US Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Fetal Personhood Appeal
Newsmax ^ | October 11, 2022

Posted on 10/11/2022 8:21:01 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to decide whether fetuses are entitled to constitutional rights in light of its June ruling overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized abortion nationwide, steering clear for now of another front in America's culture wars.

The justices turned away an appeal by a Catholic group and two women of a lower court's ruling holding that fetuses lacked the proper legal standing to challenge a 2019 state law codifying the right to abortion in line with the Roe precedent. The two women, pregnant at the time when the case was first filed, sued on behalf of their fetuses and later gave birth.

So our independence is only legal because other countries recognized it?

Yes, ... but here's the fun part, ... we're free to apply the necessary force (just like we obtained our Independence), to make said other countries recognize us, the only requirement being that we prevail.

Then we can continue to apply force, or not, as we choose.

“I don’t have an answer for you”

I can’t speak for the lowest level of courts but I can offer an answer for the higher levels. The chain of command on courts is starting at the lowest level required and going up with an argument piece at a time until the law is changed by someone that happens to pertain, the SCOTUS decides to hear it or not and makes a call, or you run out of time and/or money.

Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate, as stated in the Constitution. It has become the practice of politicians to appoint judges consistent with their personal politics and not exactly with the best interest of the public so the laws they create will hold up in a court challenge. We all know, unfortunately, who these court using politicians are by the way they do the people’s business. It is blaringly obvious and on both sides of the aisle or the surrounding area of created parties. (People like Bernie Sanders listed as a democratic socialist)

So, my answer, I know you’re on the edge of your chair, is simply get rid of the politicians that are not in it to do what their oath says, protect and defend and represent the people they are entrusted (hired) to. Not to represent their interests and prosper ahead of their constituents. At the highest levels, the house, the senate, and the president and his/her (it’s coming) band of merry people, they are no longer entrusted with the business of their state as much as all the states and using the resources and manpower to accomplish an overall goal for the entire country. And their mistakes, or acts on purpose, no longer apply to their little heaven where they’re from as much as the whole country.

If those are gone, the judges will be selected better and more honestly, I hope. I see the name Navy Patriot is your handle. When you were in the business, and if you still are, did you not evaluate each situation with first protecting your troops until you couldn’t any longer? I know I did (career air force, then department of the army, and DOD, over 35 years belonging to someone and making calls for a lot of it) I feel this is where the business has broken down at all levels. Making laws that are not going to fly and having them crashed by judges put in to monitor and surgically remove those that are not in the best interest of the politicians agenda, is not justice. That comes with honesty and integrity which is blatantly absent. Vote the wrong type of people out and put the right ones in. And don’t expect to get it right the first time. It sometimes takes a few treatments to kill all the cock roaches.

Well, that's a good answer, (and they way the system is supposed to work), however it requires an Electorate that can do he job of holding office holders accountable and Honest Elections.

Additionally, it offers the Electorate no way to remove shills appointed by untrustworthy office holders before the Electorate can remove untrustworthy office holders from office.

That is why I had no answer for you.

I agree, this will take a long time done in a "civilized" manner.

What would “make” a country recognize another?

Your theory ignores conscience, which can resist any force.

Well, you see, it's a Real World Theory.

Nations do not have Conscience, they have only Interests and Population.

However, you are free to use your Conscience to resist the Interests of a few million other angry Humans.

You might achieve the Grand Enlightenment of Martyr, if those few million don't succeed in having you defined as a Criminal.

Or, if it's a hundred million people or so, they might write the History in which you never existed.

I can tell you’re a damned Mason and traitor to God and country.

The Declaration was effective when it was signed and it remained and remains effective wherever American forces exercise power over a place. The recognition of the King of Spain was irrelevant to the force and effectiveness of the Declaration, just as if Philip VI King of Spain decides to rescind his recognition we will remain Independent until such time as the last American surrenders and stops fighting.

So worried about other people writing your History.

I won’t, so I guess you don’t have independence of thought.

I don’t recognize your argument, therefore it doesn’t exist.
