Brilliant Quote from Tonight’s Debate

Sorry... but it's not a law... it's a SCOTUS decision that had been used as a guideline. As loony as Warren is... she technically correct here.

Not really. Once the Supreme Court makes a decision based upon the Constitution of the United States, it becomes the “Supreme Law of the Land.” This is the Law in all 50 United States and it cannot be voided by Congress. Nor can it be voided by any States. It also cannot be voided by Presidential Executive Order.

Roe v. Wade was a 1973 landmark decision by the US Supreme Court. The court ruled that a state law that banned abortions (except to save the life of the mother) was unconstitutional. The ruling made abortion legal in many circumstances.

It did not only make abortion legal. It specifically set forth exactly how many weeks gestation is legal for an abortion to occur. It is in all effect the same as legislation. The only way it may be altered is through an Amendment to the Constitution or a decisions of the Supreme Court. The current conservative Supreme Court has ruled several times in this session that it will NOT disturb Rowe v Wade. So it will stand as Federal Law until the Congress Amends the Constitution.

This is the worst political argument to get into, since everyone almost agrees. There are several types of laws. Such as Executive Orders, Legislation and Supreme Court precedent. All three are “federal law” - they are just from the three different federal branches of government, the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch, all three are defined as “Co-Equal.”

Mebbe let's try it this way. Can you link us to a Roe-V-wade bill and law from congressional lawmakers? That's the difference from a SCOTUS decision. Congress makes law. SCOTUS interprets. We're probably just splitting hairs here... as I agree with the intent of your post, just not the technical details. There is no law I know of that has ROE-V_WADE in the text,

The more interesting question... So! What do ya’ll think about congress making abortion legislative instead of a mandate?

It’s a reasonable proposal. It would undermine the whole point of the partisan attacks from both parties to score more conservative or liberal judges on the Supreme Court.

Also if the legislation is passed, does the mandate become obsolete and allow Republicans easier access to alter or remove what they couldn’t in the original mandate?

It's actually NOT law. It's a court case by which laws csb be challenged ABC's be determined constitutional or not. She's a LAW PROFESSOR. You really think she doesn't know this stuff?

It is “the supreme law of the land.” When the Supreme Court issues a decision it is law, even though it is not legislation, Roe v Wade is essentially unique, because it is likely the only United States Supreme Court decision that sets forth specific criteria, like legislation does, when it sets a specific number of weeks for a fetus to be medically viable. Roe v. Wade cannot be changed by legislation. You are mistaken. Yes, any state can pass a law that violates Roe v Wade, but it will almost always be struck down as unconstitutional before ever making it to the Supreme Court. The only hope the pro lifers have, is to pass an illegal abortion law, pray it survives through the state court in the state it was passed in, then pray for an appeal to the Supreme Court and then pray that the Supreme Court will reverse Row v Wade. It’s as likely to happen as it was to impeach trump. It’s a fairy tale for TV and internet news. Rowe v Wade is law and it’s not going away.

Roe v Wade is federal law. Period. She made that statement to fool her own ignorant voters that don’t know any better and live in fear of the lies she tells every day.
