It would put the Supreme Court in a difficult position. Would they want to overturn a very high profile federal law? It seems like it would further strengthen the original Roe ruling, and that's the way it should be written.

An amendment would obviously be better, but a federal law would be second best

The problem I see with it is if it wouldn't pass, then that would make Roe look more weak. They'd have to be absolutely certain they had the votes before trying it.

They should just win in 2020 and replace Thomas, Ginsburg, and Breyer. Problem solved.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
