Legal Idiots

Here's a frivolous lawsuit you won't hear about from the wingnuts:

DALLAS (Reuters) - "Jane Roe" failed on Friday to overturn the historic decision made on her behalf that legalized abortion in the United States 30 years ago.

A U.S. federal judge on Friday dismissed a suit brought by "Roe," whose real name is Norma McCorvey, in which she sought to reverse "Roe v. Wade."

U.S. district judge David Godbey said McCorvey, who went by the name "Jane Roe" in the landmark Roe v. Wade case, did not bring her motion within a reasonable time. Since being the woman behind the case that made abortion legal in the United States, McCorvey has joined the anti-abortion movement.

"Whatever else may have been done, the Supreme Court's Roe decision 30 years ago ended this lawsuit between these parties," " Judge David Godbey wrote in the decision. "It is simply too late now, 30 years after the fact, for McCorvey to revisit that judgment."

Among the arguments made by the right-wing legal foundation (The Justice Foundation aka Texas Justice Foundation) that brought the motion are (1) the Social Security system is in crisis because 43 million aborted fetuses have not paid Social Security tax, and (2) child abuse has increased because of abortion. (See Notable Cases, McCorvey v. Hill, Docket item 3, page 50 (Note: .pdf files).)

Judge Godbey needs to drop some substantial Rule 11 sanctions on these asses.
