its better than nothing

and the legislative branch can always supersede those decisions

it's not crazy

and remove any judges they want

It cant

go to civics class

The Consititution can just be ammended.

Judicial review and judicial precedent makes it essential illegal to make a law prohibiting abortion

which is probably impossible now

in particular, the senate can basically tell the supreme court to fuck off

or more often, when the supreme court is not deciding the raw constitutionality of something, the constitution need not be amended.

not the house, but at least the senate can

Not written down as law, but has the same power as law

it is illegal to prohibit abortion in the first trimester

yes

Its basically 9 people deciding on new constitutional amendments

the argument was stupid

the constitution needs an amendment to prohibit first-trimester abortion

because of search and seizure or some shit

that fell on everyone then. The judges, the elected officials who were afraid of dissenting with popular opinion...

u do know that it takes a large majority of congress just to add an ammendment right?

yeah, five people had a shitty argument once

republicans, had they spines, could have reversed it

Your point @Pyro ?

Cause ofc I'm aware

that with divided politics, it's impossible

Unless your the scotus

there are ample opportunities to override the supreme court's opinions from the legislature

they choose not to

and that is the main reason it doesn't happen

Then you can just say something is unconstitutional and its illegal

Cause of Judicial review

now republicans being cowards, and democrats being batshit crazy cultists is another matter

generally speaking, laws prohibiting first-trimester abortion are not constitutional

yes

unfortunately thats true

the constitution must be amended, in order for the answer to change

they did that by changing the definition of life...

this prevents double jeopardy, which is great

and prevents waste

however, the downside is that you get stuck with things
