i would like for Congress to write Bobstock v Cotton into law please
not to mention
fucking
Roe
@aescling a new amendment to the US constitution hasn't been proposed by Congress since 1978
@Lady i would settle for just a bill,
@aescling congress probably doesn't have the power to regulate this sort of thing with a bill though
@aescling there is no passage in the constitution allowing congress to pass bills in the name of human rights, and without Roe there is likewise nothing preventing states from passing bills which violate them
@aescling we need, as amendments to the constitution:
1. equal rights amendment
2. overturning of citizens united
3a. something to deal with gerrymandering
3b. probably something else to revise or replace the electoral college
4. the ability of congress to pass laws regulating and providing for healthcare
5. explicit right to privacy and/or autonomy in matters such as those necessary for abortion rights, gay rights, etc…
(6…??. clarification on frankly a bunch of points, from gun control to copyright and IP law)
