无耻家庭Supreme Court Decision to Reverse Roe v. Wade to Galvanize Democrat Base Ahead of Midterms - Experts_我的网站
一 | Last week, the predominantly conservative US Supreme Court overruled the precedent established by the Roe v. Wade and decided that states may regulate the practice of abortion. The Roe v. Wade decision upheld pregnant women’s right to seek an abortion without government restrictions. A decision in the 1992 case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey largely upheld the Roe ruling.,Effect on Midterms,In November, US citizens will go to the polls in what will be the first midterm election of the Joe Biden administration as well as a referendum of sorts on the current US president's performance. The Republicans have been projected to win back the House of Representatives and the Senate as well, as the public has been increasingly frustrated by the issues such as inflation, crime, education and jobs. The recent ruling, however, could potentially give the democrats a shot in the arm by generating excitement among their voters.,"It will certainly galvanize the Democrats' base, for sure, it will help them to raise campaign funds and it may - perhaps - make some races more difficult for Republicans, especially in the suburbs among women voters," Robert Singh, a professor of politics at Birkbeck, University of London, said, adding that most voters will still be focused on other issues and he still expects the Republicans to win both houses of the Congress.,This sentiment was echoed by Ziad Munson, a sociology professor and the chair of the department of sociology and anthropology at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, who also warned that the effect of the decision can be overstated.,"A consistent finding in political science over the last several decades is that the abortion issue, while a potent ideological symbol, seldom is a key policy issue for voters when they cast their votes," Munson explained.,Andrew Wroe, a senior lecturer in American politics at the University of Kent, agreed as well that the issue should help the Democrats, citing the effectiveness of the Republican use of cultural issues for rallying their base.,"The Democratic Party has been less successful in prosecuting the Culture Wars, but this is its great opportunity. Whether it will use it well is a different question, however," Wroe suggested.,At the same time, Christopher Kaczor, the chair of the philosophy department at Loyola Marymount University, is doubtful about the abortion issue having an impact on the US political landscape and helping Democrats to excite their voters.,"I expect that the very small minority of people for whom abortion is the key issue, on both sides, will be energized by this decision, but for most people other political and economic issues will remain more important," Kaczor stated.,New Wave of Protests?,The Supreme Court's decision has triggered a strong reaction on both sides of the issue in the United States, with hundreds of protesters, pro-life and pro-choice, gathering outside the Supreme Court last week following the decision. After the ruling, protests broke out in various US cities, showing a possibility of a nationwide backlash.,"People are angry, distraught, and ready to mobilise. It is difficult to say precisely how long the protests will persist, but it is likely to be some considerable time, given the magnitude of the policy change and the direct and indirect effects it will have on millions of people's lives," Wroe said.,Meanwhile, other experts expressed skepticism regarding the possibility of nationwide protests, including Munson, who drew attention to the fact that "the conservative majority tested for this possibility when they agreed not to stay the implementation of the Texas S.B. 8 law [also known as the Texas Heartbeat Act that bans abortion after detection of an unborn child's heartbeat] earlier this year.","Allowing that law to go into effect was the Court's political trial balloon, and it showed that widespread outrage quickly quieted down after just a few days. The outrage following the formal overturning of Roe v. Wade will last longer, but it is not likely to lead to large-scale consequential protest activity," the sociologist said.,Man Charged With Attempted Murder of LAPD Officers Amid Roe v Wade Protests26 June, 14:51 GMT,Who Judges the Justices?,Over the years, the role of courts in the US social and political life has greatly increased, with the Supreme Court becoming the final arbiter on many hot-button issues, such as same-sex marriage, gun control and abortion. This has been a prominent talking point among conservatives, who have been claiming that this practice undermines the country's constitutional principles, while liberals have been appealing to the notion of the courts standing up for human rights as well as drawing attention to the conservative movement's efforts to train and promote judges who share its principles.,"Both liberals and conservatives have always been supportive of judicial activism, they just want the judiciary to be activist in promoting the issues or outcomes that their side prefers. This despite the fact that conservatives have used 'judicial activism' as a talking point for some time," Munson pointed out.,Kaczor, for his part, drew a distinction between the original Roe decision and the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, insisting that the latter actually corrects a case of judicial activism.,"The Dobbs decision is not accurately portrayed as a case of judicial activism, but rather as the reversal of judicial activism. It was Roe that established a constitutional right for abortion that had no basis in the text, history, or structure of the constitution. The decision of Dobbs undoes this judicial activism," he stated.,Nevertheless, the ruling by the current Supreme Court, which has three justices picked up by former President Donald Trump from a list compiled by the conservative legal organization Federalist Society, is likely to have the Democrats sour on the Supreme Court.,"Democrats are increasingly likely to start talking about illegitimate policy making by the Supreme Court. They will start to complain about judicial activism. But, as noted above, they can use these arguments to mobilize their base and to argue for urgency of electing more Democrats to the Senate, which of course must ratify presidential appointments to the Court," Wroe said, adding that the Democrats can also "begin to legitimately argue that the Senate has an in-built Republican advantage that needs to be addressed via constitutional change.",According to Singh, any Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential race will face the pressure to commit to enlarging and reforming the Supreme Court.,"Whether that happens, though, is another matter. I doubt the Democrats will have sufficient seats in the Senate to overcome a GOP filibuster of court reform proposals. But the fact that the conservatives number six now on the Court sets up an on-going problem for Democrats, and more conflict to come," Singh concluded.。 在习近平总书记考察抚顺6周年之际，9月27日，市委书记高键主持召开市委理论学习中心组专题学习（扩大）会议，深入学习贯彻习近平总书记“9·28”和“9·7”重要讲话精神，认真学习领会9月26日中央政治局会议精神，推动贯彻落实工作再对标、再深化、再出发，加快实现全面振兴新突破，奋力谱写中国式现代化抚顺篇章。市委副书记、市长王庆海，市政协主席于万军出席会议并作交流发言。 会前，高键等市领导围绕贯彻落实习近平总书记来抚考察重要指示精神情况进行调研。在抚顺西露天矿，高键详细了解西露天矿综合治理与整合利用工作情况，希望抚矿集团坚决守住安全生产和生态环保底线，持续培育发展新动能，加快推动企业转型发展；在国网抚顺供电公司客户服务中心，高键认真听取企业弘扬雷锋精神服务全市振兴发展情况，希望企业更好发挥岗位学雷锋创新示范基地作用，继续发扬干一行爱一行、干一行精一行的敬业精神，让雷锋精神在新时代绽放出更加璀璨的光芒；在新抚区北台社区，高键实地察看老旧小区改造工程建设情况，要求相关单位保证工程质量，加快施工进度，切实把民生实事办到群众心坎上。 在随后的学习会上，与会人员重温习近平总书记“9·28”和“9·7”重要讲话精神，认真学习9月26日中央政治局会议精神，围绕深化学习贯彻工作进行研讨交流。 高键强调，要始终把习近平总书记重要讲话精神作为开展各项工作的总遵循、总纲领、总指针，持续深学细悟，时刻对标对表，进一步理清振兴发展思路，以进一步全面深化改革为动力，奋力实施全面振兴新突破三年行动，以扎实成效诠释忠诚、体现担当。要认真学习领会9月26日中央政治局会议精神，自觉在党和国家事业大局中谋划推进工作，用好用足国家支持政策，以更加精准务实有效的举措，推动全年经济社会发展目标顺利完成。要深刻把握雷锋精神的时代内涵和实践要求，持续深化拓展学雷锋活动，把弘扬雷锋精神与推动高质量发展结合起来，精心打造抚顺“雷锋城”品牌，把雷锋精神“软实力”转化为振兴发展“硬支撑”，为实现全面振兴新突破注入不竭精神动力。要加快推进采煤沉陷区综合治理与整合利用，继续拓展深化市矿联动机制，坚持地企“一家人”理念，在生态修复基础上，积极谋划实施产业转型项目，培育新的增长点，更好引领和带动城市转型发展。
