    Not really. The TX constitution lacks the necessary and proper clause, severely restricting .gov power, and then provides am easy way to amend it by popular vote. Different philosophies at different times for different reasons.
    Yes, really. The constitution does not give the state the power to make most of the laws it wants to. Making them would be making "unconstitutional" laws. So even the silliest things need to be amendments to have legal force. Amendments that make it to the ballot still need 2/3 approval of both state houses. That's lot more than a law would require.

    It seemed to me with Ruth what you saw is what you got.

    As long as what you saw was her two-faced approach to being a Justice.

    RBG was interested in furthering her leftist view of the world. Sure, if it was civil procedure, she performed her job as a Justice correctly (and quite well, imo), but on social issues she could not care less what the Constitution said. Sotomayor is the same creature, so are Kagan and Breyer.

    This is why the Court so often sees agreement between all the Justices -- many cases are, e.g., tax law. Everybody does their job when it's tax law, or tort law or civil procedure in general, and those are many of the cases the Court will hear.

    But when it's a social issue? Forget about it. Only the few originalists actually do their job, the rest, like RBG, are legislating from the bench as hard as they can.

    And, yet, many believe that once she is pregnant, the woman has already made several very key decisions.
    Decisions that do not lead to up to a "choice", whether by government or individual.
    Ya, you wanna control your body do so before opening your legs.

    Same goes for the man. Birth control is free or damn near. Less than a pack of ciggs or bottle of liquor so there is absolutely no excuse to get pregnant. Or not to pay child support.

    I also believe that just as the guy has no say so after the fact that neither does the woman. You dont have to keep it after its born but you absolutely cant kill it just because. Consider it a lifes lesson if you must.

    I also have no problem with the government paying for health care till birth in these instances.

    Exceptions for health issues.

    ABORTION IS AMERICA'S HOLOCAUST AND RACISM INCARNATE PUSHED BY THE PARTY OF THE KLAN.

    Prove me wrong.

    No, not really. The 2019 legislature passed 820 bills for Abbot to sign, of which only 58 were vetoed. They sent 10 amendments to the ballot. That’s ~75:1 law v amendments.

    Administrative and enabling legislation makes up a majority of those laws. It really does take a mountain of paper just to run .gov because of how the constitution was designed.

    Hell, the Sunset Act constitutionally requires laws to be passed to keep or drop state agencies and activities.

    I asked nicely but this thread is done.

    I strongly encourage those of you who have posted informative, insightful stuff (and there have been many great posts) concerning the future of the highest court in the land to re-post those thoughts, memes, clips, and your evolving opinions in a new thread created for that purpose entitled "The Supreme Court - What's Next?".

    Those of you who can't stop talking about abortion are encouraged to start your own thread.
