"We the People..."

Those are the FIRST words of the US Constitution. May we hope that the high tide of fascism we are witnessing now will result in the bugle call to return to FIRST principles.
 
It’s amazing with the Dems control of the presidency and Congress that democracy is still on the brink

almost as if the “saving democracy “ crowd aren’t actually serious people
 
The Senate will go Republican also....and Nancy Pelosi can home to Napa...

21 Republican Senate seats are in contest this year, 14 Democrat seats. In order for the Senate to flip, Republicans will have to win all 21 of their contests and flip 1 Democrat seat (or other combinations that result in the same thing, such as they can afford to lose 1 as long as they flip 2).

" We The People "

Mr Adam " Espola " Schiff:
Let the TRUE meaning of that sink into your addled brain at least once.
You fascist supporting hypocritical liar.
Your Pedo " Resident " is screaming at windmills at this very moment.
 
Have the states bring legislation then

are the lawmakers afraid to put their name on abortion legislation. . Is it because maybe the loudest voices are just a tad too extreme on abortion?

I mean doesn’t this ruling give more authority to the legislators , yet they seem really upset
Roe v Wade has been divisive since its inception. Quite a few legal minds that support pro choice think RvW was a poor decision.


The people never got to decide on the issue...and both parties have been playing kick ball with it for 50 yrs.

Now finally the states and/or congress can make legislation related to abortion.
 
Justice Ginsburg thought Roe was the wrong case to settle abortion issue
“Doctrinal limbs too swiftly shaped, experience teaches, may prove unstable. The most prominent example in recent decades is Roe v. Wade,” Ginsburg said at a New York University Law School lecture.

“A less-encompassing Roe, one that merely struck down the extreme Texas law and went no further on that day … might have served to reduce rather than to fuel controversy,” she added.

She added, “Roe v. Wade, in contrast, invited no dialogue with legislators. Instead, it seemed entirely to remove the ball from the legislators’ court. In 1973, when Roe v. Wade was issued, abortion law was in a state of change across the nation. As the Supreme Court itself noted, there was a marked trend in state legislatures ‘toward liberalization of abortion statutes.’ ”

Ironically, conservative columnist George F. Will has made a similar argument. In a 2003 column, he wrote that the Supreme Court had tried to end the debate about abortion with its decision in Roe.

“Instead, it inflamed the issue and embittered our politics — because the court, by judicial fiat, abruptly ended what had been a democratic process of accommodation and compromise on abortion policy,” he wrote.
“Before the court suddenly discovered in the Constitution a virtually unlimited right to abortion, many state legislatures were doing what legislatures are supposed to do in a democracy: They were debating and revising laws to reflect changing community thinking.”
