Unless it's the consensus of the "people" that such a law be revoked. You seem to forget the power of the USA lies with it's people, not judges or politicians.

However, Liberals in general seem to think the power should lie with them, because they "know" what's best...IMHO, they have yet to prove it...as they fall flat on their faces with each effort.

The ONLY true proof lately has been with the POTUS and his cabinet.

The truth is though, I'm not entirely convinced that we're a majority. A lot of people think that abortion was what put Bush back in office, and maybe it contributed. But I don't think that all 51% of the people who voted for George Bush were all anti-Roe. If we're serious about doing what the majority of the *American people* want about the issue of abortion, then it should be a public ballot, NOT a Supreme Court case.

I'd rather see the Supreme Court go after the income tax, but we all know that's not going to happen.

Wrong, the power of the USA is in the constitution. We are a constitutional republic not a democracy. A democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what is for dinner.
