Pretty much this. If our right to privacy hinged on Roe v. Wade, well, I hate to break it to you, but your right was cobbled together with string and chewing gum and would be open to attack for the foreseeable future.

Far better to have Congress actually pass laws that clearly define privacy protections, that then make it easy for the courts to rule on.



It doesn't matter what Congress passes, this corrupt hyper-partisan court will do whatever the right wants.


Can you provide some examples of this?


You comment bears no resemblance to reality.


The supreme court gets to pick and choose their cases. They didn't have to take up Roe v Wade. Why did they?


Was the court “hyper-partisan” when it ruled on Roe v Wade 50 years ago? Did it do the bidding of the “left”?

Like I said, just because you don’t agree with their rulings doesn’t mean the court is “hyper-partisan” and does the “bidding of the right”.


The new conservative majority are aggressive culture warriors. They lose legitimacy with every decision. They will be around for decades, half the country will hate them more every decision until something in our democracy breaks. But that was probably the point when Republicans appointed 3 of the Bush v Gore lawyers, to poke and anger the other side.


Someone sounds like they need a break from social media!


Thanks for the non-condescending advice. Your political opponents are irrational and manipulated while your side is coolly rational and informed.
