He's not wrong. This is a stupid end-run around what the courts, rightly or wrongly, consider a constitutionally protected right. If you can do it for abortion, you can do it for other things that are considered protected rights.
Abortion isn’t in the constitution, try reading it sometime. The argument for Roe v Wade was that privacy between a mother and doctor is protected so we can kill babies (literally).
What an idiotic reply. Yeah, the right to abortion was made up. But courts make no distinction between rights they've made up and the ones that are actually there. This mechanism can be used to undermine all other rights as well.
What you are talking about is legislation from the bench. This is a problem because there is no current check and balances on the Supreme Court outside of state ratification.
Need a constitutional convention and include a check on the Supreme Court by the states. If 26 state legislatures votes to nullify a ruling it's overruled by the states.
