Trump will be grateful for this because it distracts from the Russia bounty story.

it may energize the Evangelicals that want to control every woman's body, but they don't want to wear a mask.....quite a conundrum.

John Roberts was Bush's biggest mistake.

I'll be interested to read the published opinions before coming to any conclusions regarding this decision.

Invading Iraq is and will always be number one.

John Roberts will have far longer of a negative impact than Iraq.

Stupid. It’s about protecting human life not controlling.

Haven’t read the opinion. Probably won’t, tbh.

The law was identical to the one in Texas that was struck down in Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt.

I do think LA made some attempts to build a record that there was some benefit to the health of women (TX did not build any such record and conceded that they knew of no benefits) but there were other statements in the legislative record that showed that it was pretextual.

The only interesting things about this opinion, IMO, are that Roberts was in the minority on the Texas case but switched sides for this case and that Gorsuch did not go with Roberts to make it it 6-3 was a minor surprise to me. The outcome was the right one, legally. LA should have made a different law.

Iraq says hi.

Do you wear a mask in public too?

 

[Velo Vol]

It's becoming pretty clear that Roberts doesn't want the court to rock the political landscape.

Aren't you curious as to why Roberts switched? I am. I'm also interested in the reasoning of the other Justices. But I agree with you, probably the right decision based on what its intent was, which wasn't the "safety" of the mother.

It's not much different than DC/Heller in that regard. Opinions may vary.

That was clear with his ACA decision in 2012.

 

[volfanjustin]

Iraq says hi.

Someone already tried that

 

[BowlBrother85]

John Roberts was Bush's biggest mistake.

Uh, no. Invading Iraq because they supposedly had weapons of mass destruction was George W. Bush's biggest mistake.

 

[happy-go_vol]

Yeah, its the excuse that the baby murderers like to make. How we can make an excuse to suck the brains out of a baby. Just incredible.

 

[Velo Vol]

Yeah, if he wanted it there's the votes for this court to be a political wrecking ball. He's shying away from that.

 

[volfanjustin]

Uh, no. Invading Iraq because they supposedly had weapons of mass destruction was George W. Bush's biggest mistake.

Nope. Plus everyone at the time said the same thing about Iraq, including people you have and will vote for President.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I also think that he wants his court to be balanced. He has clearly shifted to the left since Kennedy stepped down.

That is not true.

 

[37L1]

Do you think that he might just be making his rulings based on the merits of the case and is not political at all in his decision making?





















Wait, did I just type that?

 

[Septic]

Yeah, its the excuse that the baby murderers like to make. How we can make an excuse to suck the brains out of a baby. Just incredible.

If requested or in places where social distancing isn’t possible: Otherwise, I avoid crowds.

A mask is about protecting human life too.....what is the difference?
