The rule ...<i>you have to respect the courts decision</i><br /><br />The rule of law depends on most of the people agreeing to follow it. The US is at the point again of large numbers of people unwilling to follow the law. This sunk Prohibition and the "war on drugs," for example.<br /><br />The US is at the point of being divided almost equally on major issues, which means that up to 50% of the population doesn't agree to follow laws that are regarded as illegitimate. This issue of legitimacy also applies for some to the sitting government itself and the president in particular.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-46698827960802390722021-12-12T12:22:08.211-05:002021-12-12T12:22:08.211-05:00So abolitionists went out and got the 13th amendme...<i>So abolitionists went out and got the 13th amendment passed</i><br /><br />Well, you left out a rather important condition — the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation. <br /><br />The 13th Amendment was passed on January 31, 1865 and ratified on December 6, 1865, at the beginning of Reconstruction (1865-1877). Women did not get the vote until the ratification of the 19th Amendment on August 26, 1920.<br /><br />Now people are talking seriously about Civil War 2.0 and the spilt of the US. It doesn't really matter which way SCOTUS goes on this, since the divisiveness involved is not limited to a single issue. Abortion is not the driving force, which is broader. It encompasses many issues in conflicting world views with different value systems, paralyzing the US politically.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-11866372487043610892021-12-12T12:03:31.987-05:002021-12-12T12:03:31.987-05:00iirc in the US human chattel slavery was once deem...iirc in the US human chattel slavery was once deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court….<br /><br />So abolitionists went out and got the 13th amendment passed to put you Art degree Darwin lovers back in your place…<br /><br />https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/amendment/amendment-xiii<br /><br />Just go do the same thing for your abortion thing … no one is stopping you…Matt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-44139205961602827582021-12-12T11:58:53.344-05:002021-12-12T11:58:53.344-05:00Just go get a constitutional amendment guaranteein...Just go get a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the specific right for abortion then all this goes away…<br /><br />Short of that it’s up to the courts to interpret constitutionality… and you have to respect the courts decision…<br /><br />Matt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-76677508042276262982021-12-12T09:29:59.433-05:002021-12-12T09:29:59.433-05:00Sorry.Sorry.Jerry Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571572049627552805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-67439527192639140102021-12-11T22:25:59.392-05:002021-12-11T22:25:59.392-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jerry Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571572049627552805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-20231613753243285522021-12-11T08:56:41.413-05:002021-12-11T08:56:41.413-05:00LOL they are arguing in THE SAME COURT…

My understanding is that the court when FDR was President was quite conservative. And I really don't think anyone with any credibility (even right wingers) would argue against the Brown vs Board of education or whatever that is called anymore.<br /><br />It has been clear for a long time that the Supreme Court has been a political and partisan institution. It is not a good thing but that is reality. It is interesting that Roberts does attempt to be a moderating influence. Unfortunately, that isn't going to work very often any more with the current makeup of the court.<br /><br />For some reason, I do feel I owe the guy something for not striking down Obamacare for some legal mumbo-jumbo reasons. Access to that probably helped save my life. Stupid such a decision by one man could have had that effect. But now it won't.<br /><br />Jerry Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571572049627552805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-60532933409342688432021-12-10T21:25:03.238-05:002021-12-10T21:25:03.238-05:00The Supremes are a collection of political appoint...The Supremes are a collection of political appointments.Peter Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473311771939167712noreply@blogger.com
