Originally posted by Roy View PostSo instead of making a case against abortion etc that would persuade existing judges to adopt your views and change the laws, you're appointing new judges that already agree with you and who will change the laws regardless of whether there is any reason to do so.
Your entire strategy is an admission that you have no legitimate arguments and all you can do is subvert the legal process, and you voted for Trump because he promised to do so.
As for the claim there are no legitimate arguments, there's plenty of legitimate arguments against Roe v. Wade, some offered by people who were strongly pro-choice.
For that matter, what I find notable about this argument is that what you decry is exactly what people always do with legislators. A legislator isn't buying your argument for the passing or repeal of a law? You elect a new legislator. No one would claim that's somehow wrong. Aha, you say, but that's the legislature. Courts work differently. Well, they're supposed to, but in a case like Roe v. Wade where they clearly took the job of legislature and effectively enacted laws, you have to treat them like a legislature (seriously, the rules they set up in that case concerning what you could restrict and when during pregnancy read more like an enacted law than a court decision).

I suppose someone could try to make the argument that abortion violates natural/moral law, which would trump even the Constitution--but that's a whole argument to itself.

Or is this a reference to Thirteenth Amendment? Because that, like any amendment, was only partially federal given you had to get a whole lot of states to sign up for it.
Political forecasters think fewer than half of states would actually ban it if Roe fell.

'Historic milestone': Senate confirms 150th Trump judicial nominee
The U.S. Senate confirmed President Trump’s 150th judicial nominee Wednesday, helping to fulfill the president’s campaign promise to remake the federal bench with a conservative bent.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham called the number of confirmations a “historic milestone.”
“These conservative judicial appointments will impact our nation for years to come,” the South Carolina Republican said.
Six district court nominees won confirmation Wednesday, bringing the president’s total number of appointed judges to the lower federal courts to 105. Mr. Trump has also appointed 43 circuit court nominees and two Supreme Court justices since taking office.
