Sound the Misinformation Alarm, because Hillary Clinton's take on SCOTUS' Texas heartbeat law ruling 'is completely incorrect'

Apparently Hillary Clinton’s been watching a lot of MSNBC lately, because her argument against Texas’ heartbeat law bears a striking similarity to the one made by MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance:

Last night, the Supreme Court officially overturned five decades of settled law and permitted Texas' unconstitutional abortion ban to stand.

Yes: They gutted Roe v. Wade without hearing arguments, in a one-paragraph, unsigned 5-4 opinion issued in the middle of the night.

Cry more, Hillary.

As Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her dissent of the Texas law and her colleagues' decision to allow it:

"The Act is a breathtaking act of defiance—of the Constitution, of this Court’s precedents, and of the rights of women seeking abortions throughout Texas."

And as Justice Alito wrote:

Justice Alito: "In particular, this order is not based on any conclusion about the constitutionality of Texas’s law, and in no way limits other procedurally proper challenges to the Texas law, including in Texas state courts." https://t.co/ago9L3qNGG

Stare decisis is a stupid argument. These are the same people who think the Constitution is a living document, but for some reason, they can’t fathom interpretations of law changing over time.

For the record, Brown v. Board also overturned a “settled law.” https://t.co/XVyyDs3FcZ
