The Supreme Court justice seized the opportunity, on his 75th birthday, to remind everyone that he really hates the 1965 opinion in Griswold v. Connecticut.
: “This case demonstrates just how far courts have drifted from their original station of adjudicating the rights of the parties before them in accordance with law. In an appropriate case, we should carefully reconsider the facial overbreadth doctrine.”
Then he adds in a footnote: “The facial overbreadth doctrine is but one manifestation of the Court’s larger drift away from the limited judicial station envisioned by the Constitution.” He cites Griswold as one of five cases that the Framers—18th century drunk white guys who didn’t think Black people like Thomas should even be allowed to vote, mind you—wouldn’t have liked.and other stuff?Dobbs
