[ow can you consider an issue to be “settled” by a 5-4 decision that overturns hundreds of years years of almost worldwide consensus? And, regarding Roe v. Wade, why should we honor a “colossal mistake”? Aren’t “colossal mistakes” the sorts of things that you try to fix? ]

You are referring to decisions made by the SCOTUS, 1/3 of our branched of government. They declared both the law.
Disagree or not. That’s how checks and balances work, good or bad.

It is not the position of the USAG to determine what is law and what isn’t. It’s his/her position to follow it.

I was not criticizing him for following the law as along as it stands, but for seemingly being comfortable to allow the law to stand without challenge.

Not quite correct, Obozo. The legislative branch, i.e., Congress, holds the final cards, per the Constitution. The legislative branch can overrule the Supremes or the Executive Branch if they so choose, especially when the ‘law’ is based on flawed legal arguments.

We the People are the final arbiter. It’s time we used some muscle, as the Founders allowed for.
