SCOTUS has determined it a Constitutional rightRoe v Wade is the law of the landUp until now Republicans claimed they had no intention of repealing Roe v Wade and supported abortion in cases of rape or incest
Dems have claimed Republicans want to repeal Roe v Wade and force women to bear children from rape
Republicans laughed and said they would never do that
In 2020 it is obvious they will
How do you "repeal" a law that never existed?
Which house or senate bill is that from? Which president signed it into law?![]()
Why don’t you look into checks and balances ?
So it is a law created from thin air by the judicial branch?
Hmmmmm
Section 1
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Am I missing where it says "oh, and the judicial branch has legislative powers beyond these lesser branches" ?
So a scofflaw court crafted law in violation of the United States Constitution without the need for the checks and balances of actual legislation.
I can see where there is concern by the abortion industrial complex.
That's it. The Constitution does not give authority to the Executive Branch to make law. It gives it the authority, actually the duty, to enforce the law of the land. Executive orders are for non-binding proclamations or to expedite enforcement of the existing law. The President has no power to make law other than to sign or veto whatever laws are passed by Congress. And Congress has the power to override a Presidential veto.
The law of the land is embodied within the Constitution and what laws are passed by the Legislative Branch within the limitations established by the Constitution. That was intended to keep the power with the people alone through their lawfully elected representatives.
And the courts are charged to interpret the intention of the Constitution and existing law as passed by the Congress or the respective state and local jurisdictions and/or pass judgment on whether those laws have been violated. They are not give any authority to change or create law. Where the law is silent, the courts were intended to be silent.
Further the bureaucracy that makes 99% of the laws of the land through policy and regulation is technically in violation of the Constitution as faceless, unelected, and largely unaccountable bureaucrats were never intended to have authority to make law under which the people are required to live. If there is to be a bureaucracy, whatever policy, rules, regulation they recommend should receive a Congressional vote before they are enforceable so that they are enacted with the will and consent of the people.
