(3,818 posts)why I don't think it will be/can be overturned. It would have to be new precedent on the entire amendment.
Women's access to credit and access to her own money, usurping her father, then husband's say so over her paycheck and savings.
You really think Roberts is going to allow THAT nugget to be overturned?
Do you think it is an accident that there is no conversation on overturning the amendment will allow the nearest closest male relative to take over their womenfolk's money and their lady parts?
Oh hell no. You want to see a Real Pussy Riot?
The only thing you hear about it - MSM, even our side of the political conversation - is abortion, i.e., right to privacy in healthcare matters for women. (Though Scalia said there is no right to privacy in the Constitution - okay, but we are now in 1973/2019. I think Ginsberg agrees with that argument.)
Our side needs to address the ENTIRE amendment. That will really be standing up for women.
Also, with these asshole state legislature trying to get the amendment overturned, why can't the Court System not fine the states that keep trying to pass these laws? Go after the particular representative/senator's pocketbook. Betcha they will stop these laws then
