Ruth Bader Ginsburg saw this coming: There's a fatal flaw in Roe v. Wade

 Ruth Bader Ginsburg saw this coming: There's a fatal flaw in Roe v. Wade | Salon.com 

The original Roe decision never even mentions women's equality. As Ginsburg saw, that was a critical mistake

"After affirming and reaffirming the right to have an abortion over nearly a half-century — not just in Roe v. Wade,  but also Akron v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health, Thornburgh v. American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists and Planned Parenthood v. Casey — the Supreme Court should have found Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the Mississippi case now before it, an easy call. After all, the right to abortion is considered settled law, as Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh said in their confirmation hearings. According to those precedents, the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment provides a right to privacy that protects the right to choose whether to have an abortion prior to viability, and the government cannot pose an undue burden on that right. 

"But a crucial argument was missing from Roe in the first place which may ultimately have doomed it, given the leaked majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito signaling that the court is about to overturn that landmark ruling. What advocates should have done, and must do going forward, is to incorporate sex equality arguments into their analysis of abortion rights. Although people identifying with different genders can have abortions, the right to an abortion undoubtedly involves women's position in society in relation to men. ". . .

Get ready for another 'summer of love'

Get ready for another 'summer of love' - American Thinker    "In 2020, we watched as rioters destroyed buildings and lives throughout our cities in the wake of George Floyd's death.  Get ready for another summer of riots and destruction.  The White House has legitimized such behavior by calling MAGA Republicans the most extreme in our history.

"The leaked working opinion authored by Justice Alito concerning overturning Roe v. Wade has provided the necessary unifying principle for the radical left.  Sen. Warren (D-Mass.) helped light the fuse outside the Supreme Court Building by inciting the crowd when she told them, "We won't go back."  In the past, Sen. Schumer (D-N.Y.) threatened justices on the steps of the Court in 2020: "I want to tell you, Gorsuch.  I want to tell you, Kavanaugh.  You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.  You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

"Already liberal groups are organizing protests to SCOTUS rulings.  Now the addresses of the Republican-appointed justices have been published for a walk-by next week.  This type of intimidation may be illegal in Virginia and could be viewed as interference in a legal procedure.  Certainly, among the pro-abortion crowd are radical persons who would advocate violence to stop such a ruling against Roe.  Afterall, intimidation is one of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.". . .

After Horrific SCOTUS Leak, Justices Must Plow Ahead and Overturn Roe - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics   "To defect now would be to give the leaker and his or her street brawler allies a massive win."  (Behind a pay wall)

Different article, same title: After Horrific SCOTUS Leak, Justices Must Plow Ahead and Overturn Roe | Opinion (newsweek.com)

While we cannot be certain, it is highly likely that the leak originated in the chambers of one of the Court's three lockstep-marching progressives: the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, Justice Elena Kagan and Justice Sonia Sotomayor. The most straightforward, and indeed most likely, explanation is that a fanatical pro-abortion law clerk in a liberal chamber decided to seek progressive "hero" status and a shiny book deal, a MSNBC talking-head gig and/or a gender studies professorial perch at a mid-tier university. That rabid Antifa thugs will be dispatched to the private residences of the case's two swing justices, Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, is not a bug but a feature of this malicious scheme. Indeed, it appears some vile pro-abortion activists have already publicly posted some of the justices' personal addresses.

We Can’t Let Ourselves Be Oppressed by Weirdos, Losers, and Mutations

And that’s true of the rest of the salty commie crew. Pierced beings with blue hair. Fat-positive behemoths in spandex. Daddy-issue goofs of all genders who can’t do a push up. If we are going to lose our country and our freedom, it can’t be to this gallery of goblins.  

 We Can’t Let Ourselves Be Oppressed by Weirdos, Losers, and Mutations (townhall.com)  "Have you noticed the absolute freakshow quality of the people who want to keep us in chains? Perhaps it’s one thing to be repressed by people who are at least nominally badass, like Romans or Mongols. But these geebos who make up the Democrat Party’s loudmouth wing? The sexually hopeless toads outraged because other people who might someday know the loving touch of another human can’t whack their babies? No. Not only does their tyranny fail the freedom test, it fails the aesthetic test.

"We simply cannot allow ourselves to be serfs toiling in the fields of a bunch of people who, in any just and sane society, would spend their lives living in fear of getting wedgies for being so bizarre.

"Look, I’m not saying that our society should bring back bullying nerds. I am simply observing that when nerds were busy trying to avoid swirlies in the boys' room, they did not have the time to devote to getting their groomer allies access to Kindergarteners. If Melvins and Pointdexters living in fear is the price of little kids not getting chatted up by pedo-adjacent strange-os, I say that’s a bargain. 

"All leftists are insufferable, but this current crop is insufferable in many diverse ways. It’s not just the ones who defile or mutilate themselves to get their parents’ attention. It also includes ones that don’t tatt up, who appear normal until they open up their kale holes. Think Nina Jankowicz. On the surface, she looks like any other childless, middle-aged Chardonnay-guzzler who is pushing 40 but has failed thus far to earn the love of a man. But when she starts talking, yikes. And just look at the antics of that fascist disinformation girl. She sings show tunes. She’s into Harry Potter – non-threatening sensitive and magical boys are sooooo dreamy. She’s also eager to shove you into a train car headed to a gulag, and as it pulls away from the station she’ll be shouting at you ruffians to use your inside voices."

Our Constitution is endangered at the hands of Democrats

Schiff: ‘Codifying Roe Isn’t Enough. We Must Expand the Court’ (legalinsurrection.com)

Schiff lets it all out. It’s all about packing the court, impeaching the six conservative justices, and allowing infanticide. 

"I guess the House Intelligence Committee won’t do anything about someone leaking Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.

"Chairman Adam Schiff doesn’t “care how the draft leaked.” He considers it a “sideshow.”

"It’s all about allowing women to murder their unborn babies and…expanding the court and going after justices who “lied.” Oh, so Schiff wants to impeach them? We know Schiff is obsessed with impeachment.

"Because no one is allowed to change their mind. We must keep all rulings valid for the rest of time.

"Imagine if SCOTUS relied on precedent when it came to slavery and segregation. Imagine if everyone relied on precedent when it came to civil rights and women voting."

Thanks, California.

The SCOTUS leak is a gold mine for the left

 One of the many consequences caused by those who consider our nation's founders to be nothing more than "Dead White Men".

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

One aspect of the leaked Alito opinion isn’t a mystery at all - American Thinker  "When it comes to the Alito draft, we’re not sure exactly who leaked it and we’re not sure yet what its effect will be on the case and the election. But one thing we can absolutely be sure of in the wake of the dissemination of the Roe/Casey opinion draft is this: Ka-Ching!!!

"Within minutes of the leak’s publication, various Democrat/progressive/leftist organizations began raising money off the matter. That’s not an exaggeration. The first funding emails were sent out almost instantly. Both CNBC and Business Insider have reported staggering cash hauls based on the leak.". . .

Can we save SCOTUS from the leaker? - American Thinker  "The person who leaked the Alito draft opinion in the abortion case (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health) committed an assault against the Supreme Court that has the potential to kill the Court’s integrity moving forward. That is, it opens the Court to political persuasion not only in this case (if you can call mob pressure “persuasion) but also in every controversial case going forward. How can the Court offset the damage?". . .

Roe v. Wade text

 Roe v Wade: FULL Text (The Decision that wiped out an entire Generation 33 years ago today) (freerepublic.com)

. . This conclusion, however, does not of itself fully answer the contentions raised by Texas, and we pass on to other considerations.

. In areas other than criminal abortion, the law has been reluctant to endorse any theory that life, as we recognize it, begins before live birth or to accord legal rights to the unborn except in narrowly defined situations and except when the rights are contingent upon live birth. For example, the traditional rule of tort law denied recovery for prenatal injuries even though the child was born alive. 63 That rule has been changed in almost every jurisdiction. In most States, recovery is said to be permitted only if the fetus was viable, or at least quick, when the injuries were sustained, though few courts have squarely so held. 64 In a recent development, generally opposed by the commentators, some States permit the parents of a stillborn child to maintain an action for wrongful death because of prenatal injuries. 65

Such an action, however, would appear to be one to vindicate the parents' interest and is thus consistent with the view that the fetus, at most, represents only the potentiality of life. Similarly, unborn children have been recognized as acquiring rights or interests by way of inheritance or other devolution of property, and have been represented by guardians ad litem. 66 Perfection of the interests involved, again, has generally been contingent upon live birth. In short, the unborn have never been recognized in the law as persons in the whole sense.". . .

Spreading Roe disinformation: Where are the disinformation police?

Jack Hellner

Isn't it rich when journalists and other Democrats, who will force women to wear masks and get vaccines or get fired or lose other rights, claim that they believe that women can do whatever they want with their body? Freedom of choice to Democrats is only when you choose to do what they want. . .  

"For decades, scholars on both sides of the issue have said Roe v Wade was wrongly decided by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is supposed to determine if laws are constitutional and Roe V Wade created law, instead of interpreting law. 

"Now that it looks like the Supreme Court may correct the wrong, and send the issue back to the states or Congress, the media and other Democrats are having a collective cow and colluding to  just make s*** up to scare the public. In other words, they are intentionally spreading misinformation to influence and interfere in the election.". . .

. . ."The reason the media and Democrats are colluding to scare the public is because their policies are so unpopular. 

They sure don't want to talk about inflation, crime, the border, foreign policy, the Durham investigation, or the Biden family corruption so they change the subject. ". .

The Abortion Disinformation Campaign - WSJ (Pay wall in effect here)

"Don’t believe the claims that other rights are in jeopardy if Roe v. Wade falls."

"First, they ban abortion. Next will be a contraception ban. Then a ban on same-sex and even interracial marriage. Soon we will all be living in “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

"That’s the parade of horribles that Democrats and the media are trying to sell Americans after the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion that would repeal a constitutional right to abortion.

"If Roe v. Wade falls, it “would mean that every other decision related to the notion of privacy is thrown into question,” President Biden warned Tuesday. “Does this mean that in Florida they can decide they’re going to pass a law saying that same-sex marriage is not permissible?” If we can borrow a word he likes, the President is peddling disinformation.

"The press is full of similar pearl-clutching about which precedent the Supreme Court might strike down next. Is it Obergefell (2015), which enshrined gay marriage? Griswold (1965), which overturned a state law prohibiting married couples from buying contraceptives? What about even Loving v. Virginia (1967), which guaranteed interracial marriage?". . .

The Two Words That Now Describe the White House Correspondents' Dinner

 Townhall

The bright spot here is maybe this dinner will be the killing joke regarding the vaccine. Hell, it might be the death knell for its advocacy. The very people who wanted all of us to get jabbed, even little kiddies, all still got it at this elitist dinner. 

"We all knew this was going to happen. There were hordes of liberal elitists at the White House Correspondents Dinner on April 30. Sure, you had to download an app to load your medical documents, which was super creepy. Sure, you needed to get vaccinated, boosted, and show proof of your shots for entry. Is this Washington DC or Checkpoint Charlie? 

"You had to file more paperwork to attend this dinner than filing your taxes. And for what? We all know the COVID vaccine does not prevent transmission. You can still get it. 

"In that regard, the COVID vaccine is like the flu shot that's available every year. It prevents you from serious illness, maybe death, but you can still get it. That's life. Get used to it. COVID is endemic. Welcome to the new normal—and let's get back on with our lives. 

"The people who attended this dinner peddled so much fear porn that our nerves for stimulation are now shot and for good reason—it was all about control. We're done. And evidently, they're done too. So, are we shocked that this dinner has become a full-blown superspreader event? We all knew the dominos would fall once ABC News' Jon Karl fell ill. More have fallen (via CNN): ". . .

Alito Will Save Lives, Not Biden

 Ann Coulter

"When the draft Supreme Court opinion overruling "Roe v. Wade" leaked on Monday, my first thought was: WHY COULDN'T THEY WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR? ("Roe" is in quotes because Planned Parenthood v. Casey already overruled Roe, but "Roe" is still used to describe the nonexistent right to abortion.) 

"Yes, it's human life we're talking about. Millions of babies are killed in their mothers' wombs each year -- it's a massacre. On the other hand, I thought, ending late-terms might end the midterms. 

"But then I read Justice Samuel Alito's opinion and was intellectually offended all over again by the idea that one of our precious constitutional rights, enshrined in a founding document, is the right to kill an unborn baby. Anyone complaining about the decision should be required to cite the exact parts Alito got wrong. Be specific. And keep in mind, no important discussion of constitutional law has ever begun with the words, "My vagina ..." 

"The Nation magazine's Elie Mystal took a stab at it by completely misstating Alito's argument, then saying, "the Founding Fathers were racist, misogynist jerkfaces." (I was planning on writing a scholarly and nuanced treatise on the framers, but Mystal just stole my title!) 

"I also noticed that, outside of the media, no one seems especially bothered by the decision. Or to have noticed it. In groups of liberal women, apolitical women, black and Puerto Rican women, no one is talking about the case. 

"They're probably right. The end of a court-managed "constitutional" right to abortion isn't going to produce the Roemageddon Democrats are predicting. 

"More than half of the country already lives in states where abortion will always be legal, subsidized and sacralized. For those who don't, Harvard should set up an abortion scholarship program. Instead of spending $100 million "investigating" slavery, the university could buy bus tickets for girls who need to go to another state for an abortion. 

"The Mississippi law being upheld in this case -- contrary to everything I've heard on MSNBC -- is shockingly reasonable.". . .

The Silent Scream (The ultrasound of abortion)   The Silent Scream is a 1984 anti-abortion documentary video directed and narrated by Bernard Nathanson, an obstetrician, NARAL Pro-Choice America founder, and abortion provider turned pro-life activist, and produced in partnership with the National Right to Life Committee.[1] The film depicts the abortion process via ultrasound and shows an abortion taking place in the uterus. During the abortion process, the fetus is described as appearing to make outcries of pain and discomfort. The video has been a popular tool used by the pro-life campaign in arguing against abortion,[2] although it has been criticized as misleading by members of the medical community.[3]

Victoria Toensing floats idea on what to do with ‘every single’ SCOTUS clerk to find the leaker

 Victoria Toensing floats idea on what to do with 'every single' SCOTUS clerk to find the leaker (bizpacreview.com)  "With the alleged Supreme Court leak dominating the news cycle, hot takes are pouring in from every angle. For Victoria Toensing though, the call to action is to polygraph Supreme Court clerks.

"It isn’t currently known who leaked the draft opinion to Politico (though speculation runs rampant.) It isn’t even known if the leak itself is legitimate, but so far, it is being treated as such by just about everyone.

"The leak has galvanized screaming rhetoric from both sides, with Democrats claiming that women are under attack and democracy is dying, and Republicans outraged over the idea that a leak happened at the Supreme Court, and feel it compromised the institution’s integrity, and that it is an attempt to intimidate the conservative justices into silence.

"One such voice is Toensing, a conservative attorney noted for being part of former President Donald Trump’s team in challenging the 2020 election in court, who was later raided by the FBI as part of an ongoing investigation into former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani’s activities in Ukraine on behalf of Trump.

"On Tuesday, Toensing and her husband, fellow attorney Joseph diGenova, went on Newsmax to comment on the “unprecedented” leak and speculate on the motives, such as the popular theory that it was intended to create pressure on the justices to change their vote.

"Toensing then took it a step further and said the FBI needs to intervene and polygraph “every single law clerk in there,” to find out who (if it even was one of the clerks) was responsible.". . .

Obamas Urge Their Followers to Take to the Streets to Save Roe

 

Obamas Urge Their Followers to Take to the Streets to Save Roe – PJ Media  . . ."Former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, have dusted off their aloof, cool, intellectual act to bless us with their thoughts on the recent development. The former president tweeted out a document entitled “Statement by President and Mrs. Obama on the Draft Supreme Court Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade.” Apparently forgetting he was no longer the president, Barack also forgot how important precedent and custom are, as he used his position and power to pressure sitting Supreme Court justices on a case they are currently considering:. . .

. . ."Got that, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett? And don’t even think about it, Roberts!

“ 'The consequences of this decision would be a blow not just to women, but to all of us who believe that in a free society, there are limits to how much the government can encroach on our personal lives,” the luminaries of the vaccine-mandate party laughably assert.

"The sainted couple then warns, “… we recognize that while many are angry and frustrated by this report, some of those who support Roe may feel helpless and instinctively turn back to their work, or families, or daily tasks telling themselves that because this outcome may have been predictable, there’s nothing any of us can do.” The Obamas list off some hypothetical examples of the sad situations in which people may find themselves, which could be alleviated by terminating an unwanted or unviable pregnancy. (And indeed, all of these examples are heartbreaking.) “Think of any of the hundreds of thousands of women each year who deserve the dignity and freedom of making a decision that is right for their bodies and their circumstances,” implore the historic couple.

"Then they issue their call-to-action:

But we’re not asking you to just think about these people. We’re asking you to join with the activists who’ve been sounding the alarm on this issue for years and act. Stand with them at a local protest. Volunteer with them on a campaign. Join with them in urging Congress to codify Roe into law.

 

Repairman who revealed Hunter Biden laptop sues Schiff, CNN, Politico and the Daily Beast

 NY Post  .  .  ."The former shop owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, decided to fight back after losing his business and being harassed for 18 months by Big Tech, the media and Delaware locals in President Biden’s home state.

"“After fighting to reveal the truth, all I want now is for the rest of the country to know that there was a collective and orchestrated effort by social and mainstream media to block a real story with real consequences for the nation,” the 45-year-old Mac Isaac told The Post.

"“This was collusion led by 51 former pillars in the intelligence community and backed by words and actions of a politically motivated DOJ and FBI,” he continued. “I want this lawsuit to reveal that collusion and more importantly, who gave the marching orders.”

"Mac Isaac came to legally own the laptop after Biden’s son Hunter dropped it off at his store for repairs in April 2019 and never came back. The material on the laptop has raised serious questions about what Biden knew of his son’s overseas business deals, during which he and the president’s brother Jim Biden often invoked his powerful name.
