Ever since Maxine Waters encouraged her supporters to publicly harass Trump supporters, liberals have denounced civility and things just keep getting worse. Now, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC Contributor Jennifer Rubin announced that if Trump gets his way with the supreme court, it is time for civil war.
The people who brought Donald Trump and delivered him to the White House want this [the overturn of Roe], and I think they will not be disappointed. So then the question is, if theyre not able to withstand this onslaught, not able to hold back a justice that would reverse Roe, what happens? In essence, we go to 50 civil wars in each of the states, plus the District of Columbia, she said.
And here is where I think the Republicans have badly overplayed their hand. There is no, and I mean no significant constituency for doing what they want to do, which is criminalizing abortion and punishing women and/or doctors. Poll after poll, 67%, 69%, 70% of people want to keep Roe. And what that means is, they want to keep a constitutional protection, said Rubin.
If that then goes back to the state legislatures, youre going to see an uproar. And I think if we havent already seen women mobilize through the #MeToo movement, through the election of Donald Trump, through the separation of children, you are going to see even more women in the streets, on the ballot, and voting to throw people out who do not recognize womens personal autonomy, said Rubin.
“The rest of your post never addresses my central point. Roe is wrong in its decision. Bad decisions like Dred Scott and Row bring about their own bad consequences until the gangrenous parasite pretending to be part of the Constitution is excised.”
Then you skimmed my post. I said the very same thing - bad decision among many, many miscarriages of justice in the history of SCOTUS.
The Supreme Court is a mess. Ultimately a bad idea with no better substitute at the moment.
Roe is a distraction. Less murdered babies is the objective. It can be done without a futile replay of Roe.
You mean people(sheeple) will actually start to pay attention to what state legislatures do again? Knock me over with a feather.
LOL - yep I'm just sure Jennifer Rubin and her 'elite' friends own guns, are trained, and willing to die for their insanity. /s
How soon until these elite trash are running ads in CraigsList looking for people to 'die for them'? Ten bucks an hour - no benefits.
Grayer hair and with more of a stink!
“Apparently she doesnt remember what happened to the last group of people that started a civil war on this country”
They won.
