No sooner had the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs opinion then West Virginia’s sometimes-rational-Democrat senator Joe Manchin and senior Maine-Squish-Republican, senator Susan Collins, came out expressing their combined horror and indignation over the decision. They both went to say they were aghast that both Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch had apparently misrepresented to them, both in private meetings and during their hearings, that they would respect established precedent.

Expect to hear the Left talk about impeaching a coup[le of justices because "they lied" (which they didn't) during their nomination hearings.

We all know this is how the game is played. Republicans have been bitten in the derrière more often that we would want by a Justice going rogue. It’s just the way it is. Who knows? Maybe their opinion actually changed on some issues. Nevertheless, to come out now in an already contentious atmosphere is the height of irresponsibility. Do these two knuckleheads really want to stir this pot? Grow up and face the truth Roe v. Wade was a bad law that needed to be overturned. Additionally, what decent person wants to be on the side of infanticide? Playing political games like these two are doing is not only irresponsible, it is clearly nothing but a political ploy. Just when you think politicians can’t possibly get any more self-serving, one or two always have to pop up and prove you wrong.

The entire process for selecting Supreme Court justices needs to be drastically changed. It's impossible to have an independent, objective judiciary when the process is so political and hell bent on forcing the candidates to pre-commit to particular positions. Why even have a "court" if the selection process is designed to make it a legislative super committee?

Oh PUHLEESE. Here is biden saying he does NOT think R v W was a constitutional right for women AND the other is him saying that marriage should be between 1 man and 1 woman. Everybody shades the truth. Now biden is ALL upset about the R v W decision. Which is the lie and which is the truth? Dems lie every time they open their mouth. Jan 6 political prisoners are STILL in jail and Maxine Watters and AOC and their troops are not. Those protesting at private homes of the judges, a felony, are still not in jail. Also, I want to know when Colbert and his crew of miscreants is going to jail for the INSURRECTION of June 16th. After all. THEY VIOLENTLY invaded the capital and almost DESTROYED our democracy. Can you imagine the FEAR and TERROR of the people inside who were subjected to the horror of the day? And Colbert PLANNED this.

Roe v Wade was NOT established precedent. It was simply an unconstitutional made up BAD ruling which the court corrected. West Virginia is a red state. Manchin’s days may be numbered.

"issued their respective petulant statements" Give me a break. These are CYA statements. The discussions Manchin and Collins had with SCOTUS candidates were also CYA discussions. They had asked, as directly as they could, if Roe was "safe" and they got the packaged TRUTHFUL answers that Roe was a precedent and precedents needed to be respected in future considerations. Clearly not that "respected" in NO WAY means preserves at all costs. Such a guarantee would be a lie. If Manchin and Collins wanted to lie to themselves for the expediency of political cover, which is all that this is, that is on THEM, not the candidate. The more important question is, "What are your thoughts about areas of law that are not specifically addressed by the Constitution? Should they be dealt with at the federal or state level?" Obviously the Conservative response is, at the state level. Note that this still leaves Justices some wiggle room. Constitutional silence has been well dissected over the years and many things dealt with by the SCOTUS are only tenuously addressed by the Constitution. For Roe, the court made up a right of privacy that they said was implied by the Constitution. A follow up question is, "Do you think the Constitution is written and should be interpreted as plain speech (a common interpretation of the actual words) or is it appropriate to explore for meaning beyond the written words?" The Constitution is NOT a novel. It is law, and law should be well considered and drafted as clearly intended. It should be interpreted in that manner as well. It is clear that the framers likely intended that the Constitution be treated this way as well. Progressive judges violate that intent. They search for implied meaning, often fantasy, and also create desired solutions when that is not the role of a Justice in our Republic. Once the dust settles and the States draft their own abortion legislation, I suspect that a significant majority of voters will decide that abortion is being dealt with properly and they WILL NOT WANT the SCOTUS to go down that ghastly path again. The dems will jawbone the issue but it's value will fade as a national issue. In fact, the Republicans, after a while, could make a good case that things have settled down well and the citizens of the individual states mostly have the abortion legislation they want. Why would you want a decisive and essentially insolvable issue brought to the federal level again? Further, all the nightmares the progressives tried to scare us with have NOT come to pass.

They did honor established precedent. It is established precedent to follow the Constitution. The right to an abortion is not listed in the Constitution. And, as far as lying to get into office goes, dems are the LAST group of people that should be pointing fingers. We’re talking about you, Barky.

No judge on the court has said what they would rule on hypothetical cases that might come before them. As to settled "law", gosh a lot of settled laws have been overturned. Slavery and Jim Crow laws come to mind. Justices address cases as they come before them. Roe was badly de.cided and is a classic case of judicial law making. Prior to Roe, abortion was decided by the states. Quite a few had legal abortions but no state was forced nor were the people of the state forced to approve something morally repugnant to them.

Politics never stops. What's that Mr. Dooley said, "Th' Supreme Coort Follows Th' Illiction Returns". SCOTUS does in two ways...through the confirmation process and during a justice's term. Each justice has an ideological role to play, except the Chief. Right now the public opinion tide appears to be running conservative, and the court happens to be majority "conservative". It will undoubtedly swing back one day, and it will be conservatives wailing about precedents being maintained.

Simply acknowledging and respecting precedent, then voting to overturn it on the merits of the argument isn't lying. Any thinking person understands that precedent can be overturned, especially bad precedent. No one pledged to uphold Roe v. Wade if it came up for review. They only really committed to considering it when it remained in force. Both of them should know better.

Angered that the Supreme Court announced in Dobbs that abortion is not part of the Constitution but is, instead, a matter for the states to decide, a lot of leftists are announcing that they’re ready to burn down the entire American system rather than yield to the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Elections will not legitimize any government if they are rigged. We must end the absurdity whereby a private corporation can be hired to count our votes and then refuse to prove to us exactly how it got the final numbers. If the system is not completely transparent and auditable, you can never be confident in it. You can be completely justified in suspecting that it is fraudulent. When the public no longer trusts those who count the votes, then the outcome will be chaos. The 2020 election was rigged, but it is not up to us to prove that.

President Trump recently lost an appeal and must testify in a civil investigation by New York State attorney general Letitia James. Her action was taken based on testimony and evidence given by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen. This is the same Michael Cohen who pleaded guilty to eight counts, including criminal tax evasion and campaign finance violations. While we may not be privy to the inner workings of our justice departments in the United States, it seems rather convenient that the government could take evidence from Michael Cohen regarding his claims of the improprieties of President Trump's financial records after Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts.

Every now and then droplets of reality splash on the noggins of the world’s big thinkers. Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine seems to have highlighted -- to all but the Biden administration -- the folly of a singleminded attempt to curb carbon emissions, emissions which by the way may be more of a boon to the well-being of the earth and its inhabitants than not. (A discussion for another time.) In Foreign Policy, Ted Nordhaus suggests the invasion may end the cold war on fossil fuels. He argues that global leaders have had too great a focus on carbon emissions while ignoring questions of affordability and reliability of energy supply

In her June 18/19 column at the Wall Street Journal, Ms. Noonan takes Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" slap at Trump voters and goes one — nay, two better. She refers to voters who question the results of the 2020 presidential election as "kooks, crooks, and freaks" and then smears the citizens who went to Washington, D.C. January 6, 2021 as "[t]hose poor stupid people." What is the basis for this criticism, which, arguably, is less ad hominem and, more accurately, descriptive of her mindset? Perhaps Ms. Noonan has not read Margot Cleveland's analysis in The Federalist showing how Georgia election officials failed to enforce the state's election laws in 2020.

It’s no secret to anybody paying attention that Joe Biden has an unwholesome obsession with little children, especially little girls. He can’t seem to keep his eyes, his hands, or his nose off them. The Daily Mail has also released text from a diary kept by Ashley Biden, Joe’s drug-addicted, sex-addicted daughter, mentioning inappropriate showers with her father at a young age that may have led to her unhealthy sexual obsessions. Tucker Carlson, upon learning of this, launched an incendiary attack against Biden, the system that’s long protected him from closer scrutiny, and the DOJ and FBI harassing journalists for investigating the story.

McConnell is the 11th Republican senator to announce support for the gun control measure which means the Democrats easily have enough votes to overcome the filibuster.

In case you were too busy caring about things that actually matter to notice, the January 6th committee is back in session. That came after its members announced an “emergency” hearing for Tuesday, including the inclusion of a “surprise” witness. Now, you’d think going through such pomp and circumstance meant they came across some damning new evidence proving their assertion that Donald Trump organized an insurrection. But if you thought that, you thought wrong. Rather, Tuesday’s hearing was another ridiculous parade of absurdity, full of hearsay and no hard evidence of essentially anything. Yet, one claim by a woman named Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Mark Meadows aide, truly took the cake.

t just got easier to get into the Army. Now aspiring soldiers without graduations under their belts can still hang government-issued Sig Sauer M17s from them. Military.com reports that the U.S. Army is dropping its requirement for enlistees to possess either a high school diploma or GED certificate. This comes, per the outlet, amid an “escalating recruiting crisis.” On Thursday, the service announced that individuals may enlist without those previously required education certifications if they ship to basic training this fiscal year, which ends Oct. 1. To be clear, entrants still have to take a test: Recruits must also be at least 18 years old and otherwise qualify for a job in the active-duty Army.
