Maybe some token tinkering on term but nothing else. They do not have to. All they need to do is what they have done 5-4 here. They have allowed the bounty hunter law to stand and Row v Wade just doesn't matter there is a work around that allows states to ignore the law under precedent. The part of the prosecution allowed to continue cannot impact this. The framework has already been laid for the US Supreme Court to make future decisions regarding Casey & Roe v. Wade.....By it's most recent 8-1 decision, it opens the door for any State to draw up & pass Texas Style Abortion Laws/Restrictions, free from any Federal Government Court intervention, effectively returning the Power to Regulate Abortion back to the States....as was prior to Roe. https://imgur.com/CF8NdYQ.gif Yes but only as long as they enforce these laws using bounty hunters in civil litigation. The government itself is still impacted under Roe v Wade. Very dangerous legislation. Lots of problems. If the court takes the next step and act on Roe v Wade they introduce another problem for themselves if this ridiculous unconstitutional decision has not damaged them enough. Several Judges including all of the last 3 have the commitment regarding Roe v Wage on the record under oath to the senate.
These Judges could be impeached for perjury over a Roe v Wade decision. Been there.....it's been tried.....a potential Justice's confirmation testimony regarding a position is merely his/her opinion.
Opinions are not inescapable facts.....Opinions are not ironclad representations of truth.....
Besides, any Judge is capable of changing their minds, or point of view, regarding their opinions on any precedent.....that's a proven fact.
Good thought though......but that dog just won't hunt....it's eyes have been gouged out long ago....
I do not see the democrats going that way (they hate to win) However if they did you may be surprised. Just as a reminder......an Impeachment, as you have already witnessed with Trump 2x.....an Impeachment is merely a charge or charges presented by the House of Representatives.....like charges by a Grand Jury in a criminal case.....accusations that must then be proven successfully to the US Senate before any actual action is taken against the impeached defendant.......removal from office, etc.....
♢ Only One (1) United States Supreme Court Justice was ever Impeached, Samuel Chase back in the very early 1800's, & he was later found not guilty of any wrongdoing whatsoever ....acquitted.... by the US Senate.
Political witch hunts never have worked well for the House of Representatives.....but they always put on a good show!
The SCOTUS can be reformed and it can be packed. Overturning Roe v Wade will increase the likelihood one or the other will happen at some point in the future. Reformed......in the present political climate???
What bi-partisan 'reform(s)' do you think would be a sure-fire hit, noting the present political climate?
IMHO, The Court can only be "Packed", & to do that you need the President to nominate, & a US Senate to approve the President's Nominations.......Today's Senate is split 50-50, & using the Vice President as a tie breaker for the democ-rats won't happen......Joe Manchin is on record that he won't put up for any Court "Packing", & that if attempted he will side with the Republicans.....I believe he wouldn't be alone either......therefore "Packing" the Supreme Court, while theoretically possible, is highly improbable because they won't be able to reach a majority.....especially a majority that would stand up to a 'filibuster', which would require a 'super majority' of 60 votes to overcome. . It Read what I wrote again. At some point in the future, the SCOTUS will be reformed because of what it has become.
