Re: Philosophy of Constitutional Law

I notice the creation of laws that are not only emotional but ones that are impossible to enforce.  I say that without being able to recall an example off hand so take it with a grain of salt.

.  I'll give you one historical example here in my state.  Beginning in the Reagan era, the eighties, some ten years after Roe v Wade, my state legislators passed a law that did not make abortion illegal, but saddled it with many ridiculous prerequisites that were clearly designed to limit or truncate the ability of many women to obtain an abortionSomeone immediately put together a test case, it went through the state appellate courts to the state supreme court and the law was voided in the court's Opinion.



The next year, they passed another anti-abortion law, almost word for word but with a few changes.  Again the test case, again the legal process, the appeals, and again the supremes tossed out the new law.  



For something like five or six consecutive years, the legislature wasted money in this way.  It wasn't even the case that the group of legislators sponsoring and re-sponsoring the bills really believed in what they were doing, they happened to be from districts where the electorate was outraged over Roe v Wade and they were just unabashedly pandering to the voters in order to get re-elected.  



It didn't end until the Dems got control of a key committee which just stopped passing the new bills out of committee and let them die there.

That's your opinion only, but why is this not in Politics?

I still like Herman, for now anyway. Don't agree with his bullying lately though.

He was a great guy and good member.



He deserved to be a mod.



But something has changed, and not for the good.
