Head On Collision - Long Over Due!


South Dakota outlawed abortion this week. How outlandish for a state to pass a law in direct opposition to something the Supreme Court did 33 years ago!

Really? There are at least four other states prepared to pass similar legislation. So we have the Federal Government on a collision course with a state.

Now, I am ardently pro-life. Somewhere along the line we have lost sight of the fact that Federal Government is the manifestation of the states and not other way around.

Marbury vs. Madison established the Supreme Court as the final arbitrator of constitutional issues. Of course, it was the Supreme Court that decided this issue, and no one suggested it was a bad idea. No where in the constitution does it say the Supreme Court is the final arbitrator.

To suggest that Marbury vs. Madison is a bad idea, instantly brings criticism that I must think separate but equal is a good idea or maybe a state could ban all guns.

Hold on a second, civil liberty and equal rights are well established. No one is going to ban guns, because the Second Amendment supersedes that possibility. Personally, I'm not sure why I have hop through so many hoops to purchase a firearm anyway. I've always thought the Federal firearms laws stand on dubious foundations.

However, we know life begins at conception. We know pregnant women have babies not monkeys or sea turtles or lobsters. We know that someone dies in every abortion. We know that the Supreme Court discovered new law in Row vs. Wade. They came up with really bad law then crammed it down out throats. This is the same institution that declared black people constitutes a sub class in Dred Scott.

So kudos to South Dakota. One of the great battles of our time is about to be waged. My money is on the David in the prairie and not the Goliath inside the beltway.
