Citing Roe v. Wade as he did so, Justice Kavanaugh outlined how he believes the court should determine when it is appropriate to throw out “erroneous precedents.”

The justice then put forth suggestions of three questions justices can ask to decide whether a wrong decision warrants being overturned.

This was an interesting decision, with justices all over the place on their view of precedent. Kavanaugh’s opinion can be read as supporting overturning Roe v Wade/Casey… or not. Alito’s dissent was also interesting and can be read to suggest that he (and/or Roberts) is not so sure about overturning RvW, or are they? With two new justices on board, the next abortion decision should be very interesting, that’s for sure.
