Re: Roe v. Wade thread.

[(Anonymous)]

Alright. Here's a decent, if basic, breakdown of the checks and balances system in the 3 branches of US government. http://factmyth.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/US_government_checks_and_balances.jpg

This system is imposed under the Constitution, and was meant primarily to prevent the President from becoming a dictator, but also to make sure that no one branch of government can call all the shots. The system has flaws. One of those flaws is that the Supreme Court has the fewest checks, because judges are supposed to be impartial. Another is that the whole system falls apart if the branches don't follow the rules.

So, for example, if a President decides he's going to do whatever the hell he wants and the majority of Congress sees that as an opportunity to stack the Supreme Court and thus refuses to check his power when appropriate, then you end up with a Judicial Branch with a political agenda. So we've got that, coupled with a Legislative Branch that's about split down the middle technically, but leaning slightly right because some people enjoy grandstanding. Now, the appropriate check to the Supreme Court's power in overturning Roe v. Wade would be for Congress to propose a constitutional amendment that overrides the Court's decision. That is... unlikely with the Congress that's currently in place.

There's not a constitutional way for the President to override a Court decision. He can recommend legislation and add justices, but legally that's the extent of what he can do. And if he oversteps his constitutional authority, he gets smacked down by the Legislative Branch which has suddenly remembered that they can do that now.
