As Justice Kagan put it, “The current Court is textualist only when being so suits it,” she writes. “When that method would frustrate broader goals, special canons like the ‘major questions doctrine’ magically appear as get out-of-text-free cards.”

The current Supreme Court is Exhibit A for exactly what you describe. That said, do you think that all laws should be made, enforced and interpreted by people who are alive or by those who died 230 years ago?The "living Constitution" doctrine transforms the Constitution from a normative (rules) basis to a prerogative basis for interpretation. The danger is whoever is in charge can interpret laws based on their personal whims (their policy prerogatives). Our entire pluralistic system emanates from the stability afforded by the Constitution.

The memory of the hearings of Clarence Thomas, Robert Bork, Miguel Estrada, and Brett Kavanaugh loom large for Mitch McConnell.McConnell is as hypocritical as they come. Then again, he's a politician. I suppose most of them are. He simply has been the one with the most authority to makes his hypocrisy matter in recent years.
You must REALLY hate Joe Biden. He is the oldest and whitest of them all.I hate them all. Why are a bunch of old white people running the country unchecked?
I have no particular affinity for Biden. He's too old to be president, as Trump is, but I would much rather have Biden because he's an empathetic human being who doesn't lie or try to overthrow the government. I have two young kids. How people in power conduct themselves matters to me. That said, there need to be better options in a couple years than what we have endured the past six.You must REALLY hate Joe Biden.

Did this actually occur? It smells like it was a concocted story. If occurred, it was a rape so why wasn't it reported? Here are ten reasons why this report is suspect.'She's 10': Child Rape Victim's Abortion Denial Sparks Outrage on Twitter

Of course, IMO. Hope to be a realist rather than an absolutist.Let’s assume the story is completely false. That doesn’t change the underlying question of should there be exceptions when such circumstances exist?
Yes, there should be exceptions. Those exceptions should be handled through our elected representatives at the state level.Let’s assume the story is completely false. That doesn’t change the underlying question of should there be exceptions when such circumstances exist?
There is room for compromise.There are no allowances for victims of rape or incest in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee or Texas.
It sounds like you have work to do in South Dakota. The Pro Life people have worked for 50 years to develop grass roots efforts at the local level. The Pro-Abortion people have not. If one wants change, work at the state level and create coalitions for legislation. Democracy is tough.Governor Kristi L. Noem of South Dakota - "I don’t believe a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy.”
The Pro Abortion people have focused primarily on influencing policy at the national level through Supreme Court appointments and at the state level in only the bluest states. Besides screaming about abortion rights, what else have they done? They can't even figure out how to remain relevant in red states. I doubt any of these abortion clinic operators can make a profit without the revenue stream that abortion gives them.Governor Kristi L. Noem of South Dakota - "I don’t believe a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy.”
The Ohio Attorney General clearly states that there is no evidence this rape of a 10 year old occurred. If a doctor had seen the child in Ohio, that doctor would have been obligated to report the situation. Furthermore, Ohio's heart beat law has exceptions to cover situations like this.'She's 10': Child Rape Victim's Abortion Denial Sparks Outrage on Twitter

Assuming arguendo, that they story is true, the rapist was an illegal immigrant let in by the Biden Administration. So, Biden allowed the dirt ball in- he rapes a girl and Biden blames Ohio and the Supreme Court for it.Actually, the story is true. But carry on with the conspiracy theory talk.
EL, always driven by facts here. Perhaps it is true and I spoke too soon. Know how to put things in reverse when facts dictate.Actually, the story is true. But carry on with the conspiracy theory talk.
Man arrested for raping 10-year-old girl from Ohio who reportedly went to Indiana for abortion
A 27-year-old man has been arrested for raping a 10-year-old girl from Ohio who had to travel to Indiana to get an abortion, according to Columbus Police and media reports.www.wtvr.com
I wouldn't say that: here's the original story from the Indy Star, which very clearly explains right at the top that she was 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant at the time she saw a doctor and that Ohio bans abortion after 6 weeks.EL, always driven by facts here. Perhaps it is true and I spoke too soon. Know how to put things in reverse when facts dictate.
Still many unknowns, but one that is not. If the rape happened on June 22 as reported and she had an abortion in Indiana on June 30, it was a needless trip. Ohio law permits abortion through the 6 week of pregnancy.
So even if new info is true, the reporting on this has largely been incorrect and sensationalized...for political purposes.
