The Executive Branch needs to summarily execute the Judicial Branch. Seriously, who would complain, the Legislative Branch?

"At some point, something's got to give."

I suspect that it will happen sooner, than later.

"The court's opinion declared that it was calling "the contending sides of a national controversy to end their national division by accepting a common mandate rooted in the Constitution." Eight months later, the first abortion doctor was killed."

Yeah, the US Supreme Court also wanted people to just accept slavery after the Dred-Scott decision. Piss up a rope, you black-robed bastards.

There may be practical difficulties with the president and the states ignoring the court's abortion rulings – though there's nothing unlawful about following the Constitution and I for one would love to see it. But there is absolutely no excuse for the Massachusetts legislature jumping when Massachusetts Supreme Court Chief Justice Margaret Marshall says "jump."

Bump, Bump, Bump!!!

Granted, one can imagine how a woman married to the likes of Anthony Lewis might long for the sanctuary of a same-sex union. But that's no reason to foist it on Massachusetts.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

I suspect this could (and will) be interpreted as an endorsement of clinic violence. But I think the point is an obvious one that has escaped the PC-thinkers: When you give people no opportunit whatever to influence the political system under which they live, it is hardly surprising that some of them try to take the law into their own hands. That doesn't make their behavior right, but it certainly explains it. And it is the likely end of other forms of judicial tyranny as well.

I been sayin. The Massachusetts legislature can't be ordered to do anything by the state supreme court. Don't let the legislators off when they try to use that order as an excuse.

The only thing I would add to this cogent article is that I believe that the number of dead babies caused by Roe v. Wade has climbed from 30 million to around 42 million. And counting.

Don't let the legislators off...

My rep recommended I write to the SJC and express my displeasure. Thanks a lot, Pat! (/sarcasm off)

Everyone knew the decision in Roe v. Wade was a joke.

The decision hinged on the convenient notion of "privacy," which, oddly enough, still fails to protect my right to manufacture methamphetamine,
saw off shotgun barrels
or euthanize the elderly, privately or otherwise.
-AnnC-





Hmmm, I've always been of the opinion that it was perfectly Constitutional to make mind altering substances [like booze], for my private use.
[Granted, winemaking can be 'regulated', -- if I sell it]

The same goes for making a 'short' shotgun for home use. If it never leaves my house, what's the harm to society?

Who gave the government the power to 'regulate' the length of shotgun barrels, or make home remedies?
Naturally, "euthanizing the elderly, privately or otherwise", is murder, a criminal act. --- Just as is killing a viable baby..

-- But then Ann has never let a good line stand in her way of making what she sees as a witty point.

She is getting to be the ~joke~ , by trying to claim the government can prohibit guns, drugs, booze, or sexual privacy by simple decree.
Prohibitionism is not conservatism, Ann, -- its authoritarianism.

Ann is pointing out the the hypocripsy of the court in saying one has a right to "privacy" but only when it comes to abortion. The court believes we don't have a right to privacy when it comes to sawed-off shotguns, drugs, etc.

In no way does Ann give an opinion as to wether she believes these activities are constitutional.

You're the joke Paine. A one joke johnny who actually believes that sodomy is an inalienable right worthy of Constitutional protection but believes that the right to life is simply a tenth amendment issue.

But what's worse is the indignity you express when the same morons fudge on the second amendment. Live by judicial activism, die by judicial activism.
