The Accidental Decision

Of course, all the huffing and puffing in the Senate was over one case--Roe--and whether Roberts would vote to overturn it. Interestingly, the L. A. Times recently had a terrific piece on the decision.

The ruling was not intended to be so sweeping: "It is the story of a rookie justice (Harry Blackmun), unsure of himself and his abilities, who set out to write a narrow ruling that would reform abortion laws, not repeal them."

The L.A. Times piece, based on newly-released Blackmun papers, is several weeks old. I would have missed it but for the eagle-eyed Amy Welborn of Open Book.
