Yet another calm, clear analysis; thank you again Jay. During my law school years, I was able to witness US Northern District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel grant a Writ of Coram Nobis overturning Korematsu's manipulated conviction finding specifically that U.S. Naval Intelligence evidence was intentionally withheld from the SCOTUS record. The legal team briefing Judge Patel demonstrated diligent legal work that I never forgot.Years later, I had a procedural case before then Presiding Judge Patel, my opponent & I sat quietly at a court hearing as Judge Patel summarized both of our arguments far better than we could. I think, I did manage a few weak voiced, "That's right your honor". Calm Judicial temperament & skill while simultaneously creating a perfect record, seems fo be in short supply these days.
If memory serves a candidate for the United States Senate once asked: “Can we, as a nation, continue together permanently—forever—half slave, and half free?
So, how is the review standard determined? If five justices agree with this rational basis review, is this an indication that they know their arguments are weak and can’t pass further scrutiny?
Can someone sue the Supreme Court to stop this egregious attempt to strike down RvW? A class action suit, maybe? Tie it up in the courts indefinitely, based on the fact that women are now (supposedly) equally protected under law?
Several options: Just one is for Congress to legislate definitive Federal law. A reality check is coming on that strategy shortly [ Senate vote scheduled for May 11 ] --- then the duty will shift to us - the Voters.
It really doesn’t matter what excuse the illegitimate SCOTUS “justices” use to make this ruling, it CAN NOT STAND. I am more than the sum of my parts, I am not just a vessel in which a male can deposit his seed against my will. Just because I can carry a child doesn’t mean I should be forced to. The ability of someone to forcibly impregnate me does not overrule my right to the sovereignty over my own body. Where does it end? Does bacteria have a greater right to infect our bodies than we do over keeping ourselves healthy? What about parasites? Parasites, viruses & bacteria all invade our bodies, is it really too much of a stretch to consider forcibly implanted semen as more important or more deserving of life, liberty or the ability to survive than me?

Thank you for your reply. I truly hope we (the voters) can prevent this travesty. Fingers crossed 🤞
Good question.

Are justices really immune from accountability? Like there is nothing the people can do?
