In reply to the discussion: PoliticsGirl: There's nothing in the Constitution that says SCOTUS is the final word on what's constitutional [View all]Kid Berwyn
(17,772 posts)39. Thank you! The English speaking peoples have such a complicated history.
But cutting through the Gordian knot of it all is the fact that in the United States of America all people are created equal and are equal under the law. First the kings didn't like it. Then the slave-owners didn't like it. And now slave-masters of Big Money don't like it.
I like the idea that no man is above the law. That includes the likes of Trump, DeVos/Prince, Musk and Thiel.

This is what the criminal USSC6 fear most! They know they do not have the constitution on their side.

My opinion is that the Fourth covers a woman's right to control her own body, thus abortion is her choice.
