House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer issued a joint statement late Monday reacting to news that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade, according to an unprecedented leak of the first draft of the majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
“If the report is accurate, the Supreme Court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past fifty years – not just on women but on all Americans,” the Democratic leaders wrote.
“The Republican-appointed Justices’ reported votes to overturn Roe v. Wade would go down as an abomination, one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history,” they continue.

No... the justices are saying there is no constitutional right to abortion. It was a bad decision. It's now up to the States to decide, in the legislature.

Democrats want this out there so they have an issue to rally their 'stupids' (voters) nothing gets the left going like abortion. This is a made up dust up for mid term election.

I think it's more insidious than simply rallying the base - it's an attempt to rally the forces of evil in the guise of Antifa and other protestors to descend on DC and sway SCOTUS to change or water down the decision prior to its official release. The proof is that barricades were erected around the courthouse almost immediately after Politico went live with this story.
I also suspect that it was Justice Breyer's clerks who leaked the draft since they'll likely be gone later this year after he retires. They have nothing to lose in breaching the decorum of the court and probably see it as a resume enhancer for liberal law firms like Perkins Coie.

Hey libtards, now you know what it's like to be a gun owner and have your rights constantly under assault. Only difference, we don't murder innocent babies.

Pelosi and Schumer will do and say anything to push their sick agenda, knowing full well that it was some radical, whacko, lying leftist that leaked this. It was probably one of their college-age idiot law clerks but anybody on the Left is capable of this kind of mischief.

All the predictable vociferous claims, animosity and scary propaganda by the Feminists, the Woke and the left generally, that such a reversal is all about the majority religious Right on the SCOTUS bench BANNING abortions throughput out the USA, is so much BS and fraudulent propaganda.. It is all about what everyone has known since Roe v Wade was initially decided, that lacking any reference of any kind to abortion and the right to murder unborn babies in the written US Constitution, the right could be creatively discovered judicially in the "the umbra of the penumbra of legal statutory and constitutional interpretation". THERE IS NO RIGHT TO ABORTION IN THE US CONSTITUTION. All this means is that the issue of abortion will correctly revert back to the individual States to determine, under the provisions of The 10th Amendment, which state that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the PEOPLE." No mention of SCOTUS or any other Court/judicial decision!. Those who want to continue murdering the unborn will have to fight for that right in the electorate and the State Constitutions of each state one by one.

Since the Fascist party got caught lying about Russian collusion, they don't even attempt to hide their deceit. This has all the hallmarks of a Dem last to whip up an unenthusiastic base in time to donate and get out and vote in primaries. This has absolutely no credibility! After over 200 years of no leaks, suddenly there is a leak that just happens to be about abortion and just happens to benefit the rhetoric of the far left fascist? Way too convention to be random.

A little inside baseball question. Justice Breyer was on the court when arguments were heard. But I believe that the new Justice has been confirmed (has she been sworn in?), If she's seated, she should not be a vote in this case (she did not hear it) and Justice Breyer, as a retired justice, would not be able to vote on the case.
I have a lawyer friend who teaches a pre-law class at a college. He's a proud old-style, union liberal, who has made good in the lawyering business. Unlike most liberals, he likes a good debate on both sides. He starts his class each semester pointing out that he can upset both liberals and conservatives. He points out that Row v Wade is bad law and unconstitutional, and should be thrown out (again, leaving abortion as an individual state decision). So all the libs are upset. Then he points out (and I may disagree here) that the second amendment only allows the right to bear arms to form a militia and that does not mean gun ownership and gun rights are an absolute.

Knowing a few libtards, they think we should be thrilled they're going after our guns. If they want it, we should all present our naked butts for inspection and violation with a smile on our faces.
I have yet to meet a true donkey-believer that can really comprehend or sympathize with, another's pain.

An abomination? But partial birth abortion, killing a baby while it’s breathing air and screaming in pain, is a Constitutionally Protected Right, and a citizen owning a gun isn’t. How have we ever lost to these horrible and moronic people?

In the article's photo of Pelosi and Schumer, they are both wearing face diapers. That is probably if because they are needed to catch all of the BS spewing from their mouths regarding this leaked opinion. Abortion is not health care. It is elective murder of an unborn baby. There are plenty of things that women can do to control their bodies so they do not get pregnant or need an abortion. It is all about personal responsibility. Something that Democrats avoid whenever possible.

Re #12, Breyer's resignation isn't actually until Sept or something like that.
The new witch has no say in this one.

Well doesn't that mean Fauxie LIED continuously? Data Changes, so he said, and that is why he had to change his guidance, when in fact he was playing political hack to get his way. Same with this charge about someone lying. The left is despicable, they will lie cheat and STEAL Elections to get their way. IT's time for all of them to be moved to Mars so they can live out their very short lives...when the water/food runs out!
