That would be one thing, but Thomas claims. "
" I've spent my entire career in journalism covering Roe's legacy, "Toobin said. Added to. "This has always been the biggest issue in the Supreme Court. At one level, the dispute over Roe is over, but the proceedings from Dobbs will continue to grow, as will Bruen and gun control. All legal proceedings on books will be challenged. "
