Thomas urges Supreme Court to reverse 'demonstrably erroneous decisions'

The Hill ^ | 06/17/19 | Jacqueline Thomsen

On Roe V Wade... So we conservatives are clear, we need to have the argument right.

There is no “overturning” Roe V Wade. The case made a state law banning abortion “unconstitutional” on the grounds of “privacy”. Things not in the constitution; 1) Abortion 2) Privacy 3) health care 4) contraceptives. It was a bad ruling because the SCOTUS had no legitimate basis or grounds to rule. They should have thrown out the privacy issue and ruled, there being no federal statute, or specific language in the constitution, the states reserve the rights to their own laws.

In short, if the SCOTUS hears a case and broadly states that each state may govern itself in the matter of abortion, it would be the same as if Roe V Wade were rejected from a hearing in the SCOTUS. THAT is what dems fear.

The SCOTUS is not going to rule that abortion should be illegal or disallowed, EVER.

And where do you think those “public tax dollars” will come from?

Let's see, would you rather owe a million dollars or would you rather belong to a million man group that owes a million dollars. I know decisions are sometimes hard but pick one anyway,

Justice Thomas is a hero. God bless him.

Thomas is terrific.

HERE, HERE!

HEAR, HEAR.....

To me even allowing multiple jurisdictions to legislate on the same topic is legislative double jeopardy. If a given matter (murder, rape, mugging, etc) is properly a state matter, then there should be no federal laws on it. None. And if a given matter is appropriate for federal control, there should likewise be no state laws.

But, on correcting stare decisis, I'm with him 100%.

Wickard, Kelo, Raich, so many more.

I often thought Sarah Palin could have answered that [admittedly ambush] question about SCOTUS rulings a lot better.

What is wrong with that one? The access mandates it forces on stores?

If you have to ask, you cannot understand.

Ever notice how the first 50 parking spaces at Lowes are vacant other than 2 or 3 vehicles? Truly disabled people don’t do a lot of home improvement, but government knows best, as always.

[Beagle8U]

At Menards all the handicap parking is next to one front door, but you can ONLY exit the store after shopping at the other end of the store 1/4 mile away!

[subterfuge]

Wow! By the time you get to your car you might just BE handicapped!

[Beagle8U]

I am handicapped and have to limp 1/4 mile to my car every time I go there.

Roberts is a liberal and Roe v. Wade is safe as long as Jesuit-educated Kavanaugh remains on the court.

[Lurker]

“Obergefell and Roe need to be overturned.”

So does Wickard.
