stare decisis is neither an inexorable command
nor a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision
especially in constitutional casesWhat an awesome Supreme Court Justice.

One day... abortion will be illegal, and all the politicians who supported it will be forever stained by the blood of those they helped kill.

Secondly, successfully placing Roberts atop the high court is beginning to look like former President George W. Bushs most important legacy a gift that will keep on giving for conservatives for decades. WHAT!
There wasn't a dimes worth of difference between GWB and Clinton. How can this be?

If ever there was a law that should be overturned, it is Roe v. Wade. Take a stand for life and you will find a new and improved America.

If it were, segregation would be legal, [special rights for gays, women, non-whites, aliens, students, etc.]
minimum wage laws would be unconstitutional,
[uh, they are]
and the Government could wiretap ordinary criminal suspects without first obtaining warrants.

HA HA HA HA HA!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! CHUCKLECHUCKLECHUCKLECHUCKLECHUCKLE. Roberts snookered ‘em. Hey, it’s a lot more fun when a justice turns out to be a conservative instead of a moderate, than it is when they turn out to be a libber.

If Roe is overturned, each of the 50 states (or is it 57?) will make their own rules on abortion.
To: Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus
The next SCOTUS kind of fell of the radar for me, but it's the most important decision the POTUS makes.
If Stevens and Ginz can hold on for another three years, we could swap them out for a Janice Rogers Brown/Miguel Estrada/Pryor/Owens.
Lord, I pray that is Your Plan.

It does suggest that although Bush wasn’t perfect, he wasn’t the dunce he is made out to be either.
To: Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus
I could possibly see Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito voting to restore regulation of abortion to the states (i.e. refuting it as anything the federal government is empowered to regulate). That would not eliminate abortion, you can bet Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, California, etc would put an abortion law on the books within a month even if Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, etc might potentially ban it. But it would make it something you could debate within your community again, so that would be something.
The thing is, who is the 5th vote? Forget about Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Stevens, and Breyer. Kennedy might be the only possibility, though he seems to have come down on the side of placing precedent on a pedestal higher than the constitution itself on this issue.

Great....especially if they could correct the "person" interpretation that includes criminal aliens who deposit babies in this country in order to have their offspring declared "U.S. citizens" by judicial fiat. Foreigner's babies born in this country are NOT entitled automatically to citizenship....and doing so to allow them to sponsor then the illegally in-town parents and relatives is ludicrous on its face.
Roe v. Wade, minority set-assides, and ALL States' Rights rulings that have eroded the Constitutions' intent and meaning ALL need to be re-visited, and found Un-Constitutional, and correctly put us back on course, if it's not too late already.
