    Your phrasing is strange and reads as though you don't understand the three bodies of government. SCOTUS finds (or rules) (constitutional/not constitutional.) Your usage of the word pass is strange in this context.

    When a law is found unconstitutional by SCOTUS - it has failed to pass through the gate of legitimacy.

    Yes. It's just very weird phrasing, as in, you are the first person I've ever seen describing what SCOTUS does as passing anything.

    How is Roe v Wade not an example of this?

    It has succeeded to get back full power?

    The law banning abortion IMO was unconstitutional - therefore the court is acting correctly - doing its job by getting rid of bad law.

    Full Power ? This is not a black and white issue. What is "Full Power" - this would be an authoritarian dictatorship will total control. We are obviously not there. What is perhaps shocking however, is that many of the factors that proceeded these authoritarian regimes are now in play.

    The Constitution does not support abortion other than empowering 5 unelected lawyers to tell us it does

    While I'm no big fan of the SCOTUS, I do see the need for it. Decisions they make are interpretations of the constitution. The problem is they mostly vote down party lines. Legal issues will continue to surface that involve things that the constitution doesn't mention. That's why it was written in a way that can be interpreted, hence the need for the SCOTUS.

    Any power granted with good intentions can be abused

    Including the unelected judges who can serve for life

    Oh I agree. Do you think I'm looking forward to the next 20+ years of a conservative SCOTUS?

    No they aren't. They vote along party lines. Stop acting like your tribe doesn't do it.

    I want to like you, but saying conservative judges aren't "activist" is ignorant. Every judge has a leaning.

    He was a swing vote. That is over now. Conservatives will rule the SCOTUS now.

    When they rule in the way you like you will be cheering.

    It's as if he has no idea of the scope that his office entails.

    This isn't a business deal. You can't sell your stock and start over.

    Trump is our President. He is an embarrassment.

    There is a conservative majority on the SCOTUS now.

    Do you label them "activist" when you like the ruling?

    I like you Mac, but when you talk to me, you better bring your A game.

    I enjoy the rule of law. If you continue to be partisan I cannot continue with you.

    Argue the law. Otherwise you are boring to me, as is this site.

    Abortion and gay marriage was not the rule of law till unelected lawyers on ths SC made it law

    So 325 million Americans are ruled over by 5 liberals who answer to no one

    I thought I could talk law with you. Your morality has no place in law.

    Try to keep up. Seriously, I know law, and I would love to talk it with somebody here.
