When is the draft memo on segregation going to be released?
My point is the decision has a detailed carve out as to why abortion and the associated right to privacy is not part of the Constitution and therefore being bumped back to the States. If they are not careful they set a bad precedent where many other rights can be bounced out of the constitution to the states if the test/criteria are not robust enough or the judges went decision first/justification second.
YesOK.
Since you are ahead of me in reading the draft that was leaked, what does it say or seem to say in regard to Congress having a role in deciding abortion rights or legislated rights? I saw Alito saying it was for "the people's representatives" to decide but did not necessarily assume he was referring to Congress- but that he was referring to it just passing to the states for the "people's representatives" to decide there.
At the same time, just as I said earlier in the day, I see all of the BigWig Dems and the Dem leadership and the Dem President saying they are going to fix this in Congress and that it will be a major issue for the Congressional elections. Except, I have not seen- yet- that the Court has affirmed and jurisdiction for Congress on this issue.
Was that addressed anywhere in the draft? I mean - as you know- affirming that something is a state right to determine is not affirming the right of Congress or the feds.
To put it another way, what say does my congressional rep have in regard to abortion rights in my state and by what authority- if this draft becomes final.
Now its interracial marriage. That draft must have been leaked, too. Well, if its one thing you can say about Democrats - when they lie, they go big.
