When we have these posts and I twist my mental Rollodex to come up with a suitable person Condolelezza Rice pops into mind. I suppose without a law degree that would be unlikely . I like and respect her and wish we could get her back into public service.

Whenever my liberal friends start giving me a hard time about my conservative values and try to claim I don't like hilldog or Polozi because I am afraid to vote/support for a woman I toss out Rice and tell them I would support her for any Govt job or public office

Now is not the time for moderation nor "reaching across the aisle".  We must strike while the iron is hot and save the Republic as we once knew it.  Pack the court very red for very long.  If Rice isn't part of the swamp she's had a good bit of swamp water splashed on her.  No more half measures, damn the torpedoes full speed ahead for Gorsuch 2.0.

Wouldn't there have to be a case with some sort of legal standing be submitted to the court for there to even be a chance for Roe to be overturned? What legal standing could one use to bring such a case? 
View Quote
Yes.  However, standing can be flexible in some circumstances.     In the original Roe case, one could argue the case was moot when tried (the process took long enough that she had had the baby by the time it went to court) but they found a way around mootness doctrine.

Please, I mean please show me where I said Donald Trump was a social conservative. Certain individuals in this thread have stated social conservatives are the problem with Republicans losing elections. Since we have now lost the house, the Senate, the presidency and we don't control a single state with the trifecta of the governorship, the state's version of the house, and the state's version of the Senate,. Clearly social conservatives are a serious problem.

I am simply agreeing with those members stating such facts.....oh, wait

The Latin phrase is "stare decisis."  It is a principle of giving deference to prior opinions, but there are numerous examples of the Court overturning prior decisions.  Once a decision is rendered it is not thereafter forever engraved in stone.  See, for example, Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education.

Kennedy leaving isn't a huge win in my mind.  The vast majority of the time he casts his vote against government restrictions.  Some call him left-leaning because when he applies this to things like gay marriage he says government shouldn't be able to restrict two consenting adults from calling themselves married and, therefore, if the state is going to recognize marriages it has to recognize them all.  But he also was on the pro-gun side in Heller and McDonald, he votes for limiting search and seizure, is dubious of government overreach in things like environmental protection regulations, riled the "liberals" by voting against government restrictions on speech in Citizens United, etc.  

Edit: I can't think this morning.

That is why I want Justice Thomas to retire during Trump's first term.  While he will be missed, we can find a replacement just like him, it's just a matter of looking hard enough for him or her.  Especially if we can find a replacement with youth and stamina to stay on the bench for 20+ years.

Elections have consequences, and Trump won. They are already calling Trump a monster and making him suffer in public opinion for it, he might as well behave like one; what's to lose, they might say he's a bad man?.

The problem with Kennedy is that he doesn't adhere to the Constitution as written. The marriage issue is an example.

It's great he's retiring on Trumps watch. I hope he is replaced by a more conservative ("textualist") jurist, but at least he won't be replaced by a bat s--t crazy leftist.

Ginsburg.... her replacement will make for a huge improvement.

There is a Latin term which I can't remember but it basically means let the decision stand and it's a principle that the SCOTUS works under.

Essentially it is intended to make sure that future SCOTUS sessions don't reverse standing decisions.  The only way that Row v Wade could be imapacted--see that I didn't say reversed--would be for new cases to come along that chip away at the edges.

But as I understand it, abortion will always be legal due to Roe v Wade.  There will never be a time when abortions will be illegal in America again.

That's how I remember constitutional law from college because we discussed this very case.

Trump won because he was a nationalist conservative. He tapped into people's frustration with the fact that both parties have more or less operated under the assumption that white people have a lot to answer for, and we'd better get used to giving minorities lots of entitlements. No Republican in a very, very long time had confronted these lies head on. That's why Trump won, not because of incredibly unexciting things like balancing the budget.

The statistics on abortion dont support that. Thete is no demographic to it. Religious, non-religious, rich, poor, white or black, all equally likely to have an abortion.

I would say the under reported group would be affluent white suburban women who have the most to lose professionaly and socially by admitting to having an abortion.
