Supreme Court Strikes Down Louisiana Abortion Restrictions

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The last week makes me believe the “Conservative” members of this court need to be taken out behind the woodshed and “reminded” who butters their bread.

Again – is this ruling not consistent with long-standing conservative political dogma: keep government small, less government is best.

Here the Court has done exactly that: it has struck down unnecessary, burdensome government regulation.

If conservatives are going to be consistent with their ‘small government’ rhetoric, they need to be consistent as to what constitutes ‘small government.’

‘Small government’ must be comprehensively applied – not concern solely the regulation of commerce, employee/consumer safety, and the environment.

You DO realize that the whole point of lifetime appointments is that the justice will not be beholden to any politician or party right? They aren't supposed to be concerned with "who butters their bread" because once seated, nobody does.

Who would that be?

Which is why I am absolutely and totally AGAINST any form of lifetime appointment for any judge. You need to be beholding to the people who put you there... or they may remove you a different way.

On Monday, the Supreme Court blocked Louisiana from enforcing a law restricting abortion in June Medical Services v. Russo.

Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana abortion restrictions in victory for women's rights

On Monday, the Supreme Court blocked Louisiana from enforcing a law restricting abortion in June Medical Services v. Russo.The law, which would have required abortion providers to obtain admitting privileges from local hospitals, could have left only one doctor legally able to provide abortions...

I can't find Kavanaugh's written dissenting opinion yet. Do you know where that will be?

He dropped his notes behind the Pony Keg he has in his office.

Roberts obviously knows what un-constitutional is and means.

He also knows what stare decisis means.

So plessey should never been overturned?

No, Plessy should never have been written.

But it was, and if Stare decisis is as in voidable as some people claim, it should have never been overturned.

Of course it's not inviolable. However, you need a good reason to revisit a ruling. What would precipitate changing that Texas ruling?

What has had me worried is the seeming desire of the newest Justices, to blithely overturn precedent. Ought to worry tbe rabid right too, because in decade it could be a more liberal overturning 2A precedent.

It’s not about more or less Government. It’s about PROPERLY FOCUSED Government. Government that knows it’s limits and focuses on the things it should be doing while leaving everything else alone.

 

[Anathema]

Who would that be?

In this case it’s the people who appointed them.

Government should be protecting innocent human life

Oh look....another RWNJ deceptive quote.

Did Ruth Bader Ginsburg Cite 'Population Growth' Concerns When Roe v. Wade Was Decided?

The Supreme Court justice's remarks in a 2009 interview have led to accusations that the Supreme Court justice was a proponent of eugenics.

www.snopes.com

What's True
Ginsburg once said she believed that others' concerns about overpopulation might have influenced the high court's decision in Roe v. Wade.
What's False
Ginsburg did not say she personally supported Roe v. Wade because it could help limit the population growth of "undesirable" communities.

No one butters their bread anymore.... They are appointed for life....for a reason.

Then it should abolish the death penalty.

Most of them say that when they are nominated they respect precedents.

I agree, but only INNOCENT life. Which means anyone above 2 years old is not included in that protection.

Look.

We execute murderers


are unborn children guilty of a capital offense?

Their position IS the butter.

Which is the problem I have with many who claim to be pro-life, being pro-life myself.

It’s this wrongheaded opinion that illustrates the wisdom of lifetime appointments for jurists.
