OK.
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.
good point but it is 98 pages so I have to pace myself to read it haha... give me a few days
