What a load.

One of the core fallacies of their old stale failed thinking is that they are judicial supremacists, like the rest of our political and legal class passing the responsibility to protect unalienable rights solely upon the courts.

when only the U.S. Supreme Court can do that

In fact, ALL officers of government, in every branch and at every level, have sworn to uphold the Constitution, which protects the God-given right to life of every innocent person.

Without co-equal branches led by constitutionally-minded representatives of the people who are willing to provide checks and balances, we no longer live in a constitutional republic, governed by laws and not by men; we now live in a judicial oligarchy. And it's killing thousands of little children every day.

Another way around Roe v. Wade would be (you would need a pro-life congress and president) for a bill to deny the SCOTUS and federal courts jurisdiction on matters involving aborticide.

There was a National Review article in late 1980 or early 1981 where the author, a lawyer, listed (I think) 20 or so ways that Roe v. Wade could be nullified without going to the SCOTUS.
