Do you consider all federal law to be basically unconstitutional?
Do you consider all federal law to be basically unconstitutional?No. But I would consider a federal law against murder, enforced by the FBI, to be unconstitutional. And unnecessary. Every state outlaws murder.
Bank robbery, kidnapping, those are special cases that involve federal insurance of funds and crossing of interstate lines that have called for federal laws.
In this case, the first step, is to return the issue to the states. We have much more chance of outlawing abortion in a few states at first and more later and maybe even a constitutional amendment later, than we do of getting a federal law against abortion now.
I'll say this, even if it gets me banned from FR: anyone who honestly believes that there is any chance of a full-fledged federal law banning all abortions, anytime in the next 20 years, is stupid. Just plain stupid. I'm sorry. If you really think that's going to happen, you are stupid.
And if you're willing to ignore all other issues to the exclusion of pushing this single 100% impossibility, then I say again: You Are Stupid.
And FreePoster, this is not directed to you personally. I am using the general "you" referring to anyone who believes that there is any chance at all, in this generation, of passing a major, all-inclusive law at the federal level banning all abortions.
Do you consider all federal law to be basically unconstitutional?Anyway, I'm not talking about "unconstitutional" in the sense I want the supreme court to step in and take over.
I'm arguing for a different approach to government. The approach Fred advocates.
Returning as much as possible to the states.
