Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) issued a joint statement attacking the Supreme Court majority over a leaked draft of a decision overturning the 1973 case Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion nationwide. The Pelosi-Schumer statement called out “Trump Justices” and accused them of lying to Senate, ripping up the Constitution and defiling the Court.President Trump had three Supreme Court nominees confirmed by the Senate: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.

No, not "ripping up Constitution".
Going BACK to what the Constitution actually SAYS".....no penumbras, or other fictional BS from leftist judges inventing "rights" out of thin air.

Somehow, this was submitted before I was done.
The "justices" who wrote Roe vs Wade were political hacks desperate to take this issue away from the legislative branch and executive branch - the ELECTED branches of government and lock it up for purely political reasons with their fantasy ruling. This rights a wrong, but 50 to 60 million babies are still dead, an unspeakable evil.

I am sure that both Chuck and Nancy are aware (well, maybe not), that the Constitution has no mention of abortion, or the right or prohibition thereof. Yet they do know their democrat base, and the fact that the vast majority of that base truly believes that "the right of abortion" is protected by the constitution.
As President Reagan observed: "I've noticed that the people in favor of abortion have already been born".

Abortion was not mentioned in the Constitution because back in the 18th century people were not uncivilized animals like they are today.

Actually #6, people were just as uncivilized, perhaps even more so than today. (but that is arguable)

One wonders if any of these women who are so adamant about the right to have an abortion ever had a desire to conceive a child.

"...ripping up the Constitution.."
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Those two have forgotten everything they ever knew about the Constitution.
Consider that it is these democrat leaders who championed
the bogus, kangaroo, partisan witch-hunt they call the "January 6 Commission",
the abrogation of the rights of the Jan 6 defendants thru the obstruction of justice by hiding the White House security video surveillance, unlawful imprisonment of those defendants, and destruction of their rights to due process, all rights guaranteed by the same Constitution they claim the SCOTUS is overruling,
the Deep State implementing the Russiagate hoax and then using it to spy on Trump and his campaign,
the destruction of the First Amendment via censorship,
the destruction of the legislative process through the use of autocratic executive orders and Biden's Obamacratic use of phone and pen.
etc etc etc.

Whoever leaked this, thinking they were being noble and brave, guaranteed that this decision will prevail.

When the US Constitution was written abortion was a crime. If the Catholic Church does not excommunicate Pelosi, I am leaving the Church

Schumer represents a state that had legal abortion even prior to Roe decision (one of 4 - the other 3 being WA, Hawaii and Alaska), and presume his state constitution still maintains that law, so he really has no good reason to be upset since NONE of his constituents will be affected.
Nancy, represents a state who has enacted laws to ensure abortion will remain legal even if Roe was to be overturned, so again, no constituents in California would be affected.
In fact, Gov. Newsom has stated he will pay for those from out of state who can't afford the procedure, and it will become a sanctuary state for those seeking abortions.

You'd think the Speaker of the House and the Leader of the Senate would know their Constitution better - abortion is not in the Constitution.

Two of the very biggest self-serving swamp monsters (and that's really saying something in DC) are supposed to make us not believe what we know to be the real truth --- that a lib operative's leak started this whole "insurrection" - and now the arsonist's helpers
(Chuck & Nan at the forefront) are gassing and fanning the fire while giving orders on how to put out the fire.
Wake Up, America!

When Justice Blackmun wrote the majority decision in Roe v. Wade, he could not rely on words written in the U.S. Constitution on privacy rights, because the words were not there.
Instead, he relied on auras, emanations and penumbras apparently floating above his head like an angel. And if you google the definitions of those words, you will looking at legal cotton candy.
Therefore, there is nothing to tear up. Just an almost mystical evaluation by Blackmun.

Hey, you want to be made a someone, be mad at Harry Reid! He is the reason Trump got three SC picks on the court.
