Yup, court-made “law” is right up there with “executive order” law. Neither are really “law” at all, and are always subject to change by the following court or administration. Real laws are passed by the Congress and signed by the President, and no law can violate the Constitution.
There is no wording in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights having to do with abortion. (See Amendment 10 below). At the time when Roe vs. Wade was enacted, 48 States had restrictions on abortion. One State had partial restrictions and one State had free access to abortion.
10th AMENDMENT
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
11TH AMENDMENT
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
They cant ask them to say they will vote a certain way on anything. This is unethical to make up your mind on something before its a case. Especially one that will likely come up before the court.
To wit, they made this very same objection when repubs have asked liberal appointees for a promise on an issue.
This would amount to a judge pre-judging a case. The dems would demand that judge recuse themselves because they already had made up their mond before the case ever was argued before them.
BOOKMARKED!
Wenow Kavanaugh is pro-life and we also know that there is nothing in the constitution that mentions abortion. But everyone also knows that his pro-life beliefs are the main force driving the Left's rabid opposition to him...seems odd that one on "our side" would stir them embers on purpose.
The World according to Garp.
The Constitution according to Harris and Feinstein.
Not much difference.
After all its a living breathing document subject to change whenever I want to rub my crotch penumbra./S
The left loses an election, loses the Supreme Court legislature,loses on the economy, loses on Foreign Affairs, wants to get rid of federal Law Enforcement, open the borders for free access,wants one set of laws for leftists and another for Republicans,and its time to amend the Constitution? The left wants to change The Constitution to The Restitution.
Eff them every single one!
PDJT needs to keep beating them like a drum! Mr. President, take them to the wood shed!
Even libtards admit there is no “specific” right to abortion. Instead they somehow apply an already contrived “right to privacy” to abortion.
The Burger court & Warren court went with that "precedent" and used the "right to privacy" standard in Griswold v. Connecticut extended to all sorts of other "rights" over the years, including the "right" to abort babies.
But you know, Kennedy said communism was bad, so anything else he did doesn't matter.
No we don't know that. Any more that we "knew" Roberts would overturn Obamacare. We HOPED he would. Nobody knows WHAT Kavanaugh's actual views on abortion are, and he refuses to disclose that information. His fans assume since he claims to be "originalist", that magically means he will vote the right way on this issue, regardless of whether he actually believes abortion is wrong or not.
For the record: If I was a Senator, I would give him the benefit of the doubt, and vote to confirm Kavanaugh (on the other hand, I was absolutely against Gorsuch, do not believe he would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, and I stand by that)
