How is it permanent if the president can unilaterally do it? We all know Trump is gonna reverse it just to spite all living things, right?
Apparently based on 2019 ruling only Congress can reverse this.
Thanks for the additional information.
Maybe I’m in a doomer phase, but I don’t see how it changes the end result. Reps have a slim majority in congress, and if I were a betting man I’d put down cash on more dems voting against party line than reps. This shit is getting overturned
Eh, It just makes it a bit harder. Trump tried to undo Obama's restrictions around drilling around Alaska and failed.....However, that was in 2019, which was before the Republicans had a sure footed majority of insane supreme court justices.
Roe vs wade shows that this current makeup of SC justices don't exactly care about prior rulings.
You mean the republican congress?
