Sleeping giant awakens. Terrible resolve coming. Opus Dei my ass.

I hope this does to the country what Prop 187 did to California. Within 15 years no Republican could get elected to any statewide office.

But what shocks me most is the fact that, according to surveys that keep surfacing and being reported, a substantial majority of Americans support abortion rights and oppose the outright ban. According to the latest Gallup poll, 85% of the population believes that abortion should be legal under some circumstances. What’s noteworthy is not that high number so much as the discrepancy between that figure and the substance of supreme court ruling. What’s shocking is yet another fact that we have known or suspected for some time: that we are living under minority rule, that, in some of the most essential ways, the wishes of the majority no longer determine government policy, and that it has become a kind of joke to suggest that our government, at the highest level, is responding to “the will of the people”.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., criticized the Supreme Court's ruling Friday to eliminate the constitutional right to an abortion, after they voted to confirm Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, two key votes in the decision to overturn a half-century-old precedent.

“This decision is inconsistent with what Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh said in their testimony and their meetings with me, where they both were insistent on the importance of supporting long-standing precedents that the country has relied upon," Collins said in a statement.

Gee, if only you had listened to the millions of people who told you that they were obviously lying.

i wonder where jurisdiction would fall if, say, planned parenthood started operating sky abortion clinics in states where it is excessively restricted or banned

airspace, as far as i can tell, isn’t owned by states but by the feds

Also, the ruling they just handed down in West Virginia v. EPA, basically saying the Environmental Protection Agency isn't allowed to protect the environment, woof

Oh really?

I thought I pretty clearly stated that I am AGAINST judicial activism.

Sometimes you just try too hard. You're not nearly as good at this as some of the others.

[KUTradition]

oh, you did

That's not quite exactly what they said, but carry on.

[Deleted User 863]

Literally...

I don't agree with judicial activism, regardless of outcome.
