  1. I get what you're saying but that position currently has 3.5 votes at SCOTUS
  2. yeah that's not what they're holding. They are holding that there is not and never has been a constitutional right to an abortion because it's not protected by the constitution because it is neither an enumerated right protected by the constitution nor is it one of the unenumerated rights that existed at the time of ratification. I'm not going to try and insult you but that's what the holding is/will be.
  3. an intentional oversimplification of textualism/originalism and how it works but you know that
  4. sure you are. You're saying there was a constitutional right to an abortion because Roe recognized such a right even though SCOTUS is now saying that Roe was wrongly decided because there never was a constitutional right to an abortion. Maybe we're just arguing semantics but the result is the same: SCOTUS is going to hold that there is no constitutional right to an abortion.
  5. begging the question overload SCOTUS is holding that Roe was wrongly decided and that there is not and never has been a right to an abortion
  6. Of course rights matter. The purpose of the Bill of Rights was to guard against two wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for dinner. I don't dispute your point at all and I am deeply troubled by what will be obvious consequences of this decision. But at the same time there was no right to reproductive freedom at the time the Constitution was ratified, enumerated or otherwise.
  7. the syllabus of what?
  8. And whether Roe was rightly decided or not, this is a huge blow for stare decisis and signals to everybody that everything we thought was rock solid is now up to a majority vote at the Supreme Court without limitation.
  9. which is to say nothing about the policy issue. Abortion is good public policy in any number of ways.
  10. never was
  11. You're basically making Alito's point, which is that the Constitution does not protect these "reproductive rights," so the legislature should deal with them. The legislature has dealt with your other examples, on issues of employment, access to credit, spousal rape and abuse, etc. Why can it not deal with abortion as well, since there's no constitutionally-protected right to have one?
  12. Did your wife explain abortion to you, too? Maybe she could just post instead of you. Cut out the middle person.
  13. He was also in a Mercedes national championship is in the bag RTR
  14. I'm fweezing
  15. No, the solution is to act like a huge snatch about the whole thing because your flip flops and umbros got moist. OP nailed it. Perfectly manly response to something. "brrrr....I'm a skooch chilly."
  16. no one is making you do that
  17. this is unbelievable
  18. It's too tomato-y because you aren't "cooking out" the tomato paste. Just change up the order. Soften the onion (although you should use carrots and celery too), then toss in the garlic, then put in the tomato paste and stir it around and let it cook for awhile. It opens up the flavor and gets rid of that tomato tang.
  19. fuck that
  20. this thread has potential
  21. How old are your kids? I ask because I fight this same battle with my wife and my teenager. I charge my phone at work now.
  22. When our friends do "pot luck," everybody always tries to outdo everybody else. The spread ends up being totally out of control.
  23. It was fine. I wish he had actually tried to evade some of the gunshots a little bit, but whatever. Unpopular opinion time: the best of all the Batman fight sequences is Batman's rescue of Martha Kent in Batman v. Superman.
