Because so often SCOTUS rules based on popular opinion, prof.
Totally.
*all the eye rolls*
Michael McFaul not only seems uninformed about the number of Americans who agree with SCOTUS overturning Roe (it’s more like half) but for whatever reason, he thinks we should care what ‘democratic Europe’ thinks about the ruling.
You know, Europe where most of their countries have stricter rules around abortion than we do.

Ummm, nobody cares.
Almost all of the EU has more restrictive abortion laws than the United States so this is silliness.

Silliness. Virtue-signaling.
Yes.

But they’re disappointed in OUR SCOTUS?
Bust off.
Well, we're not Europe, so….

Why doesn't the Supreme Court follow opinion polls? You'd think they'd far outweigh those silly words in the Constitution.

HA HA HA HA
Silly ol’ Constitution.
These are the former prom kings and queens for whom the “popular kids’ table” was the ultimate sign of success. Being popular with the countries whose asses we either saved or kicked time & time again is more important than serving US citizens & our best interests …

These are the same dumbasses who thought it would be a good idea to make themselves dependent on Russian energy supplies.
You will not find a less sophisticated group of people than the EU parliament.

Excellent point.
The SC rules based on constitutionality, not popular opinion.

The Supreme Court interprets law, not popularity polls.

SCOTUS's only duty is to be in step with the Constitution.
