This sounds great and all, but lets be clear.  You want GOP congresses and GOP Presidents to be able to change laws.  You do not want Dem congresses and Dem Presidents to be able to pass laws, and when they do you have no issue with the SC overturning those laws on whatever flimsy grounds they can muster.  I know you won’t do it, but it would be really refreshing if you  could just be honest about it.

If you’re a Christian it’s your obligation because Christ told you it was. 

 

“Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’t help you?’

“Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did not do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it to me.’ 

 

On my 3rd year OB rotation we took labor and delivery call at parkland, at the time the highest volume L&D in the country. Youngest we had come in during my 8 weeks of call was 12. She got pregnant when she was 11. Her uncle raped her (probably more than once but at least once). She never told anyone but it became obvious when she started showing. Oh and this was mid 90s and uncle had AIDS. Tom Hanks in Philadelphia AIDS not the Magic Johnson kind. Little girl and her baby were HIV+. She wound up having a C section for failure to progress. Otherwise the baby —and maybe she— would have died. You will never convince me a person in her situation should be forced to carry a child to term. It just adds tragedy to tragedy  

Thats an extreme example but every unwanted pregnancy has a backstory. And carrying the child to term may result in more tragedy or unbelievable blessings (or both). But ultimately only one person has to risk her health, wellbeing, and maybe life to find out how it turns out. She should be the one making the choice not the government. And I say this as someone who likely would have been aborted had I been conceived after roe v wade 
 

If you believe in God you should trust Him to handle it this issue. You can busy yourself trying to make sure the poor have food, shelter and clothing, and work on leading them to Christ if that is one of your talents.

@sawbonz

I love it when people tell me what Christ would compel me to do.

I also don't believe in the "make life better through eugenics" line of thought.  It's freaking horrific, as is abortion.

The child doesn't know the circumstances of its conception.  That's why i don't believe in abortion as a solution to rape.  If there is a choice to be made between the mother's life and that of the child, that is when abortion is a viable option, IMHO.

 

All of that being said, we're never going to agree on abortion.  I have been open about saying Roe V Wade should not be pursued as some "threat to society."  It's a waste of fucking time. I firmly believe in raising children who would never have an abortion, except to save a life. 

  Changing the law isn't going to stop abortion, either. The topic is extremely divisive in a discussion that is far, far more reaching than just the right to choice or right to life.  I certainly do not think Roe V Wade ever gets taken down. The topic is just a wedge driver.   I hate the tactic( not pointed at you,) but rather the thread.

I’m a little confused. You seem to be using your religious beliefs to justify your opposition to abortion yet you feel no obligation based on your religious beliefs to care for poor children and single mothers? 
 

also wrt your personal views on when abortion is acceptable do you want the law to be in line with those views?

Why?

Setting aside her religious inclinations, an academic who maintains that a decision is wrong because it is not originalist is really way too doctrinaire to serve on the Supreme Court.

Anyone with a lick of honesty and practicality is going to admit that no constitutional interpretive philosophy is correct every time.  Because there are many occasions where it just doesn't apply or doesn't supply any framework for decision.

I think even Antonin Scalia would concede that originalism is his preferred approach and is a better approach than others in most cases, but would not say that any decision that applied something other than an originalist interpretation is flat wrong as a result.  Or that a correct result could not be obtained through another interpretive device.

It's like trying to say one single theory explains gravity or light for all cases.  It's crazy.

It also kind of sounds like she's trying to discern the will of God or some other "absolute" rectitude.  That's nuts.

The net result is good, but it can be stated a lot more simply:  settled law is settled law and stare decisis demands that we not overturn it without compelling reason and not just because we have the votes to do it.

Some of the thoughts underlying that strike me as a bit nutty and certainly uselessly academic.  But, I am going off very little information.

I really think she's un- or insufficiently qualified.  Too much academia, too little real world.  That's an objection I have to many of them, but they tend to have more real-world (even if the real-world is governmental) experience.

Uh, I’m gonna go with a resounding YES for question number three. 

[TwiceHorn 32079]

Some settled law deserves(d) to be overturned.  Plessy v. Ferguson (which was),  Dred Scott (which was by the 14th Amendment, but should have been anyway); Korematsu (which hasn't been but is largely irrelevant), and probably Buck v. Bell (also mostly irrelevant), I'm sure there are other examples.

Watching "On The Basis of Sex," which I think is a pretty good movie, but maybe it's because I'm a law geek, there is a quotation attributed to Paul Freund (a top con law scholar in the 40s, 50s):

The Court “should never be influenced by the weather of the day but inevitably they will be influenced by the climate of the era.”

It's actually stated in a lecture for Marty Ginsburg that Ruth was attending on his behalf while he was recovering from cancer surgery or chemo or something.

It's not referred to again in the movie (that I noticed), but was a guiding principle for RBG.  I thought that was pretty good.

Some academics, and perhaps the entire originalist "sect" think that neither the weather nor the climate is applicable to the Court, that it applies some immutable principles to the issues it addresses.  Others, particularly of the more liberal bent, seem to think the Court should respond to the "daily forecast."

Anyone with a more realistic or practical bent probably has to agree with Freund's statement.

Korematsu was recently “overturned.” I use quotation marks there because the decision purporting to overturn it, Trump v. Hawaii, actually substantively ratified it while pretending otherwise.

[bad_teammate 13523]

RBG and Obama both failed in their own ways to protect Roe. The GOP is evil, but that's not new. When an evil person beats you because you like to pretend they aren't evil so you can feel holy then you're a bad leader and shouldn't be trusted.

The Dems got owned. Trump gets a third SC judge in his 4-year term.

I am sure someone smarter will explain this better but my understanding is the GOPs argument is the law was passed under Congresses authority to tax (the penalty for not having insurance being a tax).  Then the GOP came along and reduced the penalty to $0.   Now they say since the penalty is $0, there is no tax and therefore the entire law is unconstitutional 

[zork 629]

Quote

Like many other liberals, I’m devastated by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, which opened the way for President Donald Trump to nominate a third Supreme Court justice in his first term. And I’m revolted by the hypocrisy of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s willingness to confirm Trump’s nominee after refusing to even allow a vote on Judge Merrick Garland.

 

 

Yet these political judgments need to be distinguished from a separate question: what to think about Judge Amy Coney Barrett, whom Trump has told associates he plans to nominate. And here I want to be extremely clear. Regardless of what you or I may think of the circumstances of this nomination, Barrett is highly qualified to serve on the Supreme Court.

The technical word for the arguments at the heart of their recent assault on the ACA is “bullshit.” Nobody took it seriously when it was filed. Even conservative and libertarian legal commentators thought it was essentially frivolous. Of course, the last challenge to the ACA was frivolous bullshit too.
