So long as it doesn't take them through Crawford...
I think Bush wanted to know why they didn't just sail off in their yachts.
No, I blame myself. I really do.
Late into the night we would go over and over the rules for posting in the Riddles forum. Gus, I would say, "You post the question and let the others post the answer".
As the weeks passed I thought he was getting the hang of it, then last night he finally said, "I'm going over the top tomorrow. I'm gonna do it"
Envisage if you can my utter dismay to see the answer to the question in his first post. In an effort to redeem the situation, I give you:
Roe vs. Wade
History/Facts About Roe vs. Wade:
"Jane Roe" (whose real name was Norma McCorvey) was a woman who challenged the criminal abortion laws in Texas. These laws forbade abortion except in cases where the mother's life was in danger; claiming they were unconstitutional.
Henry Wade was the Texas Attorney General who defended the anti-abortion law.
Dates Argued: December 13, 1971 and October 11, 1972
Opinion Date: January 22, 1973
Sarah Weddington argued the cause for Roe twice. Jay Floyd argued the cause for Texas in the first argument. Robert C. Flowers argued the cause for Texas in the second argument.
The conclusion held that a woman's right to an abortion falls within the right to privacy protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision gave women the right to abortion during her entire pregnancy and defined different levels of state interest for regulating abortion in the second and third trimesters.
The vote was:
Majority: Blackmun(for the Court), Brennan, Powell, Marshall T.
Concurring: Burger, Douglas, Stewart
Dissenting: Rehnquist, White B.
However, if the question was; Row vs. Sink? The answer is still out there.
