Does revoking a previous ruling really count as giving up power? The government had the power to say this is banned. They still have the power to say this isnt banned. It doesnt seem like any power has been lost. They just decided to use it in another way. They could change the decision tomorrow. That wouldnt be any more or less power. They are still using it to enforce their rulings.
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoYes, removing a limitation counts as giving up power.
- AlwaysRock 3y agoBut they havnt given anything up. They changed their ruling. They can change it again and have that, “power” again. The power isnt the limitation. It's the ability to implement or remove a limitation. They havnt given that up.
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoThey gave up the power to forcibly allow abortions. The "government" doesn't operate as a monolith, the executive branch now cannot universally do pro-choice related things.
