Dobbs Sentences #242: Part III A
Paragraph 4 of 5 Sentence 7 of 7 This sentence is just one claim: “Together, Roe and Casey represent an error that cannot be allowed to stand.” Just one claim, but the claim that expresses the whole point of this decision. Obviously, since so much of what I’ve looked at so far is undetermined, this […]
Dobbs Sentences #241: Part III A
Paragraph 4 of 5 Sentence 6 of 7 This (borrowed) sentence has two claims: “’Roe fanned into life an issue that has inflamed our national politics in general, and has obscured with its smoke the selection of Justices to this Court in particular, ever since.’ Casey, 505 U.S., at 995–996 (opinion of Scalia, J.).” The […]
Dobbs Sentences #239: Part III A
Paragraph 4 of 5 Sentence 4 of 7 I get two claims from this sentence: “Those on the losing side—those who sought to advance the State’s interest in fetal life—could no longer seek to persuade their elected representatives to adopt policies consistent with their views.” The claims: Before I get into the claims, I should […]
Dobbs Sentences #238: Part III A
Paragraph 4 of 5 Sentence 3 of 7 There are two claims in this sentence: “Casey described itself as calling both sides of the national controversy to resolve their debate, but in doing so, Casey necessarily declared a winning side.” The claims: The first claim is phrased strangely. I can wrestle meaning out of the […]
Dobbs Sentences #236: Part III A
Paragraph 4 of 5 Sentence 1 of 7 This sentence is a series of three claims: “Roe was on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided, Casey perpetuated its errors, and those errors do not concern some arcane corner of the law of little importance to the American people.” The […]
Dobbs Sentences #203: Part III
Paragraph 1 of 8 Sentence 3 of 8 Just one claim in this sentence: “It protects the interests of those who have taken action in reliance on a past decision. See Casey, 505 U.S., at 856 (joint opinion); see also Payne v. Tennessee, 501 U.S. 808, 828 (1991).” Here’s the claim without the citations: This […]
Dobbs Sentences #201: Part III
Paragraph 1 of 8 Sentence 1 of 8 The first section of Part III isn’t indicated by a letter, and I’m guessing it serves as an introduction. The topic of Part III is stare decisis, which addresses the concerns of Jackson Women’s Health Organization and the dissenters more directly than Part II’s history and tradition […]
Dobbs Sentences #188: Part II D 3
Paragraph 1 of 3 Sentence 5 of 5 This sentence appears to have two claims: “So if the rights at issue in those cases are fundamentally the same as the right recognized in Roe and Casey, the implication is clear: The Constitution does not permit the States to regard the destruction of a ‘potential life’ […]
Dobbs Sentences #181: Part II D 2
Paragraph 3 of 3 Sentence 2 of 4 This sentence contains two claims: “Under the doctrine of stare decisis, those precedents are entitled to careful and respectful consideration, and we engage in that analysis below.” The claims: The first claim is just a description of stare decisis as this Court understands it (and what is […]
Dobbs Sentences #173: Part II D 1
Paragraph 3 of 3 Sentence 4 of 5 This sentence is two claims: “And today, another half century later, more than half of the States have asked us to overrule Roe and Casey.” The claims: Once we’ve determined whether it is established that the states’ interest in protecting the fetus at all stages translates to […]
