EU resident wondering how the US legislative process works. For example the recent Texas abortion law, in the hypothetical situation that the majority of Texans don’t agree with the new law, what recourse do they have? What would the possibilities for repealing this law look like?
In: 24
Voter pressure. Civil disobedience. Creating a proper test case. Sue the government.
Or my favorite, simply ignore the law until it goes away.
Once the court gets inundated with scam claims, and altogether too precious Reproductive Enslavement fans, the will fall apart.
Third party is trying to sue you for your abortion would have no standing. The law can’t give somebody standing in the way this one attempts .
And people should be randomly collecting the bounties on each other by bringing insincere cases and filing paperwork.
And laws like this may actually finally push Congress to codify the right to abortion if we can get rid of people like Joe Mansion.
This Texas law would still have to go thru the US Supreme Court to be decided under the laws merit. What everyone is freaking about is that the US Supreme Court allowed the Texas law to pass but it never looked at the law itself. The people who filed against the Texas law to the US Supreme Court, did not prove their case to stop the law and they had no standing with the case because the law has been held up in court all this time.
Now that the law has passed they (democrats) can file against the law for being unconstitutional.
Smh. Everyone here is losing their crap because they don’t seem to understand or want to know how the legal system work.
So to answer the OP’s original question; the primary option to oppose laws is to bring the law to the highest court in the land. Second option is to have the lawmakers repeal the law with a new set of politicians after a scheduled election
