I'm softening that position. However, he then added that abortion is murder. Asked how he'd like to change the law to further restrict access to abortions, Trump replied, "The laws are set now on abortion and that's the way they're going to remain until they're changed." "I would've preferred states' rights," he added. "I think it would've been better if it were up to the states. But right now, the laws are set....At this moment, the laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way." "Do you think abortion is murder?" Dickerson asked. "I have my opinions on it, but I'd rather not comment on it," Trump replied. "You said you were very pro-life," Dickerson followed up. "Pro-life means that...abortion is murder." "I mean, I do have my opinions on it. I just don't think it's an appropriate forum," said Trump. "But you don't disagree with that proposition, that it's murder?" Dickerson asked. "No, I don't disagree with it," Trump eventually replied. Okay. As long as you're giving the proper amount of thought to these issues. There was once a very intelligent man who said, "The moment Trump gets into trouble, he's going to start pandering like crazy to liberals, because he just doesn't know any better." Here we see Trump finally realizing the damage he caused to himself with Michelle Fields and Heidi Cruz, plus his own goal on abortion, so his response, to get back those women he cherishes so much, is to say "Hey, let's leave the abortion laws as they are. But privately, I think abortion is murder. FYI." I seriously can't think of a worse political position: On one hand, he's telling the pro-life people I'm not changing any abortion laws. Fine, okay, most presidents won't try, but few are as upfront in telling a key part of the conservative movement they're getting the goose-egg. Simultaneously, on the other hand, he pisses off the pro-choice people, by telling them that, while he won't be changing the abortion laws, that abortion is murder. It's lose-lose. With a bonus lose for it being dreadfully obvious that he simply hasn't given the issue a lick of thought and is now just basically button-mashing (as Allah puts it) in hopes that some combination of inputs gets him past the boss on this level.

What is missing is not a legal argument but political backbone. I agree. But again I remind you that the issue decided in RvW was personhood not life. Science and medicine do not have much too contribute with respect to the issue of personhood and likely never will. That is why I am not surprised that little of a significant consequence has been attempted to force a revisit of RvW on this point. As for political backbone to take on this issue, where are you going to find that? Dollar Donald squealed like a pig after he screwed the pooch on his consequences for women comment. IDM that some women might be a victim as well, but all are not and other than in forced abortion they are a consenting party, if not the prime mover for the abortion. Do you think that anyone could elected to any public office with a campaign position of let's make abortion illegal again AND let's have some punishment for women that, save for medical and rape reasons, initiate the process of abortion and freely consent to it? I don't think that you are living in a different reality than mine on the stae of mind of voters on those questions. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2016-04-03   14:01:46 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #102.

Those issues are not in the Bill of Rights. I Correct, slavery is embedded in the body of the original text of the Constitution which passed by the convention and sent to the states for ratification. The Bill of Rights was added after the fact of the convention and was not part of the original document. "Article. I. Section. 2. The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature. No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen." Do you contest that at in and around the late 1780s when the Constitution was passed and ratified that black slaves were not considered citizens of the U.S.? "Article 1 Section. 9. The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person." Are you contesting that the Articles of the U.S. Consitution permitted the continued importation of slaves through 1806? "Article III. Section. 2. The judicial Power {off SCOTUS} shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;— between a State and Citizens of another State,—between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects." What do you think Section 9 means? It seems clear that the judicial power of SCOTUS extends well into the workings of the respective laws of the states. The purpose of the Bill of Rights was to place specific limits on government power, not just federal government power. Here's the full text of the BoR "The Bill of Rights – Full Text Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Amendment II A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Amendment III No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. Amendment VII In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law. Amendment VIII Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. Amendment X 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." Only Amendments 1, 7, 9 and 10 are solely addressed to the Federal government. For example, it seems pretty clear in Amendment 5 prohibits a state from waiving habeas corpus or waive protection against double jeopardy. And it seems pretty clear that Amendment 6 prohibits a state from denying the accused of the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. All of these protections against a state denying these rights to a person were in effect when the BoR was ratified. They didn't have to wait until the 14th Amendment was ratified. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2016-04-03   15:09:28 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #105.

To: misterwhite (#104) You may also be interest in this as it addresses the Fed's Constitutional right to regulate state activities from the git-go, prior to the BoR. "Commerce Clause The Commerce Clause refers to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes.” The Constitution enumerates certain powers for the federal government; the Tenth Amendment provides that any powers that are not enumerated in the Constitution are reserved for the states. Congress has often used the Commerce Clause to justify exercising legislative power over the activities of states and their citizens, leading to significant and ongoing controversy regarding the balance of power between the federal government and the states. The Commerce Clause has historically been viewed as both a grant of congressional authority and as a restriction on states’ powers to regulate. The “dormant” Commerce Clause refers to the prohibition, implied in the Commerce Clause, against states passing legislation that discriminates against or excessively burdens interstate commerce. Early on, the Supreme Court ruled that the power to regulate interstate commerce encompassed the power to regulate interstate navigation. Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. 1 (1824) {N.B. - well before Amendment 14.} потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2016-04-03   15:35:56 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #108.

Only interstates activities (or those actions that affect interstate activities). It is obvious that you did not read the link. The words interstate activities are not in the Constitution but the words interstate commerce are, and as with the word person the Constitution does not define what is meant by commerce. But the definition seem to get more and more broad as time went by. We can not have a rational dialogue if you do not even ready what the Constitution says. So here it is: "Article 1, Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;" That is all is says. So from git-go differing interests have advocated all sorts of means of these few Constitutional words. ""The meaning of the word "commerce" is a source of much of the controversy. The Constitution does not explicitly define the word. Some argue that it refers simply to trade or exchange, while others claim that the founders intended to describe more broadly commercial and social intercourse between citizens of different states. Thus, the interpretation of "commerce" affects the appropriate dividing line between federal and state power. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed segregation and prohibited discrimination against African-Americans, was passed under the Commerce Clause in order to allow the federal government to charge non-state actors with Equal Protection violations, which it had been unable to do up to that point because of the Fourteenth Amendment’s limited application to state actors. The Supreme Court found that Congress had the authority to regulate a business that served mostly interstate travelers in Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States. 379 U.S. 241 (1964). It also ruled that the federal civil rights legislation could be used to regulate a restaurant, Ollie’s Barbeque, a family- owned restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama because, although most of Ollie’s customers were local, the restaurant served food which had previously crossed state lines. Katzenbach v. McClung, 379 U.S. 274 (1964)." So tell me, what does interstate commerce mean as used in Art 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2016-04-03   23:14:34 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #115.

I can't. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2016-04-04   11:42:42 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #126.

To: SOSO (#125) "I am wrong that the Interstate Commerce Clause was used to allow federal intervention in civil rights issues? It was, but not directly. Federal civil rights laws were applied to the states because state discrimination laws had a substantial effect on interstate commerce. Heart of Atlanta Motel Inc. v.

So you agree that use of the Interestate Commerce Clause was what the original intended and meant by the clause? My point is that de facto the activities that the Fed claims fall under the ICC have gone far beyond what the FFs intended it to be. But more to the point, within this expanded grab by the Fed it is entirely within the likely that the Fed will use the ICC to regulate abortion activities in general, the enforcement of consequences for the woman in particular. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2016-04-04   13:31:33 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #132. To: vicomte13 (#0) I seriously can't think of a worse political position: On one hand, he's telling the pro-life people I'm not changing any abortion laws. Fine, okay, most presidents won't try, but few are as upfront in telling a key part of the conservative movement they're getting the goose-egg. ARe you still are supporting Trump even though he will not change the abortion laws? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2016-04-04   13:38:15 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #133. To: SOSO (#132) ARe you still are supporting Trump even though he will not change the abortion laws? Yes. The President doesn't make abortion law. Neither does the Congress. The Supreme Court does. Trump will appoint three Scalias, and abortion law will change, in time, maybe. And I support Trump's foreign and military and health care policies. If anybody else is the nominee, the Republicans will lose the election, and then Hillary will name her justices. For all of the skulduggery on the Republican side to deny the nomination to Trump,. he's the only one who can win.

To: SOSO (#131) "So you agree that use of the Interestate Commerce Clause was what the original intended and meant by the clause? " Yes. But in later applications of the Commerce Clause, Congress used the power of Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 (the Necessary and Proper Clause) to make laws allowing them to enforce other powers. For example, in the Shreveport Rate Cases, it was necessary for the government to regulate intrastate rates because they had an effect on interstate rates. misterwhite  posted on  2016-04-04   14:04:27 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #135.
