WOMENS' CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION IN JEOPARDKY
"Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement announcement on Wednesday sparked immediate questions about the future of abortion rights in the United States.
Kennedy, who was a pivotal swing vote in some of the most controversial rulings of the past 30 years, consistently upheld abortion rights during his tenure. But President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to select Supreme Court nominees who would “automatically” overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that established the constitutional right to an abortion."

Trump may not have enough votes to kill Roe v. Wade with just one appointment, but another appointment could have that effect.

How often has SCOTUS reversed itself? Seems like precedence is all.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't somebody with standing have to initiate a suit and then follow any appeals process?

It doesn't reverse itself often, but I does occur more frequently now that in the early years. Start decisis is just a general rule. There are many justifications for overruling precedent.
