Under the heading of “truth,” the alumni accuse Barrett of having “obfuscated” her position and record on “issues related to Rhodes’ LGBTQ and female alumni.” ACB’s former classmates note that the nominee pledged to uphold Supreme Court precedent — such as Roe v. Wade (1973) — during her confirmation hearings for the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, but in a 2013 Texas Law Review article, she said: “a justice’s duty is to the Constitution” and therefore it would be legitimate to strike down a precedent in conflict with the Constitution.
As usual, Roberts continues his history of the most convoluted and completely unintellectual “rasoning”.
Why is it surprising Roberts dissented?
If they listen to priests and pastors (especially conservative ones) who serve their students and faculty, and to faculty and administrators who are people of faith—NO litigation!!!!
We can only hope in God!!!!
I really tried to give Roberts benefit of doubt, but after “I would place a higher value on Article III” no more.
Article III opines “the judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity”. Indeed, an infringement on rights costing the infringed just $1 is still an infringement on rights which shall not be infringed. In anecdote, I have a rifle I paid just $29 for; that HR127 would cost me that $29 on a right which “shall not be infringed” - and Roberts would allow the infringement, the cost being only a few minutes of my time.
I propose coming a phrase: “a Roberts’ dollar”, the price some will sell out your rights for.
May it join “30 pieces of silver”, “a little earth and water”, etc.
The question I have is... can we sue the bost3rds for more than $1 when these things happen?
Any links or evidence to support your claim? Or are you just doing some ‘jackassin?
