the logic of science and the logic of law

[Jessica Silbey]

I wonder what people make, if anything, of the fact that the four justices
who dissented in Massachusetts v. EPA, because they disagreed with
overwhelming scientific consensus that global warming is causing sufficient
harm to provide the plaintiffs with standing, are the same four justices
(plus Kennedy) who voted in Carhart II to disregard national medical
consensus that intact D&Es are necessary procedures for some pregnant women?
Has there been any coverage on this parallel?
