Again...I have to wonder. I thought racism ended the day Nikki Haley made a YUUUGE display and ordered the removal of the Confederate Flag from the State Capital. I remember there was a ceremony and everything...... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

... And he proves it once again today. This is the third time this month Chief Justice Roberts has sided with the liberals of the court on a hot-button social issue (protecting DREAMers, upholding LGBTQ employment rights, and now striking down state abortion restrictions). In response to Chief Justice John Roberts siding with liberal judges on the Louisiana abortion ruling - Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio tweets: "What’s next, Chief Justice Roberts? Our Second Amendment rights?" Roberts flipped. He was on the opposite side of this same question in a 2016 case: Roberts had been on the dissenting side of the 2016 case Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt. While the law in contention in the case June v. Gee was nearly identical to the Texas law, Roberts based his decision on court precedent rather than his own opinion of the law. While he maintained that he still disagrees with the Texas law and the court's 2016 ruling, he wrote Monday that"the question today" is on "whether to adhere to [the 2016 case] in deciding the present case." The Louisiana law in dispute was similar to a Texas law requiring abortion providers to have hospital admitting privileges that was reviewed by the Supreme Court, in a different configuration of justices, in the 2016 case Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt. The Texas law then was deemed unconstitutional. The Supreme Court held that the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling meant that the restriction placed an undue burden on women’s access to abortions. https://www.washingtonexaminer...rts-joining-liberals As an aside, a "John Roberts" is listed twice in the Epstein flight logs.This message has been edited.

The law the court was deciding was nearly word-for-word a duplication of a Texas law struck down in 2016. Had the court allowed the Louisiana to stand, it would have been in direct conflict with the 2016 ruling. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Roberts essentially became the new Anthony Kennedy, the new "swing vote" of the court. Like Kennedy, who was appointed by Reagan, Roberts has quickly become the left's Fifth Vote. And like Kennedy, he has become an activist judge like the other four leftists. Roberts will never leave or be replaced soo. Ginsburg and Breyer are the keys for the near future of the court.

Yes... and Roberts was on the opposite side of this same question in the 2016 case. He voted to overturn the Louisiana case just because of the previous decision, even though he thought it was wrong and voted to uphold the Texas law in 2016. By that logic the Dred Scott case never would have been overturned. "Some things are apparent.

I'm really starting to wonder if Roberts hasn't just decided to vote to screw all of us 'and' Trump as often as possible, jurisprudence be damned. RBG has been exactly who we always thought she was her entire career. Roberts appears to be 'coming out' and showing us exactly who he's always been. The man disgusts me. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman.

Ginsburg can die tomorrow--Trump won't be able to replace her in this term--Garland set the precedent. We need to reelect Trump. Year V | |||

Bologna. McConnell has already stated he'll ram a nomination through, as well he should. If that opportunity presents itself and Repubs don't take advantage of it, they're actually dumber than I think they are. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

IANAL and this is a serious question: Are previous SCOTUS decisions inviolate? Even if it is pretty clear that a prior court was wrong, are we stuck with whatever they ruled forever? | |||

NO. Just as Congress is not bound by the acts of a prior Congress, the Court is NOT bound by the decisions of a prior Court. Here are two of the more famous reversals: Dred Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court in which the Court held that the US Constitution was not meant to include American citizenship for black people, regardless of whether they were enslaved or free, and so the rights and privileges that the Constitution confers upon American citizens could not apply to them. Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities as long as the segregated facilities were equal in quality – a doctrine that came to be known as "separate but equal". Roberts is just "concerned about the institution of the Court" and his reputation on the DC cocktail circuit. He is a little man without balls. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit.

Question posed this morning by Chris Plante, conservative radio talk personality: "Which do Democrats consider their worst defeat: The loss by the Confederates in 1865, or Trump's triumph over Hillary in 2016?" You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

Ever heard of Roe Vs. Wade? IMO that is hands down the biggest failure of the SCOTUS, ever. 'Zero' constitutional standing and support. A decision pulled right out of the air and/or the justices asses. Everyone knows this decision was total bullshit, but no one has any interest in fixing it. Roe will likely never be overturned because of equal parts of the court's arrogance and cowardice. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.
