If that is your position, you think that when the came down with Roe V Wade that WAS political independence and legitimacy and when overturn it its not? You can't have your cake and eat it too. It's not "illegitimate" when they don't "legislate" the way YOU want.
To be clear I am very moderate on abortion, I believe in the first trimester. But this is a states right issue and is a made up constitutional right.
- hackyhacky 4y agoAcknowledging that SCOTUS has always been political is not controversial. But until recently, they "legislated" in a fair way, in order to maintain the appearance of neutrality. I am specifically objecting that change away from the appearance of neutrality, starting circa 2000 in Bush v Gore.
- pyronik19 4y agoits fair when you get your way, its unfair when you don't? You think "Roe v Wade" is the appearance of neutrality but Dobbs isn't? What is your standard of fair vs unfair?
- hackyhacky 4y agoCompromise. Roe was that. Dobbs is not.
- pyronik19 4y agoHow is that a compromise... a controversial judgement you like is fair the one you don't isn't? That's not a standard.
- hackyhacky 4y agoRoe was clearly a compromise, which was unsatisfactory to nearly everyone at the time. I don't like Roe, but it's better than what we have now, which is nothing.
