Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It seems to me there's an easy workaround for the GOP justices. Out of thin air and bullshit they could create some sort of bizarre and super-technical carve out ruling. They would design the principle so in theory it at least has a tinge of actual jurisprudence. But in actual practice the ruling can only refer to a pregnant person and a fetus.
What am I missing?
I think you got it. Insofar as the conservatives care about maintaining a semblance of legitimacy for the Supreme Court / Federal government, they are perfectly fine with blatant contradictions in their opinions. Because, you know, they’re fascists. They wouldn’t care if upholding this ruling would undermine interstate commerce or whatever. Laws are Calvin Ball to these people, subject to change on a whim to benefit whoever they need to and harm whomever they want. Legitimacy is a rubric they, and other fascistic people in power, control. Our opinion about their legitimacy does not matter.
