‘Roe v. Wade was on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided.’
Excerpts from Justice Alito’s draft decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
Roe found that the Constitution implicitly conferred a right to obtain an abortion, but it failed to ground its decision in text, history, or precedent.
It relied on an erroneous historical narrative; it devoted great attention to and presumably relied on matters that have no bearing on the ‘meaning of the Constitution; it disregarded the fundamental difference between the precedents on which it relied and the question before the Court; it concocted an elaborate set of rules, with different restrictions for each trimester of pregnancy, but it did not explain how this veritable code could be teased out of anything in the Constitution, the history of abortion laws, prior precedent, or any other cited source; and its most important rule (that States cannot protect fetal life prior to “viability”) was never raised by any party and has never been plausibly explained.
Overuling precedent
Some of our most important constitutional decisions have overruled prior precedents. … In Brown. v. Board of Education, the Court repudiated the “separate but equal” doctrine, which had allowed States to maintain racially segregated schools and other facilities. In so doing, the Court overruled the infamous decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U. S. 537 (1896), along with six other Supreme Court precedents that had applied the separate-but-equal rule.
Roe legislated from the bench
[Roe’s] elaborate [trimester] scheme was the Court’s own brainchild. Neither party advocated the trimester framework; nor did either party or any amicus argue that “viability” should ‘mark the point at which the scope of the abortion right and a State’s regulatory authority should be substantially transformed. … This scheme resemble[d] the work of a legislature. …
Roe certainly did not succeed in ending division on the issue of abortion. On the contrary, Roe “inflamed” a national issue that has remained bitterly divisive for the past half-century. … Indeed, in this case, 26 states expressly ask us to overrule Roe and Casey and return the issue of abortion to the people and their elected representatives.
The purpose of this letter is to respectfully ask that those in your administration discontinue and refrain from making statements and issuing press releases specific to the City of Kenosha Police involved shooting until the facts of the investigation are known.

I am surprised that there hasn’t been more vocal decry about both Ever’s statement, and his no thank you reply when additional help was offered for Kenosha. He is clearly in way over his tiny head.

“Has law enforcement EVER upbraided any previous governor like this?” Good, if rhetorical, question. Equally good question: Have we ever had a governor as spineless and ineffectual as this one? Most governors have some construction project they can point to as their legacy; Tony will be able to point the the destruction of two thriving downtowns, Madison and Milwaukee (not to say the Capitol Grounds).

He is trying to make make wisconsin a full green energy state, no more gas power plants to provide cheap clean energy to our manufacturing companies. We have this thing called Fall, Winter and Spring where it gets really really cold. Oh wait sorry you are correct, completely spineless and ineffective.

Wow, a one page letter. I wonder if Governor Landslide Evers read it himself or if his handlers gave him an executive summary.

Again, the Law of Unintended Consequences manifests…the majority[?] of the Somnambulant
electorate not only “elected” Meso-Intellect Evers to head DPI for years [and therefore Mad./Milw. Metro School Districts, & their respective “Achievement Levels”], they “promoted” him to his highest level of incompetence so as to more efficiently destroy any vestiges of cultural & civil value in the state. The “throw-away” value of Barnes warrants no discussion. Perhaps one day the sheeple electorate will peer behind the shabby camouflage “Progressive” label and finally recognize the anarchistic, dystopian Marxist rot for what it is. Meanwhile, waiting for the end to the leftist hallucination to end… “Hey Tony, Mandela: STFU!”

“Has law enforcement EVER upbraided any previous governor like this?” My guess is No because he should never have been elected. Evers is a special case of the Peter Principle. He was already at a level of incompetence but in an inconsequential position that gave him good name recognition. I believe he would have lost in the primaries but for that alone.

Okay folks, let’s play the long game. Forums like this are great for us who are conservatives to express our outrage, our incredulity over the stupidity of the people we have in office here in this state. The real question is: How do we the people go about electing a Qualified person to be the next Governor of the Great State of Wisconsin? How do we the people get rid of the elected and unelected IDIOTS that are now running the state and a number of the cities in our state? How do we get rid of the IDIOTS that are running our justice system? How do we the people get rid of the elected IDIOTS that represent us at the national level?
We need to ORGANIZE!
We need to GET INVOLVED!
We need to SPEAK OUT!
We as conservatives are too fragmented. Even if we disagree with certain issues we all seem to have the same outlook on life. How do we come together to overcome the liberals/the socialists/ the marxists that now run the state of Wisconsin and their willing co-conspirators in the media?

Good on you, Bill. Madison elects 20 alders next April. Start thinking about making the race NOW! Believe me, you are smarter than 90% of what we’ve got now. (And probably better looking, too.)
