1. Jennifer Ruben is a dipstick. Calling her a "conservative commentator" during her introduction is also completely disingenuous.
2. She's not calling for a civil war at all. She uses the term to describe the fifty state by state legislative battles that will surely ensue if/when Roe v. Wade is overturned.
Now let's address point #2. My own opinion is Roe v. Wade was nothing less than the USSC creating a "right" out of thin air through a complete usurpation of States Rights. The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is very specific and deliberate in saying: "Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled."
Clearly the United States Supreme Court violated the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution and this wrong needs to be undone. Roe v. Wade is indeed the battleground and I'll tell you point blank it's going to be the first of several.
This is why I've said from the beginning of the debate over who the next USSC Justice is, they need to be a STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST and ORIGINALIST in the mold of Justices Scalia and Thomas.
The Constitution of the United States is not a living, breathing document. It is a LEGAL Document and binding contract upon which our Founding Fathers built the foundations of this country.
That it is a legal document and binding contract is undoubtedly the intent of our Founding Fathers because they also gave us a process by which to change it. It's a long, arduous process requiring an overwhelming majority of states to change for a very specific reason: Our Founders knew fickle will of the people was no way to run a country. Structured, well thought through debate and consensus were really the only way to do it.
Roe v. Wade was nothing short of a slap in the face by the USSC to our Founding Fathers and a complete usurpation of States Rights and the proper role of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of our government.
In short, the USSC via Roe v. Wade became judge, jury and executioner over the most innocent among us - the unborn.
(Someone needs to make that last sentence go viral - it's true, short, sweet and to the point. Damn I wish it didn't take me so many words to get there.)
Would love to hear your thoughts on the last sentence: "In short, the USSC via Roe v. Wade became judge, jury and executioner over the most innocent among us - the unborn."
I think that's a completely factual, succinct assessment of Roe v. Wade. What say you?

Yes ..... it is brilliant.

Concise summation of your thoughts, and I a completely agree.

All your words were necessary for your statement FRiend.
