Once in a while they slip the truth.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

C'mon Supremes, let's be pro-choice and overturn Roe vs Wade and let the states decide as they did before 1973. That's the real pro-choice argument for abortion - let states regulate abortion.

I don't know why Republicans don't frame the argument as this, they'd win every time.

I am anxious about this Free Speech decision pending at the US Supreme Court.

It sounds like the Colorado as well as the Massachusetts law may be overturned (allowing Abortion Clinics to set up a buffer zone VOIDING free speech in that area).

[Steely Tom]

Irony is so ironic.

[GeronL]

Any Constitution-free Zone should be thrown out, but sounds like SCOTUS is okay with them

[GeronL]

They have no problem with naked feminists running into a church and throwing red paint at the altar I bet, but let someone blaspheme the leftist holy sites and No Speech Zones are okay

[G Larry]

They need to get over the meme of “...blocking entrances and exits...”

It is NOT about “blocking” anything.

Having said that, I’d like to clean up the “pro-life” act we have going in Denver, that focuses on shouting HELL AND DAMNATION to already stressed out mothers.
(coming from guys who look like they just shuffled over from the rescue mission)

They need a message of love and help and a clear path to options.

[Gay State Conservative]

First Sotomayor appearing to side with Catholic nuns regarding the birth control mandate and now this.Maybe...just *maybe*....the have a glimmer of decency in them.

[Still Thinking]

I wonder where Juan “Traitor” Roberts is on this one. Probably depends on whether it’s covered in the blackmail agreement or not. Sounds like Kennedy’s in the bag. Not that it really matters; I’d trade this one for the OsamaScare ruling in a nanosecond.

Kagan MAY understand that the abortuaries are benefitted most by unscrupulous MEN...

Why has it come to this? Why do we let 9 Americans tell the rest of us what the Constitution says? The language isn't that confusing, nor is the interpretation that twisted.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

That's it. Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech. Free speech is absolute, as is the press, peaceable assembly and petitioning the government. I don't need a bunch of politically appointed Ivy-leaguers to tell me what it means.

[TigersEye]

Perhaps it was no accident.

[DManA]

Maybe not ironic. I’ve been reading numerous things saying she is authentically anti-abortion.

*GASP*

[NCLaw441]

I hope your amicus brief spelled the word “statute.”

[Popman]

Most disturbing about this case though is that it was not just Massachusetts defending this pro-abortion law, the Obama Administration sent its lawyers to the Supreme Court to argue that this anti-pro-life speech law in no way violated the Constitution.

Wonder what these evil scumbags are up too...?

There is an means to an end here...positive it's not a good one...

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

One of the great mysteries of the Supreme Court is that, while some presidents want to nominate serious justices, they get ideologues; and sometimes when they want to appoint ideologues, they get serious justices. Even at that level they cannot peer into someone’s heart.

And justices do persuade each other of many things.

But imagine the surprise if one or more of the Obama justices turned out to be more reasoned than he wanted.

Can one be arrested for discussing the Red Sox on that sidewalk?

[cookcounty]

Probably their argument is that there is some sort of heightened possibility of violence, but in that case, there should also be restrictions on the approaches to bars and liquor stores, which in fact are much more likely to become violent scenes.

[VerySadAmerican]

Speaking out against abortion in front of an abortion clinic is the definition of “fighting words” to a liberal.
