Thomas on the End of Roe and the Continuing Despotism of Substantive Due Process

Having already commented upon Justice Samuel Alito’s leaked opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization , the most interesting opinion to discuss now that the decision has dropped is Justice Clarence Thomas’ seven-page concurrence. At the heart of Thomas’ opinion is a brief reflection on liberty and despotism in American government today that transcends narrow legal analysis and implicates the basic principles of American politics.

It is no wonder journalists scribbled their usual nonsense about Thomas and missed its significance entirely. (Of the dissent, I can charitably say that it more resembles the warbling of the mechanical doll in Tales of Hoffmann than it does jurisprudence.)

Celebrating 30 years on the Court, Thomas reiterated the Court’s opinion that “there is no constitutional right to abortion” because the “substantive due process” argument that supported Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey was based on a “farcical” assumption, an “oxymoron.” The due process clause of the 14th Amendment concerns legal process, not “ any ” (Thomas’ emphasis) substantive rights. (I omit Thomas’ citations of his previous opinions on abortion, which present a rich cornucopia of his abortion jurisprudence. I cannot recommend them strongly enough to the interested reader, who can discover them through citations or links in the complete case.)

As Thomas notes, and as Alito’s opinion underscores, no other cases involving same-sex marriage, contraception, and sexual activity are affected by this case on the unique instance of abortion. But Thomas nonetheless asks for a reconsideration of all “this Court’s substantive due process precedents.” Then, once these cases are overruled, we can turn to consider whether “the myriad rights” from these cases might be protected by, say, our 14th Amendment’s clause concerning the “privileges or immunities” of American citizens. Of course, this astonishing sweep of the legal horizon is meant to shock […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down

Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.

For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.

Thank you and God bless!
