The abortion ruling was the exact opposite of what the lying (or stupid) Max Boot says. ROE represented the tyranny of the minority, in which the court mandated abortion policy for the entire country. The recent ruling leaves the decision to the states and repealed not even the most extreme pro-abortion laws.
Neocon....ie Leftist Warmonger. The Democrats are welcome to him.
Hell, he’s Canadian. He’s not even an American.
That would be a de facto dissolution of the Union. The small states did NOT sign on to that.
Bingo, the liberals are wanting that and his article lays out one of the reasons the issue will start becoming mainstream
Max Boot. Isn’t that a video game name?
Didn’t know that! LMAO!
I always think of Max Headroom, somehow...
“Boot” is also a Brit term for a car’s trunk, while a “bonnet” is the hood. Go figure.
Das Boot is a great movie (1981)
Das Boot is great. Max Boot…not so much.
The 17th Amendment broke the Founder's design for Federalism since the Senate was always intended to represent each State's government, not the general population, as per Federalist 45 :
"The state governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the federal government; whilst the latter is no wise essential to the operation or organisation of the former. Without the intervention of the state legislatures, the president of the United States cannot be elected at all. They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will perhaps in most cases of themselves determine it.1 The senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the state legislatures."
Give it a couple of weeks and people will be saying ... What ruling?
Also, “the leak” gave the nazis time to “PREPARE” (organize).
Well, if the ‘large states’ aren’t getting the appropriate level of representation as smaller states, then they should be broken up to match the relative size of those other ones.
Clearly, they’re just TOO BIG.
And some are too small - lets just clump up those smaller ones in New England into one or two.
See, everyone can play this game.
I always think of Vermin Supreme
Brilliant - let’s change things so the whole damn country is run by Californians and New Yorkers - that’ll take care of what ails us!
Boot is a professional grifter. Read his book from 1998 Out of Order: Arrogance, Corruption and Incompetence on the Bench. Back then he was decrying the liberal SCOTUS and Roe.
Now he’s saying the exact opposite as if he never wrote the 1998 book.
He tailors his beliefs and message to whomever is paying him at the moment.
The pride of soviet Red Hampshire!
A total Never Trump horse’s ash so who cares what this pos has to say?
Kind of hard for it to be a minority when a majority of Justices voted this way.
“tyranny of the minority”
Not when you consider that the United States is not one big blob but instead a collection of semi-independent states.
A wonderful scheme. Find a state that agrees with you and go there and be happy.
