Acc/to legal scholars, the president has the authority under the #InsurrectionAct of 1807 to federalize #NationalGuard units in #states to suppress “any #insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy” that “so hinders the execution of the laws” that any portion of the state’s inhabitants are deprived of a #ConstitutionalRight & #state authorities are unable or unwilling to protect that right.

US judge temporarily blocks Trump's order to curtail birthright citizenship.
"I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can't remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order," Judge Coughenour said "It just boggles my mind."

For >40yrs a passionate band of #conservative & mostly #Christian activists tried to find ways to undermine the 1973 #SCOTUS ruling guaranteeing a #ConstitutionalRight to #abortion & revolutionized America. But…the country appeared to be moving away from them, increasingly #secular & increasingly #liberal on sexual matters. The anti- #abortion movement lacked the critical mass needed in DC & the #control of #courts to end federal #AbortionRights. But… #Trump …promised to name “pro-life judges”….

フランス：女性の人工妊娠中絶を憲法上の権利にした理由
French lawmakers approve bill making abortion a constitutional right (PBS News)
Why France has made abortion a constitutional right (Economist)
フランス議会は主要な政党がすべて賛成し、780－72票の圧倒的多数で、女性が人工妊娠中絶を選ぶ権利を憲法に追加する法案を可決した。フランスでは1975年に人工妊娠中絶が合法化されている。フランスは旧ユーゴスラビアの1974年、2006年の（出産に関するセン選択の権利を認めた）セルビアに次いで、憲法上の権利ととして規定する国となった。米国連邦最高裁は2022年に女性の人工妊娠中絶の権利を剝奪する判決を下した。また、ポーランドでも近年中絶の制限が拡大されている。それらの動きがフランスが今回憲法修正の発端となった。
専門家は、「フランスにおいて中絶の権利は多数（最近の世論調査でも80％超）に支持されているが、アメリカのように極右勢力が拡大する可能性もある。憲法上で権利と明記することにより、将来反対派がこの権利を取り上げることを難しくする」とその意義を説明する。

In the months since, that draft turned into a #leak, then #law, then the rare #SCOTUS decision that affects the entire #country, reshaping #elections, the practice of #medicine & a fundamental aspect of being #female. The story of how this happened has seemed obvious: The #ConstitutionalRight to abortion effectively died w/Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (#RBG💔), whom #Trump replaced w/a favorite of the #AntiAbortion movement, Justice Barrett.
At 11:16 AM, #Alito’s clerk circulated a 98p draft opinion in #Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Org. After a #justice shares an opinion inside the court, other members scrutinize it. Those in the majority can request revisions, sometimes as the price of their votes, sweating sentences or even words.
