The not-very-bright Justice Alito

The Sept. 22 issue of The New York Review of Books features an article by constitutional law professor Laurence H. Tribe on the Dobbs decision permitting states to outlaw all abortions.  Tribe dismantles the Alito opinion, pointing out with precedents, analyses, and careful arguments why the decision is an ideological screed with no basis in law or previous decisions.

I have no idea why Tribe has not been nominated to sit on the Court.  He has been writing on legal issues for years, and he is always clear and concise.  He exposes people like Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh and Alito for the intellectual pygmies they are.
