What scares you most about the Roberts' court?

[cali]

Just curious. What are you afraid they'll do? What frightens me is that there will be a fairly slow process that narrows individual rights while expanding executive power, and people will simply accept these insidious changes in a way they wouldn't, if the court for example, simply overturned Roe.

1. Get rid of the 23rd Amendment, Article 2

[unblock]

3. i confess i had to look that one up ... but i'm confused ...

Amendment XXIII - Presidential vote for District of Columbia. Ratified 3/29/1961. History

1. The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct: A number of electors of President and Vice President equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives in Congress to which the District would be entitled if it were a State, but in no event more than the least populous State; they shall be in addition to those appointed by the States, but they shall be considered, for the purposes of the election of President and Vice President, to be electors appointed by a State; and they shall meet in the District and perform such duties as provided by the twelfth article of amendment.

2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

9. Well,

I hadn't thought of that. What a nightmare!

13. Its not a 2 term limit, its a 10 year limit. Its just that .....

.... virtually no one has ever served in full because you have to be VP, take over midterm from your President, and then run two successfull campaigns in order to actually serve 10 years.

4. Bush

'nuff said.

6. Corporations uber alles.

Roberts is a wide open corporate whore. I look for a wholesale attack on labor, industrial regulation, entitlements for the less than rich. I expect the Endangered Species act to be declared unconstitutional.:mad:

7. entrenching corporatism as a part of the american government.

not that it isn't already -- but the robert's court could do more than just about any other to bring it out of the closet.

8. UNITARY EXECUTIVE BRANCH

[morningglory]

10. The religious fundy-nut agenda does not bother me as much as corporate

ravages that can go on: rape of our environment, universities, science, voting rights, taxation of the poor to pay for the corporate rapes of all of the above. They are never going to outlaw abortion, they need it too much. Gay rights are out the window, though. That is bad. God help us!

11. Elections are so close now that the GOP justices will vote in favor of GOP

That to me is the greatest danger.

[hootinholler]

12. That Roberts will preside over the

Impeachment trial in the Senate.
