GWB did 3 things right, Roberts, Tax Cuts and the war on Terror. Those are not small accomplishments by any means, but he could have done a lot better overall...

Let's not forget he "had a little help from his friends" on the SC nominations. Let's not forget his first choice was that intellectual giant, Harriet Myers.

What "help" did President Bush get on the John Roberts' nomination.

Can you refresh my memory?

Thanks.

Joe, your Post 57 and Post 61 along with BBG's Post 30 show you have a good understanding of what needs to be done.

Life at Conception Act, if passed, would define life as beginning at conception. If that happened, the Preamble, 5th, and the 14th amendments would apply to protecting the lives of the unborn. An admission made by the court in their Roe v. Wade ruling when Justice Blackmun wrote;
If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case, of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment.

Now the time to grovel before the Supreme Court is over.

Working from what the Supreme Court ruled in Roe, pro-life lawmakers can pass a Life at Conception Act and end abortion by using the Constitution instead of amending it.

A simple majority vote is all that is needed to pass a Life at Conception Act as opposed to the two-thirds required to add a Constitutional amendment.

When the Supreme Court handed down its now-infamous Roe v. Wade decision, it did so based on a new, previously undefined "right of privacy" which it "discovered" in so-called "emanations" of "penumbrae" of the Constitution.

Never once did the Supreme Court declare abortion itself to be a Constitutional right. Instead the Supreme Court said:

"We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins . . . the judiciary at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer."

37 years have passed, and man's knowledge has increased tremendously. Ultra-sounds and 3-D imaging are now common place, showing the growth and development of the unborn child. 37 years ago one could barely detect a heart beat until one was 3 or 4 months pregnant. Today one can witness the movements of a 2 month old unborn child.

The importance of this cannot be overstated.

Agreed! You have noticed the BDSers will not admit this, of course.

If Roe is overturned, each of the 50 states (or is it 57?) will make their own rules on abortion.

Which, ironically, is just what we had before Roe. Some states were liberal about allowing abortion for most any damn reason, some states were quite restrictive. It is virtually certain, however, that in most cases the situation reflected the wishes of the people of the several States more faithfully than the current wide-open holocaust, the worst in the civilized world.

Secondly, successfully placing Roberts atop the high court is beginning to look like former President George W. Bush’s most important legacy – a gift that will keep on giving for conservatives for decades.

True. Thank you, President Bush.

Of course they won't admit it. That would take the courage to admit they're wrong.

They won't even give truthful statements about who chose CJ Roberts. It's pathetic, IMO.

I truly believe that the selection of Roberts and Alito by President Bush is the thread that's holding this country together until we can get rid of these Marxists in power.

And I say again, God BLESS President Bush for choosing these two fine originalist Justices.

And this will return the abortion question back to the states.

Not necessarily ~ if decided on the basis of "equal protection" the states could all end up with the exact same law. If decided on a previously unused basis the USSC could reinstate all abortion laws retroactive to a date certain ~ and I'm sure Roberts has thought up the words to get around the presumption that we can't pass laws affecting the past.

There are dozens of possibilities that all result in the elimination of abortion. Some of those possibilities also work in the elimination of the abortionists.

“Oh yes, I think it would. 10th amendment and all that. The thing is, we’d get a real patchwork quilt of abortion laws. In New York, abortion would probably be legal into the 3rd trimester, in Virginia maybe it would be legal in cases of rape or incest. In Texas maybe it would be illegal everywhere. So then people would go across state lines and eventually the Supremos would declare it was a matter of interstate commerce and regulate it anyway. A federally protected right to abortion is a sacred cow to liberals, they will not let it go.”

Gee, that sounds similar to what prompted the 14th amendment. How can you be a person in one state and not a person in another? :D
