 Why? The case sparked fiery disagreements among the justices who wanted to decide this case. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson writing, This court had a chance to bring clarity and certainty to this tragic situation, and we have squandered it. While Justice Samuel Alito, the author of the decision to overturn Roe, almost taunting his colleagues for ducking the issue this time. Apparently, the court has simply lost the will to decide the easy but emotional and highly politicized question that the case presents. That is regrettable.
