Charlie Kirk shot at (shot?) in Utah

If, on the other hand, congress had done it's fucking job and made a damned LAW about it... that's an entirely different issue. In order to overturn that federal law, the court would need to show that the law itself was inherently unconstitutional.
No, they would just need to state that. Nobody is judging them; Nobody marks their work, and says "You get an 'F' for poor logic; Go back and try again". The Supreme Court is, as the name suggests, supreme.
They would have to be able to defend the view that the law itself violates the constitution.
You can defend any view. Who has the authority to declare that defence inadequate, when it is made the majority opinion of the Supreme Court?

Any Supreme Court justice can write or join with a dissenting minority opinion; But the majority decision still stands, even if the minority opinion exposes it as utter tripe.
And there's nothing in the constitution that it would violate.
There is, if the Supreme Court says there is.
 
Roe was an interpretation, and nothing more.
It was a precedent setting case.
Stare Decisis, nothing more, nothing less.
Stare Decisis, which at least two of the three Trump justices (not sure about the third) swore to respect during the confirmation hearing pageant.
What a joke.

BTW Ems,
In its 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the Constitution provides a right to abortion. That fact can easily be confirmed by any respectable source.

You keep forgetting what "in The Constitution" actually means. It means whatever the Supreme Court of the United States of America says it means.
It is just as correct to say that the right to abortion WAS affirmed in the Constitution, as to say that CURRENTLY it is not.
It is interesting to find out that you support the Dred Scott decision and the Plessy v. Ferguson decision.

Well that was a STUPID comment.
 
Radical Christianity is way out there, also. It's just we haven't seen much of their insanity.
Speak for yourself because your eyes must be wide shut.
We do not see a lot with the level of wrongness that we see from Islam. Where is the Christian equivalent to the Iranian-backed genocides of Africa?
Also in Africa.

I am surprised you were unaware of this.

Islam and Christianity have been fighting a very bloody war there for control of various territories (often asynchronous with national boundaries, as is true of so much of post-colonial Africa) for a couple of centuries now.
Sure there have been Christian wrongs there. I'm saying there's nothing remotely at the level of the current genocides.
Really? Are you sure? Or do you just assume it's so, because it suits your preconceptions, and/or those of your preferred "news" providers?
There have been some pretty bad things but not at the genocide level. Nobody set out to annihilate a population for religious reasons. Yes, there has been genocidal intent towards armed groups, not against groups that aren't attacking.

It is interesting to note that conservatives only bring up racism if they can somehow twist it into a counter argument, and not because they actually care about racism.

You will forgive me for not taking your word for any of this.

Dude, it is interesting to learn that you flunked remedial reading.

You can say the same about ANY decision that overturns precedent.

Get someone to read it to you if you still think it implies that I support the Dred Scott decision and the Plessy v. Ferguson decision.
It has exactly ZERO to do with my support of ANY decision.
 
FFS, Roe was never a constitutional right, and you know it.
The fuck it wasn't. Roe v Wade made a constitutional right. What the Supreme Court grants, it can remove.
Which amendment was the abortion amendment?
The ninth one would be a good start at recognizing how ridiculous that question always is.

Right to privacy isn't explicitly called out in the Bill of Rights. You gonna complain about that too?
 
This is an opinion piece by an org that, judging by their web site, is maximalist on immigration.
And note that this is a temporary stay, not a final decision.
Conservatives have a big problem with reading comprehension, so it probably isn't going to do much.
And everybody who is not a leftist is automatically a "conservative" to you, right?
Yes, I knew that it was a temporary stay. This is about as much ‘pushback’ as the Supreme Court is willing to give any of Trump’s demands.

Here is a link to a gifted article. Apologies for those who still believe that the NYT is ‘left wing.’
