The two rulings on abortion cases at the Supreme Court this term resolved almost nothing. However. "The antiabortion movement took big swings with these cases and missed in both,” as law professor David Cohen observes.

"I think all three liberals are ringing this alarm so everyone can see that overturning marriage equality is very much on the table at this Supreme Court," says Slate's @mjs_DC about the decision in last week's immigration case, Dept of State v. Muñoz
