<<Kind of like sodomy laws, we still have them although usually people aren't prosecuted unless they do it in public.>>

Perhaps there is a case for the American people against the Clinton/Gore team...

CB--From your recollection, when we were talking about all the possible scenarios unfolding in Congress, we never brought up some never before used statute that was passed after the 1876 election that served as a prelim before direct Congressional involvement would occur.

Do you know anything about such a statute? (Not that it really matters now, but I was curious.)

Actually, you may be right -- abortion might have been a common law crime. Would have to do some research, which I'm not going to do because the possibility of RvW being overturned, even though it was an absurd decision legally, is miniscule for quite some time at least.
