Thread Name: BS: Roe v. Wade
Subject: RE: BS: Roe v. Wade
To amend the Constitution, 2/3 of both Houses of Congress must vote for the amendment (won't happen soon). Then it must be ratified by 3/4 of the states (ditto).

On average, it takes four years to ratify an Amendment.

Like the other rights that Thomas wants srutinized, Roe v. Wade is based on the 14th Amendment. It's been sustained by courts about a dozen times, notably by the Supreme Court in 1989.

Now yesterday's decision states that the reasoning behind Roe was "weak," and all the judges and who upheld it (appointed by Democratic and Republican Presidents) were essentially fools.

The decision also says that the 1973 decision "divided America."

Presumably unlike this one.
