The downside of course is, by abusing the Commerce Clause in such a left-wing big government manner, conservatives have pretty much sold out any principles they might have once had. All for the sake of a ban that won't stop a single abortion. Yippee.
The plaintiff never addressed the Commerce Clause Sandy. That makes your point moot unless you want an activist court addressing issues not before it. However, there is hope, Scalia joined homas' dissent so maybe he is rethinking Raich.
All for the sake of a ban that won't stop a single abortion.
You don't know that. In fact, you can't know that. Yes, this law only addresses one method of killing second and third trimester unborn babies but it does make one thing quite clear. Those being killed are human beings and the SCOTUS states that rather clearly.
Yippee.
One small step for mankind and all that.
“All for the sake of a ban that won’t stop a single abortion. Yippee.”
Misleading to say the least. As I said before, Kennedy clearly believes that this will discourage some women from getting late-term abortions. I think he’s right. Therefore, I believe it DOES have the effect of saving some lives.
