"The paragraph that says “Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion" is a brazen, flagrant, intentional lie." - It's political cover. And also cover to pick and choose which unenumerated to keep vs toss.

I couldn't help but notice the parallel to Bush v Gore. Same concept. SCOTUS wants to control how they open the flood gates.

Yes, that's the first thing that came to mind when I read it. What a crock! Trust me, this will never happen.

As a manager in a unionized labor environment, whenever in a grievance the parties came to a stipulated resolution, both sides always agreed to a clause that stated something like "this ruling shall not be construed as binding or precedent in future grievances" -- and of course it always was. I think we always put it in there just because it was ridiculous and everyone knew it would be ignored, and everyone needs a good laugh at the end of a grievance arbitration.
