Breaking JUDGE FINDS PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL
The law was a sop - a dead fish - thrown to pro-lifers to buy votes. Nothing more. Bush, to his credit, has appointed pro-life judges to the Federal bench. Maybe if he wins a second term we'll see some decent Supreme Court appointments - maybe not. Nevertheless, legal precedents have been established and very few judges - even conservative ones - are willing to overturn legal precedents. Worse, the Republican track record on Supreme Court appointments is really only half-conservative. If Bush appoints O'Connor as Chief Justice and WH Counsel Alberto Gonzales as an associate justice (the prevailing wisdom among court watchers) , abortion will be permanently enshrined - just as racial preferences are now.
The same thing was said about homosexual "marriage", and the states voted "No."
The homosexuals are still looking for a liberal judge to over ride the states rights. The pro-death crowd would do the same thing, and it would end up back in the SC anyway.
Baloney.
There isn't a single clause in the U.S. Constitution that is immune from idiotic judicial interpretation.
Having said that, I will point out that the judiciary isn't really the problem here. I've said for some time that the Federal judiciary exists only to provide legal cover for legislators who don't have the b@lls to cast votes on controversial issues.
Abortion -- right up to the moment of birth -- will be legally allowed in this country until the day we are overrun by Mexicans and Muslims. You can bank on that.
Here is another good anti-murder page: Abortion is Murder
This is easily explained, as half-born children can only claim half their constitutional rights. And of course, you know who gets to dictate which rights those are. Who? Why this and other ACTIVIST judges of course, legislating from the bench.
How could we dare challenge a judge's qualifications, that ruled a mother had full constitutional rights, but a half-born child had none, not even the right to life, the most fundamental constitutional right there is.
Too bad a president can't remove his own appointees for cause. Of course that would require that a president actually have the back-bone to do it.
I understand that. What we need to do is start impeaching tyrannical judges who would legislate from the bench.
I doubt this is over.
I consider it unconstitutional, but for a completly differant reason. Laws for murder, manslauter, and child slauter, are empowered with the States.
Ever wonder why it is that Abortocrats shriek that Roe is unassailable, bedrock constitutional law, while they frantically seek to dismantal it's integral provision - namely that a State may regulate late-term abortion?
Hahahahahaha!
I posted an inquiry the other day as to what recourse we have to reprimand/discipline appointed judges. I don't believe there is anything we can do legally.
Can you impeach and remove an appointed judge?
God will only take this so long before he intervenes. I am not looking forward to that day.
Why not just let the people decide. Bring up the homosexual amendment and an abortion amendment and end all this. Let us, the people, decide on social issues like these. It's our country. Social issues should be our decision.
The courts can nibble around the edges of a constitutional amendment, but they cannot declare the amendment itself unconstitutional.
How is the mother's health aided or harmed by killing the baby? That's what I want to know. It is perfectly legal to birth the baby prematurely if the mother's health is threatened. I see no further help to the mother by stabbing the baby in the back of the neck and sucking his brains out while he writhes in pain.
"It's our country. Social issues should be our decision."
While I agree that this should be a public ballot issue, the term "herding cats" comes to mind.
Which materials do you recommend to people that have no clue what States' Rights the Federal Constitution enumerates and how it's misunderstood? Besides obviously starting with READING the u. s. Constitution...
Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce, which the med profession is involved in. The 14th Amend guarantees fed rights. The right to life is the most fundamental of those. W/o that, there is no other.
