Litman: Mississippi's abortion brief dynamites standing law and 'super duper' precedents (via latimesopinion)
The new Supreme Court conservative supermajority has already radically changed notions of law in some pockets of America. For proof, look no further than the brief that the state of Mississippi filed last week in the most closely watched abortion case in a generation, Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which the Supreme Court will decide next term.
States are entitled to respect within our federalist constitutional system, but they in turn are no less obligated than the federal government to uphold the Constitution and faithfully apply controlling precedent.Mississippi’s cheek in passing a law that is irreconcilable with governing law is an act of official irresponsibility of a piece with the South’s behavior during Reconstruction and the civil rights era.
In the major follow-up case to Roe, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania vs. Casey, Pennsylvania argued that the court didn’t need to reexamine Roe in order to uphold the state’s limits on the right to abortion, but if it did, it should hold that abortion legislation should be reviewed with more deference to the state.
