I predict that from now on every president will face an impeachment attempt.
Or multiple deserved or not.
Ok let me amend my prediction: at least one impeachment attempt.
I hate that impeachment is a ‘political’ process. It’s a big political tool that takes congress away from doing its job.,
It’s not like they were doing their jobs before. How many post offices did they rename? It’s not a small amount.
Congress hasn’t done its job for years. I find it funny how many people whine over Roe without every reading the court case or really understanding why the courts overturned it. I am pro-choice but once you read it, it makes sense that the court overturned it.
Yet people have become so partisan, they are incapable of seeing it was the right choice. The real answer is congress needs to do something.
No, they shouldn’t have overturned it.
Roe v. Wade basically argued that women had a right to abortion through a right to personal privacy.
The majority opinion, written by Alito, argued that the right to abortion was not guaranteed through personal privacy. Why? Because of the dumbest possible method of interpreting the Constitution, originalism
We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Con- stitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, in- cluding the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely—the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That provision has been held to guarantee some rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution, but any such right must be “deeply rooted in this Nation’s his- tory and tradition” and “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.”
On the other hand, I’m really enjoying hearing about how KBJ is challenging this foolish nonsense. Clarence and Alito specifically need to explain why an original interpretation of the Constitution matters when it comes to modern matters.

You don’t see why it’s important to not just brazenly pretend our laws have different meanings out of nowhere?

And that is a false premise as explained in the decision. Even RGB said it was false.

She is right. It should have worked through the states and lower courts.
