Outspoken Harvard University Law professor Laurence Tribe on Saturday accused conservative Supreme Court justices of misleadingly quoting him to justify their decision to throw out Roe v. Wade .

Dont be fooled, warned Tribe, an expert on the Constitution. The writings from which the Court cherry-picked my quotes were totally supportive of the result in Roe, he added.

The Dobbs majority misleadingly quotes me on pages 50 and 54 in straining to justify a decision the dissent rightly calls an exercise in power, not reason. Dont be fooled. The writings from which the Court cherry-picked my quotes were totally supportive of the result in Roe.

Laurence Tribe (@tribelaw) June 25, 2022

Tribe didnt detail how his words were twisted or taken out of context by the conservatives on the Court. But he did call for the decision that affects tens of millions of women to be undone.

Three men Presidents GHW Bush (Justice Thomas), GW Bush (Justices Alito, Roberts), Trump (Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Alito) two of whom won with a minority of the popular vote have done this to tens of millions of women and to the rule of law. This must be undone.

Tribe also called out Justice Samuel Alito for not bothering to fix inaccuracies in his shoddy ruling that had been pointed out by historians in his draft of the opinion released last month .

Alito was criticized at the time for justifying his decision by repeatedly quoting someone he characterized as a great and eminent legal authority: Sir Matthew Hale.

But Hale was hardly that, historians complained. The English judge, who lived from 1609 to 1676, sentenced witches to death, and wrote an infamous treatise warning authorities to distrust women who reported being raped. He also declared that in marriage, a woman placed her body under her husbands permanent dominion, rendering any marital rape accusation illegitimate.

In addition, Alito misrepresented facts about Hales time when abortion was unregulated until a fetus quickened, or was first felt moving in the womb, which can happen as late as 25 weeks into a pregnancy , University of Minnesota Law Professor Jill Elaine Hasday noted in The Washington Post after Alitos opinion was leaked.

As for Alitos repetitive citations and gushing praise of Hale (which remained in the final decision), its long past time to leave that misogyny behind, wrote Hasday.

Tribe complained that Alito paid absolutely no heed to the criticism of Hale because he and those joining him feel untouchable and answer to no one .
