The draft opinion, alarming in tone and tenor, is pure and unadulterated Samuel Alito.
We’re just going to admit now that it is overturned and that’s not what happened. And I think the reason why it’s just three words: Amy Coney Barrett. As soon as Barrett joined the court, the calculus fundamentally shifted because there were five justices who clearly despisedwho no longer had to rely on chief justice John Roberts, and his somewhat more cautious and institutionalist, incrementalism and could go whole hog.
I think it’s quite possible though, that Alito said, well, Brett and Amy are going to make me tone down some of this stuff, but I’ll put as much of it in as possible to make it more difficult for them to eliminate all of it. I will go all the way to fury mode and just deride Harry Blackmun as a partisan hack and a baby killer. I’ll just write off Anthony Kennedy as a pretentious doof, who had no idea what he was doing.
