68. Roe was not an amendment

Tue Sep 10, 2024, 04:31 PM

Sep 2024

It was a judicial ruling by 7 of 9 justices, never ratified by Congress or any state, and was controversial every single day it was in effect.

The 22nd amendment was ratified by super-majorities of both Congress and state legislatures and has not been remotely controversial since its incorporation into the Constitution. No one disputes that its adoption was procedurally and legally sound.

The Supreme Court is not going to unilaterally remove it. The very notion is an absurd fantasy.
