A long article by Prof. Emer. Laurence Tribe, "Deconstructing Dobbs," in the New York Review of Books' September 22, 2022 issue, offers an absolutely devastating analysis of the US Supreme Court's Dobbs decision that overturned Roe.

The article exposes the utter absence of coherent rationale in the majority decision, i.e., this was an ideology-driven decision and violates the First Amendment's separation of church and state.
"The theocratic movement to advance religiously based governance -- the antithesis of genuine religious freedom -- has installed as the law of the land the essentially unreasoned position advanced in Dobbs, replacing the compromise between life and liberty embodied in Roe and Casey with the absolutist claim that the presence of a potential life instantly and automatically transforms a woman's body into a vessel that governments are free to regulate as they see fit. This is unlikely to be the final step on the trecherous path the Court has chosen."
... "... a barely concealed theocracy..."
Along with the gun control decision the day before and the EPA decision a week later, he concludes:
"It's hard not to see this rogues' gallery of decisions as reflecting little beyond the political party platform of the justices comprising the majority with respect to abortion, religion, guns, climate change, and the administrative state rather than any coherent constitutional philosophy."
