No less of a pro-choice advocate than the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg was consistently critical of the Supreme Court’s seminal Roe vs Wade decision which protected a pregnant woman’s ability to have a legal abortion. Ginsburg supported the legal protection for a woman’s right to choose, of course, but she also suggested that the

According to Chief Justice Roberts, the Constitution makes it easy for presidents to violate the law, but reversing such violations difficult -- especially for their successors. Suppose President Donald Trump decided to create a nationwide right to carry guns openly. He could declare that he would not enforce federal firearms laws, and that a new “Trump permit” would free any holder of state

‘Roe v. Wade’ May Be Closer Than Ever to Being Overturned, but There’s Still a Long Way to Go
There’s a lot of hope that the inclusion of Justice Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court means that America is closer than ever to removing the highly polarizing Roe v. Wade court decision. If that happens, the legality of abortion would revert back to the states. However, overturning Roe won’t mean much if hearts and minds of people aren’t changed as well.

Amy Coney Barrett and the Alternative Elite
There’s something deeper and stranger about the opposition to Amy Coney Barrett than to other nominees. It’s not just the way she might change the ideological weight of the court, as a conservative replacing the liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It’s not exactly her faith either, although that’s part of it. One senses that there’s an unsayable aspect to it. It’s not just her religion — she’s

Judge Amy Coney Barrett was officially nominated to fill the vacancy left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Saturday. This move has all the makings of a total liberal meltdown. RBG is dead. Trump is still president. Trump names RBG’s successor, and it’s a conservative Catholic woman.
