What document established America as a free sovereign nation?

[CharacterCounts]

I have embarrased my fair share of Harvard and Yale professors on the subject of constitutional law.

I imagine you have emabarrased many people, in the same respect as a child peeing his pants at a party embarrases his parents.

Your self-proclaimed greatness sems to go hand in hand with your rudeness.

[PlainOleAmerican]

Seems to be a lot of that going on around here these days.

Some conservatives don’t react any better to truth than the liberals do...

[EternalVigilance]

In other words, since the Constitution is silent on the fedgov's powers regarding abortion, it is a state issue.

So, you believe that the unborn are not persons, and are therefore not protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, as our Reagan pro-life GOP platform asserts.

[mnehring]

The sad part is I pointed out the false/slanted information BillyBoy was posting about these votes back on 06/29, yet he continues to post this info over and over..

[ejonesie22]

Well, well, those pesky facts...

[Little Ray]

McCain ALSO has a good ACU rating - but I won’t vote for him ‘cause (aside from his erratic behavior) CFR was HIS baby. I’ll never forgive him for the “Incumbent Protection Act.” Sometimes one really mistake is all it takes.
Fred voted for it, but has since disowned it.

So, you believe that the unborn are not persons, and are therefore not protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, as our Reagan pro-life GOP platform asserts.

No, I say that the authority to protect life is a state issue under the Constitution.

[Oliver Optic]

If you knew who I was, you’d be embarrased to talk constitutional law with me...

If your posts weren't so brief, I would guess you were Alan Keyes.

(Heh ... just playin' ... I'm a Keyes guy myself.)

[PlainOleAmerican]

Your insults are first rate, for a kindergarten class.

Try making your case... That’s much tougher. I believe it was you who first identified yourself as an expert on constitutional law.

Just answer the question... Let your genius do the talking...or start walking.

[Prokopton]

In his brilliant dissent, Judge Adrian Burke cites the Declaration, and declares that it has the force of law:

Dissents do not have the force of law, in fact they are "dissenting" against what the established (by the Court) law actually is.

[EternalVigilance]

No, I say that the authority to protect life is a state issue under the Constitution.

So, California can continue to have "legal" abortions?

[Clara Lou]

Then you didn’t read the article.
Look, sourpuss, I was asking for your particular list, which I hadn't seen in any of your posts.

[EternalVigilance]

LOL...the Fourteenth Amendment is the law. Judge Burke’s dissent jibes perfectly with that, and with every other fundamental element of our most precious founding principles of inalienable rights.

It was that particular stupid majority opinion that helped lead to Roe.

There is no hope for overturning Roe without the reestablishment of the principle that all persons, born and unborn, from conception until natural death, have the God-given right to live, as described in the Fourteenth Amendment and the Declaration of Independence.

[Ol' Sparky]

Compared to Ghouliani, McCain and Romney, Thompson certainly does look like Ronald Reagan.

The facts are that the American Conservative Union gave Thompson and 86.1% rating, that's far more conservative than the alternatives. Ronald Reagan himself might not have been any higher than that as governor of California.

[jude24]

!. Dissents are not substantive law.

2. A NY Court of Appeals decision is authoritative only in the State of NY. It carries no weight whatsoever with the Federal Courts on issues of Federal Law.

Don't try to play amateur lawyer. You're not particularly good at it.

[Prokopton]

Are you saying you agree with the majority?

It doesn't matter what I agree with, the majority opinion is the law. You quoted a judicial dissent and that is not the law.

[EternalVigilance]

Judge Blackmun, in the meat of the Roe decision, admitted that if the unborn were PERSONS, that they were thereby protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Do you think unborn babies are PERSONS?

[donna]

Mary, is that you?

[trisham]

I do.
