@dak879 Agreed.

You do know the justices can be impeached and removed from the supreme court. One was impeached for his federalist leaning.

From some of the decision that are be handed down on the second amendment you would think four justices are twisting the constitution to fit their own beliefs and/or taking orders from the president.

@ClarkKasheta Judges don't necessarily need to be the best and most concise speakers. A judge's skill is his ability to write and reason. Sure, he may question the attorneys in the courtroom, but his ability to answer in a reasoned and concise way isn't the biggest issue because that is typically expressed in written form, where a judge is much more in his element

She sucks. She doesn't know how to answer questions. Make your "yes" "yes" and your "no" "no." She displays no conviction. Rather, she proves to be weak and spineless.

What you have is essentially a tumor......How would you like for someone to be able to tell you that you can't have a tumor removed? My body, my choice......I'd pick at it with a fork.........I could spread it on crackers and eat it with cream cheese.....still, none of your damn business.........

no..im just stating what abortion means to me..and yeah i guess what it really means b/c you cant really blame somebody who did not want to abort...i never said that they all wanted the baby...read my words as i wrote them..i said its a symptom that should be treated period. and i never said i had the right to...but taking another life away isnt right..its worst then taking your own..and it doesnt really make a difference b/c is still life being formed..so what your taking is exactly a life

Comprised of about 500 cells, at this point you might, I mean possibly be able to get a positive pregnancy test. After this it becomes about 1/25th of an inch, go ahead, go get a ruler.

I suggest you look up the definition for abortion and get back to me. Just because you supposedly know a rape victim that had the baby, doesn't mean that they all want the baby. What gives you the right to impose your beliefs and opinions on these women? The majority of abortions take place in the first trimester. The "baby" is still a zygote. At the end of the first trimester, congratulations, you now have a blastocyst!
