Everytown and Planned Parenthood Call for Supreme Court Term Limits

Say what you want about Kavanagn, Gorsuch, and Barrett. Trump’s three helped overturn Roe and solidify the 2nd Amendment.

Every NeverTrumper - and any Harris voter - effectively is a fan of abortion and gun control.

US Constitution, Article III, Section 1= tenure for life.

[BipolarBob]

I wonder how the SCOTUS would rule on this.

/sarc

[Repeal The 17th]

Do they realize that a “bill” would not accomplish this?
It would require an amendment to the constitution.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

That’s the ultimate target. The bill will let them frame the issue for argument and public consumption. In the name of good government, it will ultimately pass. It will then be ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, setting the ripened issue on the stage for a Constitutional Amendment.

Think of it as the first probe of a military campaign.

[Seaplaner]

“Right now, the Roberts Court is advancing a far-right agenda that undermines our freedoms, including the freedom to live free of gun violence and the freedom to make choices about our own health and bodies.”

Such deceit.

The notion that gun confiscation leads to the "freedom to live free of gun violence" is proven precisely false in every major blue city, on a continuing basis.

Deceit.

The Dems' middle name.

They don't realize it. Amazing the number of elected public officeholders who believe they can do anything they want as long as Congress approves it. They know nothing about the very lengthy temporal procedural requirements involved in amending the US Constitution. Just listen to all the incredibly ignorant blather about making changes to the US Supreme Court simply by passing a bill by congressional diktat, as though they were dealing with a governmental agency like the IRS or the DOE, both of which are supremely unconstitutional themselves, but that's a subject for another thread.

[DoodleBob]

including the freedom to live free of gun violence

In theory, there IS a place in America that is a gun controllers dream:

Prison.

And yet, firearms and all kinds of weapons are found in this dreamland.

I guess we gotta pass more laws banning weapons in prison.

[Revel]

What constitution. They don’t recognize it.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Stop gun violence, only kill yoyr own baby

[FrankRizzo890]

So these lefties want term limits on SC justices, but congressmen can stay in office until they die. Is that about right?

[vpintheak]

Call all you want, you evil ghouls. Change the Constitution.

[hanamizu]

“...setting the ripened issue on the stage for a Constitutional Amendment.”

Easy peasy. Just get 2/3rds of each House of Congress to approve such an amendment and convince 38 states to ratify it. Understand, however that the math means that 13 states can block it.

Let see now, how many state legislatures have passed ‘Constitutional carry’? Why I think it’s 29 right now. Sorry Everytown and Planned Parenthood.

[Nervous Tick]

Yup.

Big Abortion delenda est. With extreme prejudice.

[Secret Agent Man]

When your morals and ethics are entirely based on current situations...

[Secret Agent Man]

Guess they’d need a constitutional amendment to do that change.

Good luck on that.

[Angelino97]

They don't realize it. Amazing the number of elected public officeholders who believe they can do anything they want as long as Congress approves it.

Because democracy.

[ChronicMA]

That is incorrect. Not in constitution at all.

Congress can and does put term limits on offices. The FBI director can not serve more than 10 years unless reconfirmed because that is the condition on the nomination.

The Senate can confirm someone with a statutory term limit, and it is a term limit the nominee has accepted by accepting the nomination.

The current justices however are all grandfathered because there was no term limit imposed at the time of their confirmation.

[thegagline]

That is incorrect. Not in constitution at all.

It most certainly is. It is quite telling that you attempt to conflate the Executive Branch (your reference to the FBI ) Article II, Congress (Article I) and the judiciary branch which is governed by Article III.

My guess is that you think you are a legal expert because you saw several episodes of Matlock.

This is my last post to you as I have resolved not to carry on communicating with fools.

[Daveinyork]

They want to kill babies, but not murderers.
