Don't waste time trying to overturn Dobbs. Just codify abortion.

Personhood, while we're at it; because no other artificial entity like a corporation should have rights that occlude individual human and civil rights. There is no democracy when a $ = a vote.

I appreciate Justice Breyer's candor. A trait I admire is he is not afraid to say "I'm not going to answer that question," rather than dissemble and lie. I wish he hadn't retired - he's sharp as a tack, and possesses wisdom the current Court seems to lack.

@Patmorgan235Us Месяц назад

He retired at the right time. He had his time on the court and didn't want to be like RBG holding out to so long she was replaced by someone with the opposite values. Ketanji Brown Jackson is also an sharp and excellent jurist and look to be doing well to live up to Justice Breyer legacy.

Welker asked the right questions. She’s just not clever enough to ask them in a way that she got more insightful answers. If she asked questions that didn’t cover current cases in front of the court, Breyer gave very interesting answers. Ask the same topic but use past cases or hypothetical ones. Even then, Breyer is no dummy and will be careful in his answers.

No, my disagreement is that Roberts believes, that he is more than the Supreme Court Justin! , Rather , he’s the chief of a “supreme government”, Further, has quite openly said so

There doesn't have to be a law on abortion. Canada has no law. Canada treats abortion the same as any other medical procedure. You want a law? Pass a law that medical practitioners are the people who make medical decisions in consultation with their patients.

Wasn’t the constitution supposed to be a framework for how we govern ourselves? It wasn’t intended to outline our rights, that was an afterthought to get adopted. It was a living framework. The laws under it should fall within the framework, changing with the times.

@brianbevard7815 13 дней назад

Sure it is possible. The hard part is finding an actual path to regrant the right without looking at vague and fuzzy shapes in the constitition.

@freedomfighterletsgobrandon 10 дней назад

How about just letting the People vote in order to grant actual rights to abortion to their state constitutions, as it is happening right now? There is no need for Judges to legislate from the bench on the issue of abortion. It is actually prohibited for a Judge to legislate from the bench, because seperation of powers. The power to legislate belongs to Congress and the State Legislatures, not the Courts and Judes with lifetime appointment, who cannot be voted out by the People.

At first I respected Justice Breyer's clear refusal to weigh in on current cases, but as the interview progressed it became clear that he truly has no issue with holding immense power in a lifelong position; that he opposes the transparency cameras would give the court discussions; that he will not speak openly about the obvious corruption of the court (and how could he, when he did not choose to do so while he was working there); that even in the face of leaks and ethics breaches like Thomas not recusing himself he does not think a code of ethics is necessary. The underlying philosophy here is a love of power., no matter how much its misuse damages democracy.

This conversation was pointless when it comes to analyzing the court and court cases (why you would bring an X judge)

@mysteriousth1ef Месяц назад

Did you actually watch the whole thing

@susan174 Месяц назад

The conversation was invaluable in my eyes. It wasn’t about refuting or providing support for particular viewpoints. Justice Breyer provided information about making judicial (nonpartisan) decisions to maintain fidelity to constitutional principles. As US citizens, many of us lack information about how the system is intended to work and the constraints on the 3 branches of government ( in this case, the judicial branch).
