So Justice Kagan is reported in Molly Hemingway's new book on Justice Alito as having urged liberal members of the Court to slow-walk their dissents in the Dobbs case for months after Justice Alito had finished his majority decision, presumably with the "hope" that the composition of the Court would change and the 5-4 outcome striking down Roe would turn into a 4-4 deadlock that left the lower court's decision in place - affirming Roe. NOW, it is clear that it was Justice Kagan -- and not Justices Jackson and Sotomayor -- who has held up her dissent in the Louisiana redistricting case, as she has written the only dissent -- with the whispered-about motivation being to push the decision back far enough into the calendar back such that some states don't have time to engage in redistricting before the Nov. elections -- redistricting that might eliminate minority-majority districts and cost Democrats seats. If both these two anecdotal accounts about Kagan gain traction, it will forever stain her legacy on SCOTUS.
