    SCOTUS is loaded with Republican appointees.

    What legitimacy does it have to lose?

    How is it “pro-life” for a nation to accept school shootings as a routine part of our daily news feeds? Can it possibly be “pro-life” to pretend that because no law will ever end all such shootings, it’s not worth trying to pass anything that might at least make them less likely?

    The right to obtain and carry guns is validated in the Constitution. Constraining abortions saves lives and carrying a gun has saved untold numbers of lives.

    No one accepts school shootings as a routine part of our daily news feeds. It happens but it is not an accepted happening.

    Your false equivalency is just that, false.

    It would have been loaded with Democrat appointees had Clinton won in 2016. You know that. Elections have consequences as Obama said.

    I did not post anything about survival of the fittest. Your straw-man just went up in flames.

    States have laws concerning the age that a youth can own a gun.

    Try again. Do better.

    .
    Rowe is based on a clear standard. Even you should be able to understand it. Under Roe, women have a Constitutional right to an abortion at any time before the fetus becomes viable for life outside the womb, defined as 24 weeks from conception. The Roberts court seems poised to abolish that standard, without creating a new one, meaning Roe will be effectively repealed and states can do what they want.

    I don't really care one way or the other. Abortion has never been an issue with me. But I believe this is more about states' rights than abortion. In fact I'm sure of it since the SC is not going to make abortion illegal.

    The only way for that is that they cannot try for another term after their 10 years is up. A lifetime appointment was supposed to keep them above and out of politics., So rightys like the Federalist society ,follow their careers from college onward tracking what they said all the way. They do not permit a Repub choice to wander from their standards. Any Repub nominee has to meet a purity test, and they lie like hell through the process. They gave us some bad choices.
    Many of those they gave to Trump for federal judges were rejected by the bar assoc for being unqualified.
