Stephen Breyer, a retired Supreme Court Justice, presents a compelling analysis that challenges the textualist philosophy of the current Supreme Court's supermajority and advocates for a better interpretation of the Constitution. Breyer argues that understanding the purposes of statutes and the consequences of a case is crucial for interpreting law. He examines significant cases in the nation's history, such as the Dobbs and Bruen decisions, which he believes were wrongly decided and have led to harmful results.

    The food we consume each day often seems simple — bread, cereal, snacks, and beverages that fill grocery store shelves. Yet behind these seemingly ordinary products lies a hidden world of chemicals, additives, and artificial ingredients that most consumers never notice. While food labels provide some insight, the reality is that many harmful substances are deliberately disguised with complex names or misleading descriptions. This secrecy has allowed big food companies to use potentially dangerous ingredients while marketing their products as safe, natural, or even healthy.  
  
One major reason these additives are so widespread is their role in extending shelf life, enhancing flavor, and improving texture. Preservatives, for example, allow products to last for months or even years without spoiling. While this may seem convenient, some preservatives have been linked to serious health concerns such as hormonal disruption, digestive issues, and even increased cancer risks. Similarly, flavor enhancers like monosodium glutamate (MSG) are designed to trigger cravings and increase consumption, yet they may also contribute to headaches, fatigue, and neurological problems.  
  
Artificial sweeteners, another common additive, are often marketed as healthier alternatives to sugar. However, studies suggest that these substances may interfere with metabolism, increase the risk of obesity, and disrupt gut bacteria. Even seemingly harmless color additives — used to make processed foods appear vibrant and appealing — have been linked to behavioral changes in children and allergic reactions in some adults.

    Is it possible to renew the mind? - 24 May 1967 
• When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of 
living in the complete fullness of the present. 
• Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time. That 
is, ‘I will be,’ ‘I should be.’ 
• Is it possible for the brain to be quiet, to give an interval between the old and 
the new? This interval is the timeless nature in which thought cannot possibly 
enter. 
• That which has continuity is repetitive, which is time. It’s only when time 
comes to an end there is something new taking place. 
• To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any 
problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear. 
• Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it? 
• Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you were 
talking about? 
• Q: Why don’t people get angry with what you are saying?

    On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, asserting that the Constitution did not confer the right to abortion. This ruling, in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, was the culmination of a half-century of pro-life activism promoting the idea that fetuses are people and therefore entitled to the rights and protections that the Constitution guarantees. But it was also the product of a much longer history of archaic ideas about the relationship between pregnant people and the fetuses they carry. 
 
In Policing Pregnant Bodies: From Ancient Greece to Post-Roe America, historian Kathleen M. Crowther discusses the deeply rooted medical and philosophical ideas that continue to reverberate in the politics of women’s health and reproductive autonomy. From the idea that a detectable heartbeat is a sign of moral personhood to why infant and maternal mortality rates in the United States have risen as abortion restrictions have gained strength, this is a historically informed discussion of the politics of women’s reproductive rights. 
 
Crowther explains why pro-life concern for fetuses has led not just to laws restricting or banning abortion but also to delaying or denying treatment to women for miscarriages as well as police investigations of miscarriages. She details the failure to implement policies that would actually improve the quality of infant life, such as guaranteed access to medical care, healthy food, safe housing, and paid maternity leave. We must understand the historical roots of these archaic ideas in order to critically engage with the current legal and political debates involving fetal life.
