thought we had 3 separate and co-equal branches of government. You have just made the courts the final imperial arbiters... sick!!

No I have not. I am advocating for the constitutional process to be carried out. I do not want some future president to veto a bill overturning Roe v. Wade because he considers it unconstitutional. I don't want a future president to veto a tax cut bill because he alone decides it is unconstitutional. That is why we have 3 co-equal branches of government and each branch have their own prerogatives and powers. Ask yourself why the constitution only allows ONE branch of government to be made up of Non-elected officials.

It should be. Abortion has no place in the courts, it belongs to the states.

YOU do believe in an Imperial Court, everyone bow to the mighty lord Judges!! =o)

Except of course, the congress has the power to amend the
constitution and abolish the supreme court, with the consent
of two thirds of the states of course. The supreme court could
never do the same to congress, so I guess they are not really
co-equal after all. [:-)
