Breen authors piece on Samuel Alito

Jenny Breen, associate professor of law in the College of Law, authored the Common Dreams opinion piece “The ‘Raw Judicial Power’ of Samuel Alito Is an Attack on Dignity, Autonomy, and Progress.” Breen, who teaches Constitutional law, discussed the leak of the U.S. Supreme Court’s draft opinion in the Mississippi abortion ban case. She explained the gravity of the situation at hand, noting that this was a predicted result once the Court was stacked with Republican-appointed justices.

“Alito’s full vision for the United States has yet to be painted, but thus far it’s looking like an America in which raw judicial power… is used to foist the world views of judicially privileged interests upon the rest of us,” Breen wrote.
