When did women first start to vote? wat year?
1920- wyoming was the first state to let women vote. the first year not many women voted, but afterwards the number of women's votes started to increase.
Rather than contesting the right to privacy, could a state challenge Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court based on the right to life? If granted, could this overturn the effects of Roe without denying its original reasoning?
I would be queezy basing it on the “right to life” IMHO that would be just as bad as the lefts abuse of necessary and proper phrasing in the Constitution. Both are part of ,.,.for the lack of a better word…mission statement parts of the Constitution not an actual enumerated authority as if the rest of the document is subservient to that one phrase . The right to life if it exists is not an absolute as clearly capital punishment is legal . Roe VS Wade is one of the worst examples of judicial legislation I have ever seen . Only someone willing to pull unicorns can find the right to privacy in the 14th amendment . You may want a right to privacy other than what exists in the 4th amendment but you need to have an amendment to do that. Cant make it up out of whole cloth . The ruling has not been undated in almost 45 years like the original ruling envisioned with “viability” another isomorphic benchmark . It clearly was a decision not based on law but one where the decisions came first and rational latter
How do you think the Supreme Court will change if Brett Kavanaugh is approved by the Senate?
We currently have a ridiculous system whereby it is far easier to get someone appointed, for life—to one of our highest offices in the nation—than it is to get them removed.Even if Kavanaugh is confirmed and then impeached, he need not resign. It would require a 2/3 Senate supermajority to unseat him.If Kavanaugh is confirmed to the SCOTUS, I anticipate that the SCOTUS will become far more partisan than it is, currently.Persons who see Roe v. Wade simply as a decision that allows abortions fail to grasp the actual question at hand in Roe v. Wade. Some recommend that Roe v. Wade should be overturned and that abortion issues ought to be resolved legislatively. Roe v. Wade was a decision that the state does not have the primary interest in whether a pregnancy is carried full term, that the citizen has the primary interest, and that this decision ought to be made with a physician free from state influence.Those who don’t understand Roe v. Wade have fervent beliefs that the ruling was outside the bounds of SCOTUS authority, and even accuse the SCOTUS of “establishing law.”What they fail to realize is that Roe v. Wade does not just protect citizens from state interference if they seek to terminate pregnancies, but the ruling also prevents states from terminating wanted pregnancies, over citizen objections.To that point, Kavanaugh, himself, recently ridiculed a decision to permit one woman who was mentally challenged to carry her pregnancy to full term.Eugenicists are not historically in favor of citizens having the primary right to decide whether a baby is carried full term.
