Bye, Bye Roe V Wade

[etmo]

Setting aside emotions on either topic, the intellectual and legal rigor the Roberts court is demonstrating shames the Warren and Berger courts.

And leading the shaming is Justice Thomas. Doing away with imaginary legal BS like "substantive due process" and replacing it with the Constitution, imagine that.

For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is “demonstrably erroneous,”
Ramos v. Louisiana, we have a duty to “correct the error” established in those precedents, Gamble v. United States, After overruling these demonstrably erroneous decisions, the question would remain whether other constitutional provisions guarantee the myriad rights that our substantive due process cases have generated. For example, we could consider whether any of the rights announced in this Court’s substantive due process cases are “privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States” protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

And then the Reps to do the same when the winds favor them and etc, etc. etc, till we have SCOTUS decisions that need to be decided by 101 Justices.

Perhaps that is their plan, to make the court irrelevant, but I honestly don't think that works out in the Left's favor in the long run. I think that literally would be a death sentence for their kind. In a society without much order, the weak willed and loudest voices are usually the first to go.

Perhaps that is their plan, to make the court irrelevant, but I honestly don't think that works out in the Left's favor in the long run.

Since most of the Left's strategy involves passing legislation that violates our Constitutional protections, I'd say hamstringing the Supreme Court would very much work in their favor.

"We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives," Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the court's opinion.

Now if they would only use that same concept to overturn the many, many other federal laws that the Constitution doesn't prohibit.

If that happens, we may need to make a trip to DC

Or irony!

Sure, perhaps in a society based upon the order we have today. But, I said in a society without much order, because that is what the packing and eventual loss of SCOTUS would bring.

Court packing can be two-sided sword, because even if the Democrats did pack the court in their favor, the pendulum will at some point swing to the other side and then the other side can then pack the court in it's favor.

Maybe this will incentivize the left wing loonies to move out of Texas and into a more suitable state

Dare we should dream that could happen?

I had a couple of family members screech about this this morning. I politely but firmly told them they are no longer welcome in Texas.

So, anyone else hearing rumblings of possible expressions of displeasure over this?

Not around here I'm not. But if I had to guess, in some of the larger more liberal cities, it probably is being discussed about with much displeasure.

This is the one time I’m an optimist
