Two observations on the expected Supreme Court Roe vs. Wade decision:
Where the Right Will Strike Next After Its Big Abortion Win [Click] “We’re about to have a country that has radically different laws in radically different states,” Molly says. “And I think Republicans are extremely excited about that. I don’t think they’ve completely explored all the consequences.”
I keep finding myself thinking that this could be the most consequential thing to come out of Washington since the Fugitive Slave Act because of its expansive nature. Usually the Court tries to decide matters on the narrowest possible grounds, but not this time. It was bad enough when they took it upon themselves to appoint the President, but this is far worse. I expect that I will live to see the Supreme Court restructured. Here is someone else thinking along the same lines: The Supreme Court’s legitimacy crisis isn’t about the leak [Click]
The judiciary was designed to ride herd on the legislative and judicial branch. Individual natural persons, who govern, are no subject to dirctives, other than the prohibition against causing injury to another. What was not anticipated was the extnt to which the establishment of subsidiary corporations would provide access to controlling various segments of the population. Note that the legislative effort currently under consideration does not concern patients; rather, it is medical care providers whose susceptibility to govrnmental supervision is one of the main arguments against single payer health care. Of course what has not been pointed out, sufficienly, is that corporate medical enterprise is already subject to legislative interference. Equality is not a boon because equality has nohing to do with quality nor does it guarantee care.
