re: #413 Political Atheist

Well that’s also true of Roe V Wade, but we get to act on it as law right?

Yes, I’m not sure if that’s the way you meant it, but that’s a great example. Despite Roe vs. Wade, there’s been an astonishing rollback on abortion rights in this country.

“All my hopes” overstates my meaning. For the foreseeable future, we have the ruling to base policy on. The weight of existing law matters. California laws may loosen or tighten. until they actually do, I’m going to shape my writings on the matter accordingly.

That’s fine, but that’d different than saying the issue is ‘resolved’. It’s not. It’s in one current state because of a SC ruling, that could change in the future. Abortion rights aren’t ‘resolved’ either. Nothing is permanent in government.
