Checks and Balance on The Court

[HisArpy]

Reasoning akin to "if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it".

Just because they CAN do it, doesn't mean they SHOULD do it, and the USSC has by and large somehow refrained from doing this for most of our nation's history.

The current 6-3 majority has made a mockery of the concept of "stare decisis" (i.e. precedence) and seems to enjoy arbitrarily changing laws to meet their own whims. Particularly Alito....Alito has been attempting to discard any and all precedence from the moment his got his robes.

Explain how this is different from Roe v. Wade creating a Right where none was enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

Then discuss why you believe that Dobbs correcting this error is discarding precedent when the precedent is to correct errors of this type.

Or don't you believe that Dred Scott should have been overturned?

Good question.

Good question.

I'm fairly certain he doesn't have an answer because it destroys the narrative.

Exactly. There are some other 'precedents' that need to be revisited.

It never was, come to think of it.

 

[HisArpy]

It never was, come to think of it.

The 13th and 14th Amendments abolished it.

Which, incidentally, proves that the Left's mantra of "institutionalized whiteness" is a lie because we literally amended the Constitution to get rid of it.

It was. It wasn't until a certain political faction decided to try to exploit a false narrative that it began to affect society once more.

After the ratification of the 13th and 14th Amendments, DEMOCRATS stratified society in an attempt to oppress/suppress blacks and other minorities. Separate but Equal under Plessy v. Ferguson became not only the law of the land with the blessing of SCOTUS in 1896, but also of society. Under that division of social unity Blacks were prohibited from marrying whites; from owning homes in certain neighborhoods; were paid less regardless of position, if they could even get one; and so on.

The SCOTUS, under Chief Justice Earl Warren, decided Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 and desegregated our schools to the chagrin of DEMOCRATS everywhere. This followed a string of Executive Orders prohibiting discrimination as well as several legal decisions invalidating laws which allowed discrimination to exist.

Notably, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 wasn't the only attempt to abolish the idea of segregation. Congress tried several times to pass Civil Rights legislation. The first was in 1871 and again in 1875 but the SCOTUS said those weren't Constitutional. The Congress tried again in 1957 and 1960 but still wasn't successful in eradicating discrimination. In 1961 Monroe v. Pape was decided based on the Civil Rights Act of 1871 and upheld. Finally, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed and upheld as Constitutional.

There's a fascinating timeline of historical precedent regarding civil rights HERE.

Since approximately 1969, when Johnson (D) was President, discrimination has begun to openly creep back into society. Minorities were singled out as segments of society which need "help." That "help" has consisted of meager handouts which do nothing except keep those receiving them dependent upon each monthly payment. As more and more become dependent, the minority segment of society grows and becomes more oppressed by those whose agenda is to separate and segregate them.

We see this today on college campuses where there are "no whites" zones. Zones where Jewish students may not go. Zones where "the narrative" is the only speech allowed.

AND, if you look, you'll find that those places are begun and supported by Liberal DEMOCRATS.

Yet despite these truths, there are those who insist that it has been white conservatives doing all of this. Those who decry the correction of these wrongful things as "legislating from the bench." And those who attack anyone who stands up against this discrimination by the use of lawfare and social pressure as well as through threats and violent social behavior.

I will acknowledge that DEMOCRATS haven't been the lone actor in all of this. There are many of all political stripes who have participated and encouraged this destructive ideology, but it was begun and has been maintained by DEMOCRATS from the very beginning and is still being perpetuated even today by those who know better but who also believe that there is a lucrative personal advantage in it, and who are DEMOCRATS.

Hoorah for Long Dong Silver. I’m raising a glass that he’ll be joining his friend Scalia soon—and his fat ass nazi wife can be right behind him.

Not even you can possibly take that "Democratic welfare planation" bullshit seriously.

Those DEMOCRATS are now REPUBLICANS. In the early 1960s, the Democratic Party decided to get behind the black civil rights movement. That provoked white Southern racist Dems to migrate over to the GOP, to the point where the "Solid South" is now solidly Republican. You KNOW all this.

Good morning dumfuk. I only gave information which is available to ANYONE who chooses to look instead of vomit the lies of the Left.

I know nothing of the sort.

I do know the DEMOCRATS are trying to foist this lie onto the American people but it isn't gaining much traction other than with the stupid among us.

You do know it. The exchange of Dem and Pub constituencies in the 1960s and 1970s, the decline and demise of the Dems' conservative wing and the Pubs' liberal wing, is all public record. It is as thoroughly documented as anything in American history.

Yup, the democrats now being the party of censorship and oppression. The party of the wealthy who use the government to pay each other off. The party that must be excised from the body politic along with all of its followers.

 

[Politruk]

The party of the wealthy

That's both parties, actually. Owned by Wall Street. But the Dems at least pay lip-service to labor.

No I don't.

Here's a decent lecture on the subject.

She makes a good summary of what ACTUALLY happened at about 4:00 but the entire 40 minutes is worth watching.

Hopefully doing so will give some of you who believe the lie about the parties "switching" a few things to think about.

Explain how unmarried couples were able to purchase contraception when state laws specifically prohibited this for over a century, there was no enumerated right in the Bill of Rights.

Does "penumbra of privacy" ring any bells inside that thick skull of yours? Hint: Griswold v. Connecticut 1965

Then there’s this old, tired argument again. Ooooh! Democrats wanted slavery!

Derpy is too ignorant or flat out stupid to realize that parties come and go and parties can change over time.

Just as the Republicans were the “party of Lincoln” once upon a time are now the party of the American Hitler: dur Orange Fuhrer.

Nice try, chump. Sell your snake oil to your other my pillow idiots.

 

[Politruk]

Derpy is too ignorant or flat out stupid to realize that parties come and go and parties can change over time.

Buckminster Fuller, an inventor who fancied himself a philosopher, used to do a rope trick on the college lecture circuit: He would start with a length of cotton cord, hemp cord, silk cord spliced together to make one rope; tie a loose knot at one end; slide it down to the other end; and ask, "Is it still the same knot?"

I'm not clear what point he was trying to make. But political parties can work like that. In Lincoln's time, there were Marxists in the GOP -- Lincoln appointed several to military and civil offices; and Karl Marx himself was the London correspondent for Horace Greely's pro-Republican New York Tribune.

1965 was over a century ago? Who knew!

And, if you'd stop being an unmitigated asshole for one minute and use your Lit search capabilities to their best, you'd discover that...

I believe that there is a right to abortion in the 4th amendment

I've said so on numerous occasions. It's contained in the "persons, houses, papers, and effects" clause.

So, it's not my fault you're fucking clueless and stupid and an idiot in public merely because you're too dam fucking dum to understand that NO ONE is buying your bullshit in your efforts to make yourself out to be something you're not.
