This is pretty much how it went for SCOTUS throwing out 50 years of law, except the last part: the right just moved the goalposts and cranked up more gaslighting about how there really won’t be Gilead States.
They didn’t even pretend as if anything needed to be fixed, they just wanted to push the Overton window even further by outlawing things in free states and trying to get rid of the Plan B everywhere, etc.
Yeah, most decisions by SCOTUS nowadays feel like they are justified with “We don’t like X, so now it’s Y” and attached to it is a dissent that says “The majority only says Y because X is not politically expedient for them”
