"Now everybody concedes that all this will take a few years."
If the Supreme Court liberals are smart, they will take this case on now, before Bush has another opportunity to change the Court.
mobilize every legal thought, afterthought and presumptive thought
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
I also happen to agree with him 100% on this.
Do you think that the folks in the Bush administration believes in democracy in Hamastan? If so, they need their heads examined.
There's another one.
The Supreme Court can't just "take it on" until it works its way there through various other courts. The challenge for the pro-abortion people is that if they let this stand, all they've lost is South Dakota where I understand there is only one small killing center, but if they push it through the courts, they stand to lose a lot more. And the fact that they can't predict the composition of the Court by the time the case gets there makes it even more of a gamble.
I can't figure this...even though it is the right thing to do and would increase the number of potential taxpayers...the pro-death crowd is upset, ya think they may be hooked up with Islam?
South Dakota only has 1 abortion clinic anyway. But this will be interesting to watch.
Scalia made some interesting remarks recently on abortion before a think tank. The topic was the use and relevancy of foreign law in interpreting and applying the Constitution. He said that he would believe the sincerety of those who do when they start using foreign law on abortion cases. The US is in the distinct minority when it comes to allowing abortion on demand with no restrictions. Even the UK, Italy, and many other Western countries have restrictions. The US is among the 50+ countries that don't have any.
I think you're right, to an extent. I can't see the pro-aborts taking it past the state courts if they lose. But what if they win in the State Supreme Court? Is South Dakota willing to take this all the way, knowing the risks?
If Bush gets another pick, he may nominate a flaming liberal as payback to his liberal friends.
Ping for later.
I missed that one. I've never seen this one either: regicidal
How long is that going to take, though? It should not take but a few days for a district court to throw it out, and clearly it will because as noted, abortion is not going to end in SD anytime soon, so that implies that the district court will very shortly make some kind of a ruling. That leaves the question of how long it will take the appellate court to deal with the case. I'd say less than a year.
Unbelieveable...a statement to ignorant for words!
Oops,speaking of ignorant..."Unbelieveable" - duhhhh, coulda/shoulda been "Unbelievable"
