Re: “Tulsa race massacre survivor releases memoir — Her book is a call to pursue truth, justice and reconciliation,” Wednesday news story. Thank you for...
I write to express a couple of different viewpoints. In last summer’s Dobbs opinion, the Supreme Court did not “take away” women’s right to choose. It corrected the error of the Roe vs. Wade decision and returned the right to determine the extent of abortion rights to the correct body: the sovereign people, acting through their duly elected representatives.
It has been clear since at least Brown vs. Board of Education , reversing the separate but equal holding of Plessy vs. Ferguson , that the Supreme Court has not only the right, but the duty, to correct the errors of prior decisions. That is not to say that courts should break with precedent on a willy-nilly basis, but neither should they be hide bound to erroneous, or perhaps time bound, precedents.
Both editorial boards call for both parties to solve this major problem together, now. Fixing this problem would go a long way in restoring public trust in government and politics. Trust is vital to a functioning society and right now, it’s sorely lacking. Social Security is the third rail of politics, a worrisome subject which many politicians seem to prefer to ignore. About 67 million Americans rely on Social Security, and with the retirement of more baby boomers, that figure is increasing.
