Joe Biden: ‘MAGA Crowd’ the ‘Most Extreme Political Organization in History’

Senator Paul questions the DHS secretary on Biden’s “Truth Ministry.” Repost. Runs about 8 minutes. Worth your time.

Is there any rational person in the United States that thinks this would be the case if the Supreme Court came out with an opinion supporting Roe? Is there any question in any person’s mind about who law enforcement thinks might be preparing for “violence, unrest?”

Exclusive: Law enforcement prepares for potential violence, unrest surrounding Roe decision

The Biden Administration has told us over and over that the greatest threat to our country today is white supremacists. Is that true, or is that projection? Is there any evidence that a significant fraction of the society believes in white supremacy? If there is, I have not seen it.

A sample of the abortion commentary coming from the left. There is some thoughtful analysis from the left. Unfortunately most (I estimate 70+%) is of a piece with this…

What Alito Got Right

David French:

“…We do not know if Justice Samuel Alito’s leaked draft majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health represents the current consensus of a majority of the Supreme Court. We certainly don’t know yet if it’s a preview of the Court’s actual ruling. Decisions are not final until opinions are issued, and dramatic history exists of a Supreme Court justice changing his mind on abortion during deliberations. In 1992, The Washington Post reported that Justice Anthony Kennedy initially voted to reverse Roe v. Wade when deciding Planned Parenthood v. Casey but later switched his vote to affirm Roe, “a flip attributed in court circles to liberal constitutional scholar Laurence H. Tribe’s pulling strings backstage.”

Even so, Alito’s draft is consequential. It not only represents a potential preview of one of the most significant Court decisions in a generation, but also articulates a compelling understanding of the nature of liberty and the role of the judiciary in American constitutional law…”

Worth clicking over.

Balance and reason from the left? Sometimes.

Supreme Court leak confirms Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s prescient warning about Roe v. Wade

“…Ginsburg firmly supported abortion, but she lamented the court’s decision to unilaterally create a new ‘regime’ on the subject…

…Ginsburg warned against major judicial shifts in a 1992 lecture at New York University, citing Roe as an example.

“Measured motions seem to me right, in the main, for constitutional as well as common law adjudication,” she argued. “Doctrinal limbs too swiftly shaped, experience teaches, may prove unstable. The most prominent example in recent decades is Roe v. Wade.”

Ginsburg noted that Roe struck down far more than the specific Texas criminal abortion statute at issue in the case.

“Suppose the court had stopped there, rightly declaring unconstitutional the most extreme brand of law in the nation, and had not gone on, as the court did in Roe, to fashion a regime blanketing the subject, a set of rules that displaced virtually every state law then in force,” she said. “A less encompassing Roe, one that merely struck down the extreme Texas law and went no further on that day, I believe and will summarize why, might have served to reduce rather than to fuel controversy.” . . .

Ginsburg went on to contrast the court’s landmark decision in Roe with a slew of decisions from 1971 to 1982 in which the court struck down “a series of state and federal laws that differentiated explicitly on the basis of sex.”

Rather than creating a new philosophy of law and imposing it on the nation immediately, “the court, in effect, opened a dialogue with the political branches of government.”

“In essence, the court instructed Congress and state legislatures: rethink ancient positions on these questions,” Ginsburg noted. “The ball, one might say, was tossed by the justices back into the legislators’ court, where the political forces of the day could operate.”…”

This is a Democrat congressman from Ohio running for senator. He votes 90+% with Pelosi/Biden, but Ohio has turned Red following Trump’s MAGA movement. Now he is trying to portray himself as a centrist. Democrats think the Abortion issue works in their political favor. How about this race? Listen to him portray himself as a centrist and then say he is for abortion on demand, no restrictions. He effectively says that, because he repeatedly refuses to answer the question.

Short sighted Democrats often fail to grasp mid to long term impacts of their emotional decisions.

Can Congress resurrect Roe if it’s overturned? Well, it could try.

“…Democrats in Congress are calling on their colleagues to “codify Roe” in federal law. The Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) introduced by Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) in June 2021 would do just that. Here’s what you need to know. . . .

When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 came before the Supreme Court, even the liberal justices noted the awkwardness of arguing over whether hamburger meat crossing state lines meant a restaurant such as Ollie’s BBQ in Alabama had to allow Black patrons to sit at the counter, or whether an Atlanta hotel near an interstate highway had to allow Black guests because its travelers moved between states. Still, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the Civil Rights Act, giving the green light to Congress to use its commerce power to enforce civil rights.

This time around, Congress would again define access to abortion as a case of interstate commerce. People travel across state lines to procure abortion services; medical equipment that provide abortions all moves in interstate commerce; and licensing, training and education for abortion providers all involve interstate travel and commerce. Proponents hope that by codifying Roe in this way, a new federal law guaranteeing the right to abortion would survive the Supreme Court’s inevitable review.

But the Supreme Court has narrowed Congress’s commerce power significantly since the mid-1990s. . . .

It’s possible that the Supreme Court would choose to uphold a WHPA, if passed and signed. Even with these unfavorable rulings, there is ample Supreme Court precedent to support Congress’s regulating abortion through interstate commerce, as law professor Julian Mortenson outlines.

But there is another reason that Democrats in Congress may not want to codify Roe through legislation.

If the Supreme Court rules that Congress has the power to protect abortion through legislation, Congress also would have the power to prohibit abortion through legislation. As Chief Justice John Marshall famously concluded in an 1824 Commerce Clause case, the power to regulate necessarily includes the power to prohibit.

Ultimately, any victory for abortion rights the Democrats might claim with the WHPA would be temporary, lasting only until Republicans regained control…”

Democrats don’t have the votes in the senate anyway. No matter how much screaming and how many declarations of righteous anger they make on television.

Global “elites” don’t want free speech for the great unwashed masses, just for them.

REVEALED: George Soros, Clinton and Obama staffers and European governments are behind anti-Musk campaign to force big corporations to boycott Twitter – after Elon demanded to know ‘who funds these organizations?’

    • A group of 26 activist organizations and NGOs signed a letter to companies who advertise on Twitter, warning them to reconsider if Elon Musk makes changes
    • Musk has pledged to lift the ‘censorship’ of Twitter: critics worry that he will give free rein to those trafficking in hate speech and dangerous scientific theories
    • The letter writers said that Musk ‘will further toxify our information ecosystem and be a direct threat to public safety’
    • They wrote: ‘Twitter risks becoming a cesspool of misinformation, with your brand attached’
    • Musk replied, wanting to know who was behind the 26 groups signing the letter, and commenting: ‘Sunlight is the best disinfectant’
