Context certainly helps.

The defendant agreed with her and Roberts cut it off:

Spoiler: show

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: I -- I'm not sure I understand the
distinction why the states would have the power
but the federal government wouldn't.

MR. FLOWERS: The federal government
has no police power if we're asking about that.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Oh, it does have
power with respect to protecting the health and
safety of workers. We have -- we have --
accept the constitutionality of OSHA.

MR. FLOWERS: Yes. I took you to be
asking if they had a police power to protect
public health. They -- they absolutely have
the --

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: No, they have a
police power to protect workers.

MR. FLOWERS: I would not call it a
police power. I think the Commerce Clause
power allows them to address health -- sorry,
is there a question?

MR. FLOWERS: It allows them to
address health in the context of the workplace.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Exactly.

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: It's a good
time to move to our sequential questioning.

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.

The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

Deliberations on controversial cases have in the past been fluid. Justices can and sometimes do change their votes as draft opinions circulate and major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before a decision is unveiled. The court’s holding will not be final until it is published, likely in the next two months.

the real question is does this decision enjoin pregnant men too

[simple schoolboy]

How often do we get Supreme court leaks like this? Is this a one off or should SCOTUS not expect to draft opinions confidentially going forward?

[verb_to_trust]

There is no pregnant men, or pregnant women, only birthing persons
