The march of folly continues

The SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe certainly qualifies as folly, both in terms of the decision to reverse half a century of settled law and in terms of what it does to the credibility of the Supreme Court. "To qualify as folly for this inquiry, the policy adopted must meet three criteria: it must have been perceived as counter-productive in its own time, not merely by hindsight. … Secondly a feasible alternative course of action must have been available. … third … the policy in question should be that of a group, not an individual leader." ~Barbara Tuchman, "The March of Folly"
