I just came across this really interesting piece in the latest Dissent. It touches on some broader questions of leftist advocacy strategies and framing, and also dives into some of the legal prehistories that I wasn’t familiar with (eg. how the apparently impending decision is prefigured in many ways by an important case, Planned Parenthood v.
