And these are just the issues that draw the most attention. In many respects, the most important right-wing agenda item for the judiciary is the undermining of the regulatory state.
Now I realize that the Trumpers will consider the above to be a dream come true, but if and when all those decisions take place, and if Trump continues to pull away from our traditional allies and befriend our enemies, I wonder that the overall reaction will be by voters in 2020 or 2024?
Here’s a tweet from liberal law professor Lawrence Tribe.
Quote:
If SCOTUS overturns Roe v. Wade in 2019 or 2020, I’d predict a massive backlash: Dems would win the presidency and both the House and Senate in Nov 2020, and Congress would enact a law adding 2 seats to SCOTUS in 2021 or 2022. Remember there’s no constitutional magic in nine.
i think everything you posted and linked to is just the warped imagination of a trump hating liberal. there have been plenty of chances to overturn roe v wade, and other issues, and it hasnt happened.
the scotus is loathe to overturn previous ruling, unless the previous rulings were bad ones to begin with.

correct.
Now I do think Roe v Wade will return to the restrictions in place in the years directly after passage, meaning I do expect a 20 week time limit, approx, on abortions.

What makes you think all Trumpers think Abortion should be illegal? Most of the ones I know don't. I've known many Conservative women who have had abortions.
Most Repubs like Trump are actually very Moderate.
Big fallacy spread by Dems to motivate their base.
Why not wait until the court actually acts to panic? Is President Trump doing such a great job that we have to invent future predictions of what might happen to criticize him now?
From what I've read, it would be unusual for the SCOTUS to overturn what has been set as past precedent by an earlier court. It has been done, of course. Plessy vs. Ferguson, which upheld the constitutionality of segregation, was eventually overturned.
As long as polling shows significant opposition of abortion bans, it is unlikely to change. That's how things work in this country. In 2000 there were overwrought cries from Democrats that W Bush would ban abortion. I wrote a letter to my local paper saying, no, Bush is not going to do that. It turned out I was right.
That's a lot of drama considering no one has even been nominated yet, let alone confirmed and repealing amendments and overturning previous decisions. When they asked Roberts during his confirmation hearing how he would rule on a case involving abortion (I'm paraphrasing now but), he'd have to read it first although he didn't see anything changing because it's very old well established law. In other words he'd rule on it based on the constitution and past precedence (that's already been well established)...he'd rule on law, not write law.
I would hope that whom ever Trump nominates will treat the law the same way and not judge based on their idea that the constitution is a living document that evolves and needs to be reinterpreted over time (like a more recent appointee). I might be a little off on that description but, know it's some thing along those lines.
BTW, I would never want a child I was responsible for to be aborted but, that's just me...I believe others should be allowed to have their choice. I have to admit though, I hate it when I see it being used like birth control.

befriend our enemies??? you mean being diplomatic and stir away from wars. Yeah, we can't have that....we need endless wars and endless occupations.
Pull away from our traditional allies? you mean re-do our trade deals and immigration system that has been bad for wages and jobs for middle America?.......yeah I'm sure most Americans will be outraged that finally we have a President that puts Americans first and actually does what he promised compared to previous Presidents.
the new yorker and liberals are hystericals.......the kennedy legacy? LOL
