Anyone can petition the SC on any case and for any reason.

I’m looking for the WSJ section with the article, but it might be in the bathroom with one of my sons.

The democrats realize that their people aren’t going to come out to vote if they don’t create a frenzy. Whip, whip and whip to get them back on the plantation. The party of the Klan is desperate.

This is a different filing involving some (Democrat) states and the (Democrat-majority) Congress. In this case, the House of Representatives passed something. It looks like this is more common than I realized, although I still think it’s anti-republican, in the philosophical sense, for elected officials (state or Federal) to have to go begging to the black-robed demigods.

“A good start would be to defund Planned Abortionhood.”

Congress neglects to do what is certainly in their power to do.

But then postures on this issue, which they don’t have ANY influence over.

Just to keep you voting for them.

Roe vs Wade must be overturned. It violates the 10th and 11th Amendments to the Constitution. Read below:

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.

At this point, what difference does it make. The baby wasn’t aborted and is now in middle age. The court can’t rule except on an actual case, not in advisory capacity. So until there’s a state law outlawing abortion that the SCOTUS can review, with a plaintiff who has standing to contest the constitutionality of the law as it pertains to her, i.e., that she’s preggers and lives in that state, and wants to abort, this is just plain posturing.

That law is not going to pass the House of Representatives.

Likely not now. But you take a stand and defend it. And you don’t limit yourself to one action.

To do nothing is the same as accepting & approving.
