The Supreme Court faces an existential crisis of legitimacy

The government has the powers given it in the Constitution. Technically, in a democracy the government has any powers a majority of the people choose to give it. That is why many make the point that we are not a democracy because a majority cannot override the rights of the minority in our system.
That's incorrect. The government has powers limited by the Constitution.

We can't, by popular vote, seek to outlaw a religion or enslave a group of people. Or can we? After all, we can dictate to people what drugs they can or can't take.

That was my point. We are not a democracy because even a majority cannot override the rights limited in the Constitution. In some representative democracies there is no such thing as an unconstitutional law.

"the government?" which government?
Federal powers are enumerated ( or found implied by SCOTUS) - Constitution lists them it doesn't
"limit" them.
If you mean the 10th those powers not specificly enumerated go to the state and people-
but that's the function of federalism or the balance of powers.

Government has limited and finite powers if that is what are crudely trying to say-
but even the 10th has limited reach
 
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said it better than any of the court’s external critics. "Will this institution survive the stench this creates in the public perception, that the Constitution and its reading are just political acts?” she asked during oral arguments on Mississippi’s abortion law on Wednesday. “If people believe this is all politics, how will we survive? How will this court survive?”

This is a crisis created by Moscow Mitch in order to kiss tRump's lawlessly hacked in hide at seditiously and un Constitutionally installing demagogues with the intent to do tRump's will only, and to hell with the purpose the U.S. Supreme Court was created as to serve the interests of society, Democracy as an impartial form of administering justice and in compliance with U.S. Constitutional law. This is another reason in order to further reduce the affect that tRump's destructive stench had in an effort to destroy Democracy from within, is to expand SCOTUS. This effort in order to dilute the seditious influence that exist there which does not work to preserve Democracy or the rule of impartial law but to be a tool at waging war against Democracy, society and humanity. Considering tRump and his repuke demagogues lawlessly corrupted SCOTUS, there is nothing illegal about reversing that atrocity when it comes to expanding SCOTUS in defense of Democracy and the interests of society and humanity and the rule of law, etc.
 
What do the rights of the unborn include? Do they have the right to make contracts, inherit....?

The unborn have the right to live. They will have the right to make contracts and inherit when they are old enough to understand those issues.

Where in the Constitution is the right to murder the unborn enumerated, Clem?

What the flunk are you rambling about? Actually, where in U.S. Constitutional law is there the right to lawlessly hack the 2016 election to install the bitch of Putin and treasonous repukes after hacking the electoral college against the will of the majority voter by 3 million that voted for Hillary Clinton? Also, where is it in U.S. Constitutional law is there the right for tRump and his goons to set up concentration camps on U.S. territory in order to enslave children, adults and separate children from their parents in cages to be molested, abused, humiliated and die! Any good answers?

So, you have no clue where in the Constitution is the right to murder the unborn enumerated, Clem.

You could have just said so.

Calm down, Clem, the Supreme Court will rule and you will not like their ruling...nor will you like the mid-terms coming in less than one year.

Your time to suffer is near.

English isn't your first language, is it, comrade Dookie?

The Constitution limits the powers of the Federal government.

Hallucinations. Pivot fallacy. TDS. Inversion fallacy. Denial and discard of the Constitution of the United States. Trolling. No argument presented.

The Constitution limits the powers of the Federal government.

Not correct.

The Constitution of the United States declares and defines the federal government, giving it specific powers. It has NO powers or authority beyond that specifically given by the Constitution.

Insult fallacy. Talking to fictional character as if real. Hallucination. Denial and discard of the Constitution of the United States.
 
Because the rights of the mother do not supersede the rights of the child after it's born.

One sentence.

It's that simple, you pile of shit.

but before its born they do?????? you logic fails just like your juvenile attempts at insults fail.
 
If a fetus is a person, try and get it a social security card . register it for the draft. Try and good food stamps. They will show you that is not a person.

then explain why a person who kills a pregnant woman is charged with TWO counts of murder.
 
So, you have no clue where in the Constitution is the right to murder the unborn enumerated, Clem.

The constitution is silent on abortion.
