@averagejoe1 saidYour knowledge of history is zero. There were 6 SCOTUS judges at the time the Constitution was implemented and the number has been changed by legislation 7 times.
You might not be able to absorb this, but how bout 9 supreme court judges. Nine. A good number. Actually that is what it is now, so why change it? It has worked for over 200 years. 200 years.
Why are libs up in arms about changing every facet of our society? A judge doesn't rule in your favor, so, like FDR, try to get more judges to water down the court???? ...[text shortened]... tuff than you got? Someone of a different culture won't let you into their club? What is the deal?
Besides, I thought you were fine with overturning precedent?
@mott-the-hoople saidYou continued ignorance regarding the very basic philosophical principles of the Framers is disturbing.
abortion is not mentioned in the constitution, therefore the scotus lacks the power to allow it or deny it. they returned the issue to the states where it rightly belongs.
They told you governments are formed to protect People's rights.
They told you rights exist regardless of whether they were spelled out in the Constitution.
Why do you keep ignoring what they said?
@averagejoe1 saidIt was working until ultra right wing evangelicals and conservatives spent about 40yrs subverting it, culminating in one minority POTUS shoving 3 extremist judges down its throat.

It is now actively working against the will and commonly held wishes of the people.
It has proven itself unfit.
@averagejoe1 saidHey, coward.
OK, you have your point, religious extremists.....Shav, you have been only too happy to tell us you are an atheist. Is that why you throw the word 'religious' in there. Go Shav. What, pray tell, is that reference supposed to mean.
If you want to say extremists want to strip women's rights, that may well be. Why say religious?
These posts are full of unnecessary irrelevant fluff. I'm Busy!!!
I am a Christian and I call them 'religious extremists'.
Religion has NO (NONE, ZERO) place in government.
The Supreme Court may as well have just endorsed a state religion, which is prohibited by the First Amendment.
@mott-the-hoople saidSo, you’re saying that any issue that isn’t in the constitution, has to be decided on a State level?
abortion is not mentioned in the constitution, therefore the scotus lacks the power to allow it or deny it. they returned the issue to the states where it rightly belongs.
@shavixmir saidThat's what they think.
So, you’re saying that any issue that isn’t in the constitution, has to be decided on a State level?
They also decide to ignore the Ninth Amendment.
@averagejoe1 saidSoooooo.........

You wouldn't lose any sleep if the next State of the Union address didn't conclude with ....
May God bless the United States of America.
@no1marauder saidWonder if The GOP will allow women to continue to vote?
The dissent stated this eloquently:
"Because laws in 1868 deprived women of any control over their
bodies, the majority approves States doing so today. Because those laws prevented women from charting the course of their own lives, the majority says States can do the same again. Because in 1868, the government could tell a pregnant woman—even in the first days of her ...[text shortened]... ion are not being true to the fundamental character of the nation that will suffer its consequences.
@shavixmir saidSCOTUS said it. You libs kill SCOTUS, not Mott.
So, you’re saying that any issue that isn’t in the constitution, has to be decided on a State level?
@kevcvs57 saidMethinks The will of the people is definitely more pro-gun and antiabortion than you think. Methinks Suzianne head in sand

@kevcvs57 saidAre Kagan and Sotomayor not extremists? Do you REALLY want me to google like Marauder for some of their outlandish opinions? I’m busy!

With your extreeeeemist comment, you are like Sonhouse wit. He has said more than once that Republicans all they want is power. Will you tell Sonhouse for me that Democrats also want power? Do you get his point, I do not get his point.

You and the rest of you zombies just keep puking out the Trump lies about election fraud, funny how there was near zero fraud even going back to the civil war but now that your hero Trump just SAYS there was massive fraud with ZERO proof and you zombies just drink the Trumpite koolaid believing every lying word that would be dictator says, pathetic is what it is, you gave up your right to think for yourself and you think you are so independent you just THINK you think for yourself but your brains have been taken over by an evil fascist by the name of Trump.
