My opinion is that Roe v Wade was a dumb jurisprudential decision that has maybe led to good policy, while Citizens United was a good jurisprudential decision that has maybe led to bad policy. People need to be more comfortable admitting when those two things don't line up.

Josh, do you think Roe should be overturned since it is widely viewed as bad jurisprudence but is somewhat of a compromise in terms of policy? I used to be hesitant about the prospect of overturning it and Casey, but Kavanaugh made an interesting point in the Dobbs oral argument saying it’s really not that uncommon for the Court to overturn bad precedent. Lawrence v. Texas is a good example of the Court reversing precedent that was a win for the LGBTQ community. That made me think that, you know what, maybe Roe should fall and the abortion issue should return to the states. 🤷🏼‍♂️
