I have been saying for a while now, from the unprecedented release of an opinion draft to the news media around that leak leading right up into the actual decision. All of it seems like a planned release intended to directly pit the two sides of the abortion wedge issue against each other in the streets just before the mid terms. In 2014 when the gay marriage decision was announced Obama and the bipartisan leadership were signing the modification to the STOCK act to make it legal fopr congress critters to use insider trading again.

There is a long history of socially powerful but governance irrelevant decisions used to distract the populace.
