That time when Kamala pressed Kavanaugh on whether he agreed that LGBTQ had the right to marry.

Thank you. end.
So this testimony UNDER OATH would say to me if he follows both the precedence[s] he cites
He won't answer and he won't vote to change the precedence of the decision.

(6,213 posts)He said it was settled law.
Stare decisis is the policy of the court to stand by precedent; the term is but an abbreviation of stare decisis et non quieta movere"to stand by and adhere to decisions and not disturb what is settled". Consider the word "decisis". The word means, literally and legally, the decision.

They will uphold the 'admitting privileges' case, ensuring that many women can't get an abortion.

Bettie
(16,129 posts)June Medical Services v. Russo concerns a Louisiana law requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a local clinic. Louisiana legislators and abortion opponents say the measure is meant to protect patients. But abortion-rights advocates argue that such laws have no medical purpose and are simply aimed at creating more red tape to ultimately shut clinics down. And if the Supreme Court upholds the Louisiana law, clinics not just in Louisiana but around the country could close as a result.
Basically a way to make abortion, if not illegal, impossible to get in some states.
BComplex
(8,067 posts)the whole thing sucks, and I can't see how the court can uphold this. How can any "clinic" survive (whether it's for abortions or outpatient surgeries) if they have to have admitting privileges to a hospital on demand. This could put every kind of clinic in a difficult position.

(13,622 posts)anything that directly benefits the wealthy, but the really powerful people only care about the evangelicals and lower class whites so far as they can use them.
I remember Gary Bauer, he was a prominent evangelical back in the late 80's and 90's. He was on with Bob Novak after republicans took the House from Clinton. He was pushing the usual agenda and Novak was like, "easy there Gary, let us get a republican president and tax cuts, then maybe we'll get around to school prayer and abortion."

Some would say we do it every time we go to work. No that's voluntary, that's what you're paid to do. I mean who you are, how you see yourself, your identity.

(3,404 posts)Where religious freedom was meant As the freedom to worship Whichever God you choose, the religious right wants the freedom to impose their religious views and their religions laws upon their employees and customers, which yes is in fact a violation of the employees civil liberties.

gratuitous
(82,849 posts)Congress wrote a law. The Supreme Court interpreted that law based on the language of the law.
Or is it the position of the Federalist Society that for every law they pass, Congress has to pass an additional "Yes, we really mean it" law? I know that worked in the Shelby County case, where the majority penned the startling declaration that the authorization and reauthorization of Title V of the Voting Rights Act by Congress was highly suspicious and ultimately invalid. The clincher for the majority opinion was the unanimous or near-unanimous vote time and again to maintain Title V, which in their fevered minds meant that Congress was being bullied by the voters Title V was meant to protect, and that it shouldn't really be the law at all.
Considering how disastrous Shelby County worked out in practice, with challenges to Republican rat-fucking with the ballot going to the Supreme Court instead of being invalidated before an election by the Department of Justice, maybe the Supremes have decided they don't want to be deciding all kinds of these problems anymore. Certainly Chief Justice Roberts, who declared the original day of jubilee that racism in these here United States is dead and gone forever, grew tired very quickly of having the perform the duties of the Civil Rights Division every time Republicans thought up a new way to disenfranchise eligible voters that they didn't want voting.

(58,785 posts)be upset about this?
They're riding the tiger of the RW passions they've used to fuel their rise, but for the most part those aren't their big passions. Although there's plenty of overlap between the giant powers behind the Republican Party, the kleptocrats' interests are very different from those of the Christian dominionists, whose interests overlap but are not the same as those of hard-core social/white power conservatives.
Once they got rid of us, they'd be battling each other for power. A theocracy that took power could destroy the billionaire class a lot more quickly and ruthlessly than Democrats in a democracy could. Who knows? Might not even leave them their heads.
ibegurpard
(16,685 posts)As happy as I am about this decision i'd trade it in a heartbeat for a Citizens United ruling that went the other way.
That way we could still be fighting for equality on all fronts on an equal playing field instead of relying on the whims or noblesse oblige of the rich and powerful.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)civil rights has evolved and strengthened over the past 150 years, creating a history of accelerating advances. To continue that, we need our courts to continue the philosophy of a living constitution that reflects the evolving beliefs of the nation at large. And we're perilously close to losing that.

Their purpose is to ensure the rule of Corporations and the Oligarchy.
It's what the Federalist are really about too.
A few Civil Rights cases won't change that.
