Do Conservatives agree we have rights not mentioned in the Constitution?

[evince]

But black presidents cant appoint scotus members according to Republican Party practice

[evince]

The Republican Party hates this nation


They lie us to war


They crash the economy with deregulation


They limit black presidents


They cheat in elections


They just keep trying to kill everything the people want

[evince]

The court has been increased by before



That’s not see sawing anything

[evince]

Life


Liberty



The pursuit of happiness



Even for people with wombs

[Damocles]

Killing Roe will give us a see saw

I believe it may, but it would be a travesty. It quite literally destabilizes the checks and balance system we have in place. The current administration would basically change the face of the court to match its political views disregarding any meaningful check on its power. This is how fascism begins, with the support of a major political party.

I do not think 9 political appointments to the Supreme Court should be deciding these issues. I am starting to think the Supreme Court should be eliminated.

The Founders never intended for it to have the power it does. They sought a much weaker judiciary, but the Court gave itself the powers it has:

And trump didn't with the help of McConnell, and his ignoring of the Constitution?

I wonder what would happen if there was no Supreme Court.

No. Now had he added 3 more and then removed the old lady rather than just adding one to replace the old lady we'd have had an issue. I would have been right there with you objecting to that.

However appointing one justice to replace one that died following the procedure allowed in the constitution? No. He did not.

We will find out if your pResident makes political appointments to make it reflect his own political image. Once that is done there will be no going back, it will be a simple political tool, no more checks and balance, only another arm of the Executive. I do not believe he will "add seats" in order to make it reflect his political image because I believe that there would be backlash and his handlers know it.

So you're one of those racists that are okay with abortion on demand at any time during the gestation period. Dumb.

wow you are an idiot

I support the reversal of Roe Wade - because it is a bullshit legal principal

States can definitely limit to 15 weeks - and less IMO - but if they completely ban it, they are defying self defense laws

[Old Trapper]

One would have to be created to settle lawsuits, and rule on the Constitutionality of laws. With a new creation the power could be limited.

I knew you were not intelligent enough to grasp the concept of "packing the courts". When your gawds declared that Garland cold not be appointed by Obama due to the "lack of time", and "wait until the election is over", they violated the Constitution. And when your gawd trump appointed those who's ideology was the same as his he showed what you said was his "fascism", "This is how fascism begins, with the support of a major political party.", and then this little gem: "We will find out if your pResident makes political appointments to make it reflect his own political image."

But it is like I said, you lack the intellect, and the integrity, to be a true Patriot.

The previous admin basically changed the Supremes to match their political views. Did you miss that? That was the beginning of Fascism and we are trying to fight it off.

Do you small government types agree we have a right to privacy from the Government regarding our own medical decisions, or does the Government have a right to dictate our medical care if they so choose?

I am not talking about insurance or what they will pay for, I am talking about making decisions with your doctor.

Does the Constitution protect your right to choose Chemotherapy or decline it, or should the government be allowed to outlaw or mandate certain medical and other personal decisions?

What about deciding who you can marry? What about who can use contraception? What about who can have or not have children?



Does the Constitution make us free from government intrusion in our most personal of private decisions about ourselves?

RepubliCONs have no concept of abiding by their oaths to defend the U.S. Constitution but engage in a war effort against Democracy and the Constitutional rights of society at doing all they can to wage war against U.S. Constitutional law too, especially when it comes to the right to vote. Also, the right to privacy is not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution but SCOTUS stated that several amendments created that right.

In the United States, the Ninth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects against federal infringement of unenumerated rights. The text reads:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

The Supreme Court of the United States has also interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to protect against state infringement of certain unenumerated rights including, among others, the right to send one's children to private school and the right to marital privacy.

The Supreme Court has found that unenumerated rights include such important rights as the right to travel, the right to vote, and the right to keep personal matters private.[4]"
