Tiptoeing Through the Supreme Court Tulips.
Oh what a tangled Supreme Court.
The SC is about to rule on whether having found one part of the ACA, Affordable Care Act, unconstitutional, it can rule that the entire ACA is not constitutional, just because one leg is not constitutional. That will defund health care for 20 million Americans.
The SC is about to rule on whether the 43 year old right to abortion in Roe v. Wade will be reversed, on the weird grounds that it was “wrongly decided”. They will ignore that fact that their entire careers to get listed with the Federalist Society, and their choice to the SC as Catholics who would overturn Roe v. Wade, made them the most biased possible judges who could be chosen. They would ignore the facts that two of them had been smuggled into the SC, the first by violating the Constitution by Mitch McConnell blocking the consideration of a Constituional nominee, and the second smuggled in at the last minute before an election in a maximally hypocritical violation of the first blockage.
While saving the “lives” of the 15 week unborn because they supposedly have a heartbeat, despite testimony that it is just electrical activity, will the SC deny healthcare to 20 million Americans and endanger their lives?
Many women do not even know that they are pregnant at 3 and a 1/2 months. Does that mean that every woman how is 3 and a 1/2 months late will be required to take a pregnancy test, to be sure that she does not smoke, or drink, or take drugs while pregnant.? Does this mean that the Republicans, who vigorously protest to registering the vaccinated, are going to keep track of all women’s periods?
Every trifecta Republican state, now up two to 23, will pass a complex bill with dozens of provisions to prevent or hamper minorities from voting. At least one of the restrictions will be clearly unconstitutional. Will the SC disqualify those bills in their entirety because one part is unconstitional?
Now, a California federal judge just ruled that the California Assault Weapons Ban is unconstitutional. One of the 98 pages of reasons given is that people in other states can buy them, so this deprives Californians of their supposed rights. But what about States’ Rights to make their own gun rules? The judge is then arguing that states don’t really have States’ Rights, but all must adopt the policies of the most lax states. Since Texas has decided not to regulate guns at all, there can be no gun laws at all. So States’ Rights to regulate even the most harmful weapons attainable, is non-existent. So the most conservative Republican justice has now abolished all States Rights, the key rights to ban abortions, and impose most Republican policies. The definition of a Republic itself is to give rights to the States to be independent.
What a tangled web we weave, when we are chosen for our biases.
