I have read some of Thomas opinions mostly from other informed Journals (such as The Intercollegiate Review) and I have yet to see any evidence of that. Why do you consider Thomas suddenly becoming pro-abortion, to be a possible out come? |
There is this, unless it is mistaken:
For serious policy wonks, the most important abortion buzzword is ‘Stare Decisis’ -- that is the basis upon which Clarence Thomas declined to rule against Roe v. Wade. Thomas meant that although he would have ruled against Roe v. Wade in 1973, he would not do so now because the 1973 Supreme Court ruling had been in force for a quarter century and hence has precedential weight.
