“The Supreme Court can act with far more unity and focus because of the 6-3 right-wing control over the institution,” Raskin said in an interview Friday.
As Raskin finished talking, Democratic aides were setting up for what was supposed to be a valedictory rally on the House steps in advance of passing the most consequential gun violence legislation in almost 30 years.Just a day before, the court had ruled against state laws that restricted rights to carry guns in public, a decision that will likely lead to more guns on the streets.
That power shift came through in a statement from Sen. Susan Collins . A key swing vote on the confirmations of Justices Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh, Collins accused them Friday of giving misleading answers to her about the importance of respecting previous court precedents during one-on-one meetings ahead of their 2017 and 2018 confirmations.“They both were insistent on the importance of supporting long-standing precedents that the country has relied upon,” Collins said.
After some high-profile figures lost GOP primaries, Republicans have generally backed away from any compromise on the issue. Back in June 2020, with Congress hopelessly stuck on how to handle the status of millions of young undocumented immigrants, a 5-4 Supreme Court majority waded into the battle by declaring that the Trump administration did not properly follow procedures in an executive order trying to deport them.
This has been an issue for decades. There are so many social issues that should’ve been handled by Congress, but instead they let POTUS or SCOTUS do it. The fact that we have an originalist court means the outcomes are gonna be different.
No. Not really.
Do they even still make metal hangers that can be used in illegal abortions? All my hangers are plastic.
All Congress has ever had to do is their job. SCOTUS banned nothing yesterday. Just told them 9 unelected judges don’t make law. They do. Biden, Schumer and Pelosi own all 3 branches of the Gov(until Nov). Want abortion back at the Federal level? Do your jobs.
YOU ARE HERE CAUSE YR PARENTS ARE NOT LGTVPLASMAHD÷ AND YOU WERE NOT ABORTED
THE LEFTis, Death penalty: 'Don't kill people even they are pedophiles.' Abortion: 'Kill that fetus urgently!!'
