After the Dobbs decision, many predicted the #scotus conservative majority would roll back decades of cases finding unenumerated constitutional rights under the controversial doctrine of substantive due process.
But in Maribelli v. Bonta, the shoe was on the other foot. The majority held on Monday that a parent’s right to be informed by the school of their child’s gender transition is protected by substantive due process. #law #supremecourt #shadowdocket
Yeah, I believe in Dobbs Thomas wrote a concurrence in which he mentioned revisiting rulings based on substantial due process, and so many people--some honest, some sensationalizing--really misrepresented that sentence.
This sort of thing lays bare just how misleading those many, many stories were.
