Good article. Too bad we often ignore it in the modern era.

Lots of God talk in that version of history. Pretty sure the founders were very wary of church and state. You mad about the abortion ruling being struck down I assume?

Well, in one fell swoop, SCOTUS just negated states' 10th Amendment rights, and women's 14th Amendment right to the equal protection of states' medical and facilities standards for centers that perform surgical procedures, while not also stating that state standards should be struck down for surgical procedures performed on men, as well.

SCOTUS has done a lot to destroy Constitutional rights. Why? SCOTUS Justices are required to take an oath stating:

"I, _________, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..."

Repeating misinformation doesn't make it a fact. You brag about your success, use it to push forth your agenda and views to take it back to the Supreme Court. Otherwise you are wrong until proven right.

Let's look at the facts, shall we?

Read the relevant parts of the 10th and 14th Amendments yourself, respectively:

States' right to legislate medical and facilities standards: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

Women's right to equal protection: No state shall... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The SCOTUS recent ruling striking down TX legislated medical and facilities standards for facilities that perform surgical procedures on women only (but not men) violates both Amendments, which is also a violation of the Oath the SCOTUS Justices swore before they were permitted to execute the duties of their appointed office:

"I, _________, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..."

He defends the federalists, defends Lincoln, mentions "anarchy" as if it's a terrible thing, and repeats the false idea that the U.S. is a country of freedom and liberty. It used to be, relative to the rest of the world, but not anymore.

Again. That's your interpretation of the facts, you may not like it but the Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter. You should post that message to them.
