The Other Shoe Drops.
Despite a fair amount of evidence to the contrary, I really thought that, like O'Connor, Harriet Miers would be unwilling to go down in history as the woman who virtually singlehandedly overturned Roe v. Wade.
With Alito on the Court, (which is all but a fait accompli as I read the tea leaves), I can picture a not-too-distant future in which either Congress has banned abortion outright, which the Supreme Court has found constitutional, or a handful of states continue to allow abortion, but the states that do not have made it a crime to obtain or assist others in obtaining an abortion, and the Supreme Court has found this to be constitutional. I hope I'm wrong.
