South Dakota recently passed a bill outlawing most abortions. Now of course such a bill is almost certainly unconstitutional according to court precedent from Roe vs Wade, and the bill is likely to be immediately challenged and prevented from taking effect.
But that’s the idea.
See the same people who whine and complain about black-robe-wearing judicial activist judges who legislate from the bench are the very people who want to get their law in front of a sufficient number of black-robe-wearing judicial activist judges who they hope will legislate from the bench in their favor. Right-wing anti-choice conservatives have picked this fight in South Dakota because they’re hoping that from that district they will find judges who are sympathetic to their cause. What they’re doing is basically judge shopping.
They’ve picked this fight because they’re hoping to get their law challenged all the way to the Supreme Court, where they hope that the now-conservative-slanted court will uphold the law rather than overturn it. Or better still, they’d love to see the Supreme Court uphold their law and reverse the Roe vs Wade decision.
RIGHT ON MAN
The use of the tactics you despise to combat the tactics you despise persists the tactics you despise.
All should learn this lesson, including Repuglicans, Demobrats, and certain self-righteous dancers who hassle you for invading their space but are perfectly happy with invading yours. It’s a valuable lesson for all: karma, pure and simple.
What you create: that you have created. Whether it’s judicial activism or dance floor territorialism.
