I guess she thought Hillary would win and she could retire, with Hillary naming RBG's protoge.
Didn't happen
I know abortion, and I am pro-life, but I am a Federalist, and believe the issue of abortion is up to the states.
Flame away.
That not enumerated as a constitutional power is the states’ purview.
I’m grateful for Ruthie not giving up the ghost until Trump became 45. Best thing she’s ever done.
Well one good thing was I remember is she got along well with Clarence Thomas. They liked each other.
Is that correct?
The legacy of RGB is the lesson “The press can lie endlessly about the health of sick octogenarians but they will die or become non-functional on their own schedule.” The Democrats didn’t learn their lesson with RGB and lied endlessly about Biden who is now a vegetable. The frail, ancient crook Pelosi, while on a taxpayer funded vacation in Luxembourg, fell down the marble stairs of an inbred prince’s palace and broke her hip and is likely never to recover.
God in his wisdom gave us a limited time on this Earth so that we could not be endlessly persecuted by our rulers.
Hers is an example I hope the Wide Latina follows.
Slavery should have bern left to the states, but noooo, had to have a war over guilty consciences.
Anyone know the chances over the next for years for Trump to replace any more liberal scotus judges? Not counting anything untoward happening. Or conservatives packing the s**t out of it like libs wanted to do. Just kidding. But it would be worth it just to see them crap themselves.
On the other hand , after 50 years of Roe V Wade our country has become so depraved that overturning Roe v Wade has been a disaster for anti abortion proponents because the individual states have come up with some of the most radical legislation that effectively legalize infanticide.
Supposedly rational Arizona overwhelmingly approved one of the most radical abortion initiatives in the country in the 2024 election.
The people who wrote the initiative were absolute zealots on enabling abortion and it passed with 62% of the vote.
The language of the Arizona Proposition 139 initiative contains language artfully enshrines infanticide in the Arizona State Constitution and actually provides for the killing of a baby after birth if the abortion provider determines that the baby has not yet reached the state of "fetal viability".
Fetal viability is loosely defined as " the point of pregnancy when there is a significant chance of the survival of the fetus outside of the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures. "
The determination of fetal viability is totally subjective and is left to the judgment of the abortion provider with no provision for third party review or scrutiny.
Even worse, the initiative provides for -
"The measure also provides for the right to an abortion after fetal viability if it is done to protect the life, physical, or mental health of the pregnant individual, in the judgment of a treating health care professional."
So under the Arizona Constitution, it is presumably legal to kill a viable full term baby after birth if it is done "to protect the life, physical or mental health of the pregnant individual, in the judgment of a treating health care professional" .
Here is the text of the summary of Prop 139
"This measure amended the Arizona Constitution to establish that every individual has the fundamental right to abortion that the state of Arizona may not interfere with before the point of fetal viability. Fetal viability is defined in the measure as the point of pregnancy when there is a significant chance of the survival of the fetus outside of the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures. The measure also provides for the right to an abortion after fetal viability if it is done to protect the life, physical, or mental health of the pregnant individual, in the judgment of a treating health care professional. The measure also prohibits laws that penalize individuals for aiding or assisting a person exercising the right to an abortion.[1]
This right cannot be interfered with unless justified by a compelling state interest. In the measure, a compelling state interest is defined as a law or regulation enacted for the limited purpose of improving or maintaining the health of the individual seeking abortion care that does not infringe on that individual's autonomous decision-making"

You are correct.
Even RBG called it “bad law”.
Hope your armor is good. You’ll need it from some of the posters here.
Who is rbg?
I can’t use crochet lace collars on little girls’ dresses because of RBG. They’re cute, but wrong message. Even my dog’s pink ruffle harness got a delighted “Like Ginsberg!” from some liberal. Ick.
Who cares?
We have bigger fish to fry.
/eyeroll. I’ll light a candle. /s
