Could Chief Justice Roberts Save Roe v. Wade?

[jwoodie]

In any SCOTUS decision where the Chief Justice is with the majority, he gets to decide who writes the opinion. For example, in 2012 CJ Roberts sided with the liberal justices upholding Obamacare, in exchange for writing the opinion that also limited future extension of federal power under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Might he do it again? Justice Alioto's leaked opinion is just his own draft. It will take a majority of justices to overturn Roe v. Wade, and CJ Roberts would be entitled to write the Court's decision if he votes with them. This could conceivably result in vague language being added which could subsequently undermine the decision in the future.

The conservative justices need to keep a close eye on their Chief Justice. He seems to be more of a wheeler-dealer that a strict adherent to the Constitution.

I don’t see it happening

Conservatives have worked too hard for this

CJ Robert’s is already in the “no” column. He can’t forge a majority it seems. Unless one of the more conservative Justices acts like Roberts and folds for non judicial reasons, CJ Roberts is shit out of luck. Fuck him.

Could Chief Justice Roberts Save Roe v. Wade?​

Save it from what, democracy at the state level?

 

[Ringtone]

Roberts will not write the opinion.

Obamacare was about medical help. The right to life is about the Constitution's clause that entitles us to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Abortion takes all of that a way and is a springboard for eliminating the Liberty the Constitution gives the American people.

Abortion is against the Constitution by that clause of each of us human beings having a right to life. If that child has an American citizen for a parent, if that child is born on American soil including an American Embassy, it is an American citizen protected under the auspices of the Constitution. And that's what I believe. Science teaches us that a 2-cell zygote is in the first stage of human development, even though we cannot even see it. One of or both parents are Americans, it has the right from a scientific standpoint of when life begins, to have those Constitutional protections the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for all human beings, and that's how the founders understood it too. No exceptions.

Thank you. My apologies to the Declaration of Independence being the reason we escaped from being a Monarch's thumb, like the one the Democrat Party has already made plans for by system of Oligarch rule, which means rule by the few. Unfortunately each one of the "few" like Nancy Pelosi requires a crown of more power than the British Monarch this country broke away from, the one who didn't want anyone from over here asking for favors over there. We didn't elect Nancy Pelosi to be the President, and now she has far more power than President Biden has.

Nancy Pelosi has to run for re-election every two years unlike the Queen who has power by birthright

You really need to do a better job reading the Constitution.

 

[dblack]

Save it from what, democracy at the state level?

Indeed. Democracy at the state level can be just as dangerous as democracy at the federal level.

The Constitution was written by people who loved this country so much they settled their differences amicably.

Nancy Pelosi hates 3/4ths of the American people because her lies cannot manipulate them. AND we don't like her asinine shit like banging the treasury for gold pens to reward her friends and people who are scared out of their minds to her Mafia ways they're in her pocket. IOW, Nancy Pelosi doesn't deal from the top of the deck, never has. And you'd know it too if you weren't such a damn quitter.

You are not only showing your ignorance but your partisan hate

Wrong.

That is wrong.
A zygote is "single cell".

{...
The main difference between Zygote and Embryo is that Zygote is unicellular, whereas Embryo is multi-cellular. Both of them are distinct stages that are a part of human development. The zygotic stage is followed by the embryonic stage.

An ovum only has half of the necessary DNA, but occasionally the DNA in an ovum will duplicate and product an embryo asexually. That is how all organisms reproduced at one time, so that option is always possible.

What?
The people who wrote the Constitution "settled their differences" by violent, armed, rebellion.
So I have no idea what you are referring to?

But it is true that the Founders were totally fine with abortion not being at all restricted in any way.

{...

• Before 1840, abortion was widespread and largely-stigma-free for American women.
• The first anti-abortion advocates in the United States were male physicians who sought to make abortion illegal to push out competition from midwives and female healers.
• The idea that fetuses have rights and those rights trump those of living women and girls is a relatively new concept, historians say.

An ovum is one cell. a sperm is a second cell.The two cells blend together to become a zygote. I rest my case.

The Constitution guarantees us "free and fair elections".
