MSNBC Condemns ‘Talk About The Constitution’ In SCOTUS Draft Opinion

“…Because the Supreme Court has “court” in its name, most people understand that it is an institution tasked with addressing legal issues, but MSNBC’s Ali Velshi and The New Yorker’s Sheelah Kolhatkar are not most people. On Velshi’s Saturday show, they condemned the Court for “talking about the Constitution” and “the right to life” while ignoring economic statistics…

…Kolhatkar then condemned the draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, “You know, they spend 98 pages of their draft opinion talking about the Constitution, they talk about conception, and the right to life but there’s almost nothing about what this will look like in society other than a very cursory throwaway line about how there is widespread access to childcare, contraception, and paid family leave.”

After condemning the Court for doing its job and putting life before money, Kolhatkar added, “And, of course, those, as we know, are simply false assertions.”…”

Condemned the court for “talking about the constitution.” You can’t make it up. We live in the age of stupid.

I read the draft Alito Opinion and I thought it was well researched, extensively cited, comprehensive in it’s treatment of the various legal arguments relating to Roe and Casey, and devastating in its analysis of the shortcomings of Roe and Casey. It is 98 pages, but roughly 1/3 of those pages are appendices, and the body of the text only covers about half of each page. So when you boil it down it is about 30 type written pages. It is well worth your time to read it. It will inform you about the history of abortion in the United States and England, the derivation of abortion law beginning with circa 1600’s English common law, and the evolution of abortion law up to and including the present day. Agree with abortion or not, you will find the opinion an outstanding piece of analysis. And you will be shocked by the nonsensical garbage that passes for abortion commentary in our biased and ignorant media.
