Trump judges (here, Amul Thapar) are openly lobbying the Supreme Court to formally overturn Roe v. Wade. opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/2… 
Trump Judge Amul Thapar also adopts the anti-abortion rhetoric about pro-choice judges worshiping at the "altar of abortion," which I find extremely offensive but whatever. These guys get to say whatever they want. opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/2…
Thapar spends a full 22 pages (41-63) railing against Roe v. Wade and begging the Supreme Court to overturn it as soon as possible, condemning past justices for "dismissing our constitutional text and history" while worshiping at the "altar of abortion." opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/2…
While Thapar says he wants to send abortion back to state legislatures, he also includes language reminiscent of the claim that the Constitution prohibits legal abortion and protects fetuses. For instance, he urges "far greater constitutional protection for unborn children."🤔
Thapar seems to be channeling Adrian Vermeule in much of this opinion. Here he praises Poland (!) for its draconian abortion laws. opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/2…
I just want to add that while Amul Thapar plays the consummate originalist here, he recently authored an opinion granting professors a First Amendment right to misgender trans students that was almost comically anti-originalist. He just lied about it. slate.com/news-and-polit…
