They determined the previous ruling, which was actually so terrible RBG actively spoke against it and told the Dem's they needed to codify RVW, was incorrect. And they were right. There's absolutely no way judges, outside of activist judges, could have ruled RVW implementing term limitations for abortions.

And yet, during their confirmation hearings these judges were asked about RVW and they all disagreed with everything you said, calling it established precedent and settled law that has been set for 50 years. I wish at least one of the conservative judges had not lied about how they feel about precedent and RVW during their confirmation. But of course they had to lie in order to acquire the power to do what Congress is unwilling to do.
