SCOTUS Strikes Down Texas Abortion Ban

Not really. The legal issue was incredibly specific and made assumptions and he took it apart with his comments about not undoing another part of the government:

“In a democracy, the power to make the law rests with those chosen by the people. Our role is more confined —‘to say what the law is.’ … That is easier in some cases than in others. But in every case we must respect the role of the Legislature, and take care not to undo what it has done. A fair reading of legislation demands a fair understanding of the legislative plan. Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them. If at all possible, we must interpret the Act in a way that is consistent with the former, and avoids the latter.”
