Yes I love how people always invoke the Constitution
They say something or point out something that has nothing to do with the Constitution then cute that as evidence of something being unconstitutional.
Yeah, real legal experts.
state law is starting to supersede federal law across the board
in many ways it has for decades
a great example is Marijuana
which is still federally illegal
or a more apt comparison is alcohol regulation, states have differing laws about the sale and usage and alcohol, and have for decades
but you don't see people protesting that Utah doesn't allow the sale of hard alcohol
well you do but... not with outrage
Yeah I think it is best to let the states decide
yeah, Alabama and Georgia didn't pass those laws in a vacuum, they elected extremely conservative leaders and they are following their ideals and promises
I'm curious what the actual in-state popularity of those laws are
Yeah I don't know. I hope this makes its way to the supreme Court and I hope they reexamine roe v wade. I know they are always reluctant to touch that one but I would like to see if the modern justices agree with the reasoning of the decision.
well the current Supreme Court is rather conservative itself
which is why people are worried Roe vs Wade will be overturned
it was one of the main points being discussed about Kavannaugh getting his seat
but it doesn't really matter
if Roe vs Wade is overturned you'll just a slew of more liberal states passing laws protecting abortion
Federal Law is becoming less and less important
Right but roe.v Wade is what prevents laws at the state level from being enforceable.
If it was overturned it wouldn't ban abortion outright. It would be up to the states.
Unless a law was passed on the federal level banning it, which states would likely ignore the way they do marijuana and immigration laws.
I just feel like the reasoning about abortion rights being a privacy issue is a stretch.
Personally I am glad that the supreme court has more conservative justices now.
I feel like it was liberal controlled for too long. In fact much of the judicial branch is liberal.
thats interesting, because I hear the opposite, but I live in one of the most liberal areas of the country so it might just be a factor of degrees
From my perspective, the courts are always quick to overstep their bounds and issue injunctions against the executive branch when a conservative contorls it.
For instance all of the immigration stuff Trump has tried to enforce. There is always some judge in Hawaii or something that stays he can't do it.
well thats because Hawai'i is the most liberal state of the Union
they have the longest history of voting 'blue' out of any state
but yeah, I get your point
Personally I feel like the judicial branch has it's nose to deep in to the executive branches business. In my eyes it would be like Trump going in to a court and declaring a judges verdict invalid
He executive branch isn't supposed to have to seek permission from the courts for everythinng they do.
And you just hit the nail on the head. Hawaii is blue so the judges out there rule against the conservative president. And that's the problem. Judges are supposed to interpret the law, not legislate form the bench.
well its more what I was talking about the decline in power of the Federal Government, states are quite literally ignoring Federal decisions and just doing their own thing
anyway I gotta go to dinner 😃 be well
Have a good dinner
How was the day @Uberduperdrew ?
