Anyway, these un American tRump kissers here should consider more reasons this un American majority SCOTUS should come under review, and groan all one likes because getting screwed by tRump and his gutter associates, hypocrites and traitors is really something to groan about. Yet thank goodness these un American tRump kissers won't be around forever but hopefully Democracy and civilization will be preserved for current and future generations to come. Also these un American and blasphemous hypocrites should realize the creators of U.S. Constitutional law and SCOTUS did not intend for SCOTUS to end up in the gutter to wage war on Democracy and the well being of society and U.S. Constitutional law.

Just a few days after Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are moving quickly to appoint and confirm a replacement. A growing number of moderates, such as Eric Holder, are warning that should Republicans ram through an appointment, this fact, plus the deliberate blockade of Barack Obama’s appointment of Merrick Garland in 2016, would justify a new Democratic administration and Congress to add seats to the supreme court to restore balance.

With voting already under way in the 2020 election, a rushed appointment and confirmation in this moment would be a clear partisan power play, and further collapse the legitimacy of the supreme court. But more broadly, the firestorm over Justice Ginsburg’s replacement is a reminder of how the modern supreme court has too much power in the first place. It is critical that our democracy reform agenda also consider how to reform the judiciary."

This is suppose to be a Democracy and U.S. Constitutional law gives all citizens the right to speak freely and voice their complaints, concerns and justified arguments but of course your kind would prefer to stick your head in the dirt while your ass his pointed to the sky to get screwed by un American and uncivilized demagogues.

There is another option. Congress has the power to decide what kind of cases the Supremes can see. They can close off abortion and gerrymandering cases if they choose. https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...reme-court-wh/

Considering SCOTUS has become so corrupted as a result of tRump's un American influence that has turned SCOTUS into a enemy of the State and a hostile mob against society, defeats the purpose of why the SCOTUS was created at not being created to wage war on Democracy. This includes aiding foreign enemies who desire for Democracy to be destroyed from within, violating the law it was put there to defend that being Constitutional law and being a right wing extremist threat to voting rights at becoming a terrorist organization that has alienated itself from defending Democracy, defending U.S. Constitutional law and defending the well being of society. Not only has tRump killed the republican party by causing it to be a un American cesspool of treason, sedition and other destructive endeavors against society and humanity but also SCOTUS too at being packed with right wing extremists who are a threat and a serious liability. Also as a result of the constant urge to vote, why have a SCOTUS that has become a mob of so-called republican dominated and unqualified tRump cronies who are a threat to voting rights. This in order to suck up to the will of this lawlessly hacked in criminal against humanity tRump? This includes these so-called justices of sedition who have betrayed society that they are there to protect:

A Harvard law professor on whether it’s time to rethink the nation’s highest court.

Author’s note, October 27: This conversation occurred in October 2018, shortly after Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. After Amy Coney Barrett’s rushed confirmation to the Court, just a week before the 2020 election, it feels newly relevant.

When he was arguing for the ratification of the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton wrote that the judiciary “will always be the least dangerous branch to the political rights of the Constitution,” in part because he believed the federal courts would stand above the political fray and act as a bulwark against tyranny from all directions.

But it’s hard to defend the Supreme Court on these grounds today.

As my colleague Matthew Yglesias has argued, the Court is now a blunt political instrument, used repeatedly to undermine outcomes of democratic governance — often on behalf of corporate interests. And the recent disaster that was the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation has further delegitimized the Court in the public’s mind.

So it’s perfectly reasonable to ask if we should abolish the Supreme Court, or at the very least strip the Court of its ability to overturn laws that it rules unconstitutional. If the Court is no longer a neutral arbiter of the law, if it’s gradually shape-shifting into a partisan weapon, then maybe it’s time to rethink its role in our constitutional system."

You can't change the Constitution of the United States. Only the States can do that.
The United States is not and never was a democracy. It is a federated republic.

The Democrats want nothing less than to destroy the Constitution of the United States and replace it with fascism by oligarchy.

The United States is not and never was a democracy. There are currently no democracies anywhere in the world. The United States is a federated republic.

Congress does not have that authority.

I've known that for years.

The abysmal ignorance displayed by the likes of Nerdberg explains a lot, doesn't it?

Abortion was legal under different circumstances in 20 states before Roe.

Prior to Roe v.Wade, 30 states prohibited abortion without exception, 16 states banned abortion except in certain special circumstances (e.g., rape, incest, health threat to mother), 3 states allowed residents to obtain abortions, and New York allowed abortions generally.

And IMO, the states should be the deciding authority.

These right wing extremist on the so-called Supreme Court, among whom were involved in the treasonous act of facilitating the un Constitutional act of acquitting tRump at the impeachment trial despite damning evidence that justified a conviction and the act of obstructing witness testimony, indicates that these hacked in extremist at SCOTUS, especially that unqualified and perjuring creep Kavanaugh apparently think these band of un American extremist can do the job that foreign enemies want to happen at destroy Democracy from within and trampling all over U.S. Constitutional law, the civil liberties of society and anything else of a core value of America and civilized nature. Yet, this is not the first time Democracy has come under attack among, in particular, the enemy from within as society has the right to know, see and focus on the true enemy of Democracy and their own lives from within.

Article 3. Look it up. I explained it. you are wrong as usual.
