Abortion is Legal unless you’ve lived under a rock here and this election aint about no damn social issues!
No he hedged he said we should fund the “good things” they do. He can’t bring himself to condemn PP outright. He is playing politics with his conversion on abortion.
Congress could, at any time in the 43 years, remove abortion from the jurisdiction of the USSC. During the Bush years, with a Repub majority, no one but Ron Paul lifted a little finger.
How could congress do that?
They all say they’re pro-life. I happen to like Cruz, but I’m not going into the whole ‘this person is SUPER DUPER PRO LIFE but the other guy is SUPER DUPER AWESOME PRO LIFE’ circular firing squad some Cruz supporters tend to create.
So is Trump more for inversion reform than Cruz? Is Cruz “inversion light”?
That’s how silly this is.
Constitutional Amendment? Congress can start one with a 2/3 vote, but it can’t pass one.
So you think getting a 2/3 majority of Congress and 3/4 of the states is more realistic than getting 5/9 of SCOTUS to overturn a bad ruling?
He won’t take the “Gotcha!” bait, so all the holy Christians immediatly leap on the negative.
I was not referring to any amendment. I was referring to the fact that Congress can strip any topic it chooses from the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.
Oh yea, sure they can. That whole separation of powers thing doesn't really exist. Just tell SCOTUS to go home, that will work.
By passing a bill, by a simple majority. The pro-life movement has been hoodwinked by the Catholic bishops, Nellie Gray, the National Right to Life Committe, the GOP, etc., etc., into thinking a Constitutional amendment is the only option.
It has been done many times, including in recent years. You seem to glory in your ignorance.
They couldn’t even get a bill to ban abortion after 20 weeks through. And after the obama budget passed by ryan etal who knows what kind of coat tails Trump will have for the GD RINOs in congress. That could be the reason he said he could cut deals with nancy.
Jurisdiction stripping, yea I knew what you were talking about. You are just wrong concerning SCOTUS.
Congress creates and regulates federal courts that are lesser than the supreme court, not the supreme court itself. That would be in the Constitution, give it a read.
You would have a simple majority Democrat Congress pass laws violating any well established right enumerated or otherwise and then immediately prohibit the SCOTUS from hearing any case on the subject.
Reasoned response. Sadly it will go over their heads. Anything to hang their anti-Trump on will do - even though, as you state, the President cannot change what the law currently is -
Trump gave a proper answer. State you’re pro-life and that should end it. The question is used as a diversionary tactic every election year against every GOP candidate and never towards a Dem candidate.
My response would be “Yes, I am pro-life and that settles it! To the inevitable followup question, I’d just tell them to F%$@ Off!
Congress can, by a bill passed by a simple majority, remove a matter from the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and has done so many times. Read your Constitution.
Sure, that’s how it works.
Reagan was ALWAYS Pro-Life. Always.
