Remember when they left went insane for months because Trump criticized a judge once (even though he complied fully with the judge's orders)?

It's good to be a leftist I guess. You can hold everyone else to impossible standards that you can violate whenever you want and nobody calls you on it. That sounds pretty good, but you also have to live with mental illness and delusions that you should be in charge and loriding over everyone as an iron fisted dictator - except the ones you sent to gulags or firing squads of course - and so frustrated and agry that you arent. Which must be a bummer.

“held that the right to abortion is no longer protected by the Constitution.”

actually, the right to an abortion, or the right to privacy, for that matter, was never in the Constitution.

[Deo volente]

We dodged a major bullet with Garland on the court. But now we’re stuck with him as Attorney General. What an anti-American disaster he is.

These people are truly insane in their obsession with killing babies. Demonic, really.

Federal property is not exempt from state laws. A federal jurisdiction is but of course there is only one of those.

[Brown Deer]

States may not ban Mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDA’s expert judgment about its safety and efficacy.

but, States can ignore that the FDA is aware that some companies are marketing products containing cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds in ways that violate the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and that may put the health and safety of consumers at risk.

Federal post offices will soon be abortion mills. In my state the post office is the ONLY place you can not carry concealed.

[Republican Wildcat]

This man would currently be on the Court if some people around here had had their way.

The despotism is certainly piling up isn't it. And a projected 2 more years to go of this.

 

 

[Republican Wildcat]

Amazing you are on this thread - considering that Garland would currently be Justice Garland if you had had your way.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

It’s a basic Supremacy Clause case. A federal law permitting abortions overrides a state law banning them. The federal law in this case is narrow, but still valid.

[FreeReign]

It’s basic 10th Amendment. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

[Boomer]

So Garland openly admits to being a domestic terrorist who should be on a no fly and watch list.

Good to know. Sure glad he’s not in charge of anything important in the justice system.

Look to the example of Rome. From a Republic to an empire then disintegration. We may not be a direct comparison, but decline into corrupt despotism, lawlessness and cultural collapse is the same. Our turn in that barrel has evidently come up. Voting our way out I don't think is a realistic option. The rot is simply too deep at the federal level as well as many state and local jurisdictions. As we have seen even if we were to ever have legit office holders the administrative state would simply refuse to cooperate and NGOs would activate to assault them from without and further paralysis. Sure we could have some Pinochet-type who could forcibly clean out the scum, but that would set a precedent that there doesn't seem to be a discipline to ultimately relax back to a fully functional Republic, still leading down the same road of dissolution as Rome.

Garland should be impeached along with Mayorkas.

Impeachment itself would not remove them from office. That would take 67 votes in the senate. And even if they were removed, The Biden gang would replace them with others at least as evil. Removing such monsters would would require winning in 2024 with real Constitutional conservatives in congress and the white house.

rope is to good for this puke

[Starboard]

Well said.

To paraphrase a popular aphorism, we may not repeat the Roman example but our decline will rhyme with it. ;)

The country’s demographics, culture and morality have fundamentally changed to the point where its hard to see how we can escape some variation of what happened to Rome.

It would take some sort of national calamity to wake people up to the severity and consequences of our societal and political decline. We are on a self-destructive path IMHO.

“to try to set up federal facilities to perform abortions even in states which prohibit it”

Another great opportunity for Indian Reservations to offer Abortion resorts. Abortion, casino, and resort spa, what could possibly go wrong.

[Made In The USA]

Thank God this FREAK didn’t become a USSC judge.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

The federal government is specifically charged by the Constitution with setting rules for the governance of the US military. The state can't tell the military it can't perform abortions anyore than it could tell the military to disarm.

To change that military policy, you'd have to change federal law.

[TBP]

Garland thinks the Supreme Court is illegitimate because he didn’t get on it.
