I agree Wendy.  Abortion cannot be illegal.  Roe v. Wade ensures that.

And you don't think that she'll vote for every single thing that will limit it? Effectively making it impossible?

I'm no single-issue voter, but I don't want an ideologue of any type on the Supreme Court.

At this point I would suggest all of her rulings if she truly believes she is fundamentally submissively to her husband. her fundamental belief, and she is welcome to it, appears to be a state where women, wives, are submissive to their husbands. You don't think it warrants to ask what that means for her professionally?

If impacts all of her rulings it should be easy to site just one example of what you are talking about, otherwise you are just chasing windmills.

Hi Brent,

Ever since I became a thinking man, I have said that I am not a perfect man.

It is not 'site,' it is 'cite.'  It relates to the word citation.

What evidence would you accept that shows her husband influences her decisions?

The law doesn't allow a state to deny abortions.  Every state that has tried to restrict abortions has been found unconstitutional.  

Are you joking?

If the SC simply defers to the states then how will it ensure anything?

Something like “although I agree with the plaintiff and I do believe the law is on her side I am going to have to rule against her because I must defer to my husband, who feels otherwise”

Right after the Republicans take away social security and repeal the 19th amendment.  It’s a bugaboo the Ds have been rolling out for years.  Remember this gem?

That said, the major reversals of the court have reflected changing societal morays, Plessy v Ferguson being the most obvious.  Roe v Wade, while considered wrongly decided by many constitutional scholars (including RBG), has been woven into the fabric of American society and is unlikely to be reversed.  (Nibbled around the edges perhaps, but not reversed) I would advise against buying clothes hanger stocks; the opinion of BillV and Kallend not withstanding.

If you nibble enough of the edges, there isn't much left, and we're very close to where we were in 1972.

Would you consider a mandatory $100,000 charge on every firearm sold and a $10,000 charge on each bullet sold at odds with the 2nd Amendment? All still very legal to own and carry around, just a bit more expensive. And maybe only available at 1 store per state, which cannot have more than 100 people living around it in a 500 mile radius and cannot be shipped and have to be picked up in person.

Still legal, still available. Just some zoning and taxation changes. All within the purview of municipal and state legislation.

That would be called an “infringement” and the 2nd amendment mentions, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”.  I am unaware of the amendment which states, “the right to murder your unborn child shall not be infringed”*

Then you don't understand Roe v Wade, since that specifically speaks about "undue burden".

Unless fully overturned, the cases regarding abortion will likely be all about that particular standard. Just like the above scenario would lead to a challenge around infringement.

I hope you get the point.
