limit civil rights, not expand them,' expert says

According to a leaked draft opinion, the Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade and make history in a number of ways — including by overturning itself to limit the rights of Americans.

"Overturning Roe v. Wade would be such a significant decision because it would be the first time in the history of the Constitution that precedent would be overturned to limit civil rights, not expand them," according to Neama Rahmani, the president of West Coast Trial Lawyers and a former federal prosecutor.

The draft opinion indicates the court seems poised to overturn the 1973 landmark decision that enshrined the right to an abortion. Written by Justice Samuel Alito, the draft was unflinching in its condemnation of the reasoning behind Roe, prompting concerns it could help set the stage for additional rights to be overturned.

For instance, Rahmani said in an email to Insider that the Supreme Court's reasoning to overturn Roe could be extended to erode Miranda rights, which require law enforcement to inform a criminal suspect of their right to remain silent.

9. I Would Think That Every Decision Over The Last 49 Years

That relied on the same section of the 14th Amendment is now toast and not just Roe and Casey.

But this is also just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to radical change. A lower court struck down the alphabet regulatory agencies because those agencies are not permitted to write regulations because the court has ruled that to be legislating and only Congress is authorized to write legislation and regulation is a form of legislation.

So it is not just the Great Society that is destroyed by the courts but also the New Deal. FLUSH.
