So I've been thoroughly enjoying the Total Meltdown amongst the Left. I have some college pals who are Northeastern liberals and they're going totally apesh*t about Brett Kavanaugh having been confirmed as SCOTUS Associate Justice.
One of them (who is a total blowhard yet I'm friends with him because we have like 50 mutual friends and have known each other since 1985) asks the following question: "Serious question for my RW friends: What are your top 3 cases you’d like to see the court hear and what result are you hoping for? Adult-type responses only....all others will be deleted."
I have not answered because I'm afraid that he'll hate my adult-type responses and they'll just make way too much sense. In true FR Fashion, I'd like your input to make this as fun and hilarious as possible. He's an a**.
Thanks!
A national voter biometric registry linked with state death notices. Would also like to see a way to track and punish duplicate voting in separate districts vacation homes and college addresses).
Many appropriate, humerous replies above.
But, in the spirit of the original posting:
1. Either Roe v Wade is correct (a person has an absolute right to privacy from the state/federal interference with his medical care), OR ObamaCare is correct (the federal government has COMPLETE control over ALL medical services for ALL people in the country.)
2. Kelo decision.
3. The local judges/local cities/local states overruling federal control of immigration laws: sanctuary city laws, ICE arrests, prosecution, border security and citizenship.
4. Finding of “carbon dioxide” as a pollutant
My relatives are thinking about moving. They live in a ritzy burb of Philly and have had ENOUGH of the politics being shoved down their necks by ‘friends’ and neighbors.
Best post.
Getting rid of 11934 and 1968 gun control acts with an absolute right to carry enshrined everywhere that is not private property.
Kelo vs New London overturned
I just want cases, all cases, to be decided based strongly within the Constitution. If they are, I can accept anything they decide.
I wouldn’t play his game. He is baiting you so that he can attempt to belittle or embarrass you, or worse.
“Overturn the Kelo decision.”
Reform asset forfeiture
Reform drug policy.
The police have too much power. I am tired of living in a police state.
the DEA, the ATF, the FDA and the IRS all need to go.
The way the loonies were attacking Brett they would have us believe that he and he alone was running the court.
“I would say Birthright Citizenship needs to come up at some point.”
That was my #4
That isn’t a judicial question.
But there are many more that deserved to be overturned or modified. Wong Kim Ark gave us "Anchor babies."
Obergefell v. Hodges needs to go. It is utter crap.
Lawrence v. Texas is also crap.
"Obamacare" (Virginia v. Sebelius)
I’ll second the birth right case. Trump could order the state dept to stop
Issuing passports to children born in the US of noncitizen parents with no legal green card or working visa.
There’s a case working its way up through the federal courts where the court ruled against the law preventing certain criminals convicted of misdemeanors from owning a firearm. A good opportunity for the court to uphold the 2nd Amendment.
1) Overturn Roe v Wade (and Doe v Bolton, and PP v Casey, etc)
2) Uphold the Second Amendment as an inviolable right to own arms; declare all forms of arms bans, arms registration, arms licensing as unconstitutional.
3) Define once and for all WTF “Natural Born Citizen” means in AMERICAN Constitutional law.
SCOTUS can't touch that. The Constitution, by definition, is Constitutional.
Passing Amendments is the purview of the Congress, the State Legislatures, and a Convention of States.
I would love to see SCOTUS rule that “natural born citizen” means a child of two citizen parents and that both the Federal Executive Branch and each state’s Secretary of State has an obligation to investigate and validate the credentials of all Candidates for President before they are put on the ballot.
That isn’t the first time the Court ruled on the constitutionality of a federal law contrary to popular opinion.
That would be Hylton v United States.
