(2,831 posts)I have to be entirely misreading you.
It appears to me that you are arguing that legislative acts are less mutable than court decisions.
I'm not aware why it's stronger to have Congress declare Roe to the the law of the land than to have the Court do so. Do you actually think that this Court would have hesitated to strike down a codification of Roe?
Plus, legislation is subject to attack not just by the Supremes, but by any contrary Congress that comes along with enough votes to repeal a statute.
If you are arguing that the antidemocratic intransigence of the legislative process protects against such repeal, then you are making the point that others have made in this thread: When was the moment when that intransigence could have been overcome to enact a Roe law?
I must be missing something in your argument.
