely false). One of the factors preventing me from […]
Dobbs Sentences #43: Part II A 2
Paragraph 9 of 9 Sentence 4 of 4 The final sentence of Part II Section A is a declaration: “When we engage in that inquiry in the present case, the clear answer is that the Fourteenth Amendment does not protect the right to an abortion.” I have to admit that on this pass through this […]
Dobbs Sentences #42: Part II A 2
Paragraph 9 of 9 Sentence 3 of 4 The next sentence contains four claims, the first of which is the whole sentence: “Instead, guided by the history and tradition that map the essential components of our Nation’s concept of ordered liberty, we must ask what the Fourteenth Amendment means by the term ‘liberty.’” Here they […]
Dobbs Sentences #41: Part II A 2
Paragraph 9 of 9 Sentence 2 of 4 The next sentence is single assertion—a judgment rather than a supportable claim—and there’s a little humor in the subtext: “The Court must not fall prey to such an unprincipled approach.” This refers to the previous sentence and the idea that Lochner v. New York and other decisions […]
Dobbs Sentences #40: Part II A 2
Paragraph 9 of 9 Sentence 1 of 4 The next paragraph starts with a sentence containing four claims: “On occasion, when the Court has ignored the ‘[a]ppropriate limits’ imposed by ‘“respect for the teachings of history,”’ Moore, 431 U. S., at 503 (plurality opinion), it has fallen into the freewheeling judicial policymaking that characterized discredited […]
Dobbs Sentences #39: Part II A 2
Paragraph 8 of 9 Sentence 4 of 4 The last sentence of this paragraph is basically a single claim, but there is a second suggestion that is a sort of claim: “As the Court cautioned in Glucksberg, ‘[w]e must . . . exercise the utmost care whenever we are asked to break new ground in […]
