Here is hoping that at least a few on SCOTUS are still Americans and still interesting in upholding the Constitution. I’m getting to the point where I have less and less hope.
“emergency contraception”= the morning after pill—abortion.
Not expecting a good outcome. Abortion is popular. Immorality is rampant. Murder is acceptable. All this in the new America.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Regarding questions of the constitutionality for any official federal government action, the first thing that the Supreme Court needs to look at is if the states have delegated to the feds, via the Constitution, the specific power to justify such action. And since this case involves both intrastate labor and intrastate healthcare, please note the following.
With the exception of the federal entities indicated in the Constutution's Clauses 16 & 17 as examples, entities under the exclusive legislative control of Congress, the states have never delgated to the feds, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate either intrastate labor or intrastate healthcare. In fact, here are historcal Supreme Court clarifications that the states have never delegated to the feds the specific power to legislatively address healthcare issues.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln, 1837.
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphasis added] beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
It remains that all three branches of the unconstitutionally big federal government are corrupt. So I'm bracing myself for more perversions of the Constitution by activist justices regarding the Court's decision in this case.
