There's no link and I couldn't find a newsource, but this guy's sources are pretty good. If this is true I'm pretty much done with voting Republicans.

How can the Congress codify a “right” that has been ruled unconstitional. I don’t think Congress can codify unconstitutional “rights” without amending the Constitution or having the Supreme Court reverse their decsion.
What am I missing?
And right on cue, the RINO supporters and apologists rear their ugly heads.
Well that does 3 things
The dems now blow up filibuster so it’s open season when we take over
It can be undone when we retake control easily and nationwide ban on abortions can happen
Throws a chance back to SCOTUS for a ruling protecting life of unborn nationwide
You are one of the most knee-jerk idiots on FR.
Go form your own little one imbecile third party. Good riddance.
A federal law could specifically override the SCOTUS ruling. The SCOTUS vacated Roe because it was not codified in law or contained in the constitution as an enumerated right.
Why are you asking me?
Correct, it's un-Constitutional on its face. The USSC will slap it back down (if they have 60 votes to overcome the fillibuster or the Dem's nuke the fillibuster rule) faster than the Democrats will lose the House & Senate in 99 days.
What legal meaning is there to “codify”?
A modification of what I just wrote.
The so-called “right” is not subject to Federal law under the U.S. Constitution, which is why the States (based on their individual Constitutions may or may not have authority to codify aspects of it.
And the big throw is on.
Lose in November and blame it on Trump.
You're missing the most important part: they kicked the issue back to the States, because that's where it belongs. There's nothing in the Constitution of the United States of America that conveys a right to murder another human being.
Additionally, all rights not EXPRESSLEY conveyed to the Federal Government by the states, remains a States Rights issue.
Yep. But we can codify Roe by legislation. Then someone will file a suit. The SCOTUS will take a year to take the case. In the meantime, abortion will be legal in all 50 states.
Probably can in Alaska. No way in Maine. Plus Collins is here until January 2027.
But remember, Trump could not do ANYTHING without 60 votes in the Senate.
But Biden can ram through wahtever he wants with 50 votes.
Codify is the word the Left is using. USA Today defines is this way:
What does it mean to codify Roe v. Wade?
To codify something means to “arrange laws or rules into a systematic code,” according to Cornell Law’s Legal Information Institute.
When lawmakers say they want to “codify Roe” it means they want inscribe the abortion rights the ruling once protected into federal law.
Different animal, I agree.
Did you ever read how NEO con’s happened? Back years ago when the Warsaw Pact was a big threat and communism was expanding a group of slightly more pro-American democrats were unhappy with the soft stance being used by their party on the reds. So they split off and joined the republicans.
Basically all they had in common with conservatives was a more pro-military stance and a bit more nationalistic. They still had much more in common with leftist democrats in many, many areas like tax and spend, social programs etc.
Hence we got Bush’s, Chaneys, and now Murkowski and the like. I actually think we would have been better off if they would have stayed with the Dems as they seem to equally effective at blocking conservative movements.
(At least that’s how I remember reading it)
This needs to be the final nail in Murkowski’s coffin. She’s unfit to represent Alaska.
That's pretty arrogant coming from a Filipina and not a native born US citizen. STFU.
No doubt my two NevaDUH senators will counter that. Oh, never mind. Both useless as................
Purely symbolic, if I understand the Dobbs ruling.
