I somewhat doubt these people care. It’s not like these kind of common/edge cases weren’t presented already. | ||

Texas is already working to rule that if you're pregnant, you can't leave the state, and with SB8 already in effect, it's only a matter of time Isn't there something in the constitution about freedom of movement for citizens? This is some distopian shit :/ | ||

The states are knowingly passing unconstitutional laws and the Supreme Court ruled that it's allowed when they let SB8 stand. | ||

1) go unbelievably nuclear by Biden pointing out the Supreme Court doesn’t have the ability to enforce their rulings 2) pack the court There’s nothing else really. The Supreme Court is essentially operating as a replacement for congress. Either Biden hands the country over (most likely) or he defends it. There’s nothing else on the table | ||

The Supreme Court ruled Andrew Jackson's plan to relocate the Native Americans was unconstitutional and Andrew Jackson famously told them that they had no way of enforcing their ruling and relocated them anyway. The route the federal government took to relocate the Native Americans became known as The Trail of Tears due to the horrors the Natives suffered. While this isn't exactly the best example, I still think we're reaching a point where the court's legitimacy needs to be challenged and Biden needs to ignore the Supreme Court's rulings. | ||

The problem is the states are doing stuff, and Biden can't stop them from prosecuting people having or helping with abortions.The Supreme Court ruled Andrew Jackson's plan to relocate the Native Americans was unconstitutional and Andrew Jackson famously told them that they had no way of enforcing their ruling and relocated them anyway.
