This newly enacted law is a likely vehicle by which to bring the issue of abortion back to the Supreme Court. If the issue does return to the Court, Roe v. Wade could be overturned if at least five justices follow the logic prescribed in a post that I wrote before Alabama acted.

I fear, however, that Roberts or Kavanaugh (or both) might try to assuage the left — which is a futile and therefore stupid thing to do. But it would be in the long and sad tradition of conservative cuckoldry to the left.
