So let's see who at the Court refuses to take a polygraph exam

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 :).
 
The documented grounds in the draft Supreme Court decision for overturned Roe vs. Wade are the exact same grounds which would overturn interracial marriage.

The Extraordinary Hypocrisy Behind Republicans’ War on the Right to Marry
https://slate.com/news-and-politics...-these-republican-senators-dont-think-so.html


To be fair as I am digging into the decision this Court specifically separates marriage, schools and similar rights as foundational in the constitution and made a distinction about those rights being untouchable versus how abortion was established in R v. W.

I think it would be hyperbole for either side to think this decision gives them the right to bump many 14th Amendment rights back to the States.
 
Here is the clause in question I was referring to:

None ofthe other decisions cited by Roe and Casey involved the critical moral question posed by abortion. They are therefore inapposite. They do not sup- port the right toobtain anabortion, and by the same token, our conclusion that the Constitution does notconfer such a right does not undermine them in anyway.

The "other decisions" mentioned above which I did not include for brevity were the cases on the SC as follows:

inter racial marriages, 388 U.S. 1(1967); the right to marry while in prison, Turnerv. Saftey, 482 U. S. 78 (1987); the right to obtain contracep- tives, Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965), Eisen- stadt v. Baird, 405 U. S. 438 (1972), Carey v. Population Services International, 431 U. S. 678 (1977); the righttore- side with relatives, Moore v. Fast Cleveland, 431 U. S. 494 1977); the right to make decisions about the education of one's children, Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 268 U. S. 510 (1925), Meyerv. Nebraska, 262 U. S. 390 (1925); the right not to be sterilized without consent, Skinner v. Oklahoma ex rel. Williamson, 316 U. S. 535 (1942); and the right in certain circumstances not to undergo involuntary surgery, forced administration of drugs, or other substantially simi. lar procedures, Winston v. Lee, 470 U. S. 753 (1985), Wash- ington. Harper, 494 U. S. 210 (1990), Rochin.v. California, 342 U. S. 165 (1952).


So bottom line is Court is saying we are deciding abortion is not within the 14th Amendment right protected under the constitution but this has nothing to do with other rights we DID find protected and still find protected such as marriage and medical procedures that dont involve another party that is involved.

This is awesome.

Indian girl unhinged and on the warpath.

Take your meds, Pocahonky.

I hope Bret Kavanaugh is enjoying the show. The Karma car has come for the Klowns.

I guess she thinks that abortion will just be automatically totally illegal if Roe is overturned. What an idiot.
