Ginsburg questions 1973 abortion ruling's timing

Heart attack... I actually agree with something Ginsburg said.

"Alluding to the persisting bitter debate over abortion, Ginsburg said the justices of that era could have delayed hearing any case like Roe while the state-by-state process evolved. Alternatively, she said, they could have struck down just the Texas law, which allowed abortions only to save a mother's life, without declaring a right to privacy that legalized the procedure nationwide.

"The court made a decision that made every abortion law in the country invalid, even the most liberal," Ginsburg said. "We'll never know whether I'm right or wrong ... things might have turned out differently if the court had been more restrained."

It wasn't the timing,
It was the flawed ruling, itself

Man when they say a seat for LIFE!..They are not kidding!...ENOUGH of these DINOSAUR'S!...All of em!...America needs new people!...Ditto for the Appointee Judges!.....They all should be put in a FORMALDEHYDE JARS!...for future generations to see ,old Feeble people,,with Uncle Al on their shoulders,Running our lives!!...this "ELDERS" crap has gone far enough.....The SUPREME COURT is one OLD FART FACTORY!!....

There has to be limits!...When is enough enough with these drooling,pant pissers.Bloomer shiters,,pablum eaters..Constipated old FARTS!!

AMERICA NEEDS FRESH MINDS!!

waht a beuteaful chic! ;)

This means the marriage equality fight will be left to the states for the time being. Don't expect the SCOTUS to take any cases any time soon.

That's good news for California, since the SCOTUS is unlikely to accept the Prop 8 case.

So what do you think about the 20% of Republicans who plan to vote for Obama? You never said.
