The Democratic Justices all expressed their view that overturning Roe would discredit the Supreme Court as the bastion of honest judicial rulings. Sorry, guys, that was obvious over 100 years ago in 1901:

That decision prompted humorist Finley Peter Dunne to coin the line suggesting the Supreme Court really wasn’t an impartial bastion beyond politics but reflected the nation’s political mood.

Dunne wrote his Chicago newspaper pieces in the brogue of an imaginary Irish-American called Mr. Dooley. “No matter whether th’ Constitution follows th’ flag or not, ‘th Supreme Coort follows th’ iliction returns,″ he commented on a 1901 decision.

Occasionally there are justices who are concerned about true justice, but that is not the usual situation.
