I do not have trust in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court has always been in the pocket of men — rich, white, powerful, men. At the time that the U.S. Constitution was written corporations didn’t exist. That is why the term corporation is not mentioned in the Constitution.
Exactly! People look at Row and say “Oh well, it doesn’t affect me so I don’t care!” But when states (as Oklahoma does) start saying that life begins at conception and the Pill prevents a fertilized egg from being implanted and therefore is an abortion, it will effect many, many more! There are those who believe that even married couples shoukd not be allowed to practice birth control. And it won’t stop there! Even Justice Thomas may find himself in trouble if certain states decide that they are going to outlaw marriages between different races. Imagine if he finds that she snd his wife are no longer welcomed in Virginia, Tennessee, or Arkansas because he is black and she is white. Leaving things up to individual states is a slippery slope! Imagine if The Old South states decides to role back Civil Rights? Or, God forbid, what if some of those old white “planters” decide tgat slavery wasn’t such a bad thing! Who would stop them? Especially if the vote is taken from women, people of color, etc. Imagine if Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, etc., decides that Native Americans are really NOT citizens and they decide to break all the treaties made in the last 200 years? (Remember, Native Americans weren’t considered citizens until 1924!). Like you, I am terrified of what our beloved country will become!
