10 Biggest Adjustments Fleeing Californians Have To Make In Their New States | Babylon Bee

I wish the politicians and the whole bunch would have left Roe v Wade alone. I realize many people felt the SC overreached in the decision but Jesus it’s nonstop ever since about how the SC took peoples rights away.

IMO Congress cowered behind RvW for 50 years. They had plenty of time to pass some sort of law and many congressional majorities during that time.

I have no idea if they had the votes at any time but afaik they never even got it to the floor.

The SC simply kicked it to the states to decide, they didn’t take away anybodies rights.

No matter how loud or long the media yells about this the fact remains that the people have just as much right to be for abortion as they do to be against abortion

I saw this floating around a bunch, and it left me with the question: How often is congress rolling through and codifying things that the Supreme Court decided? Is this a common thing? I feel like we would've heard about it.

It seems like a strangely symbolic way to use political capital on the national level. And it doesn't seem like it would be all that effective. If they'd done it, one of the other majorities could've just undone it.

The phrasing "they didn’t take away anybodies rights" is interesting too. Because it reads well at the start, but then gets weird if you deconstruct it. Like, if we all got together and voted to repeal the first amendment, that wouldn't directly rob us of a right, the new laws and actions in the court system would. In this case, it opens things up to rearrange rights. In essence it rolls back protections on certain "rights." And that colloquially is described as taking rights, though perhaps inaccurately.

That's true. And even for things like arms and speech, or due process or a litany of other things, there are so many angles and extensions of rights and gray areas, things are often fuzzy.

It is true that that particular thing is not in there. It's also unfortunate that the culture political structure went such a way that a majority-supported compromise is likely impossible, and that so much chicanery and grandstanding surrounds it.
