We all knew it was coming, and we all knew what the reaction would be. During the 10 am ET hour Friday, CNN’s Jim Sciutto visibly winced as he broke the news that the Supreme Court had overturned the precedent establishing abortion as a legal right.
In the wake of Roe v. Wade’s demise, here’s a little glimpse at the overwrought declarations by everyone’s favorite usual suspects in TV news:
MSNBC’s Joyce Vance had a rather network-appropriate action to the ruling:
This is a tough situation. I think we all knew that this was coming. I think we expected for it to feel bad. I’m not sure we all fully appreciated how devastating it would feel to to see the words on the paper condemning women to second-class citizenship.
ABC’s Terry Moran appeared disappointed that nearly two months of threats and protesting (not to mention an assassination attempt) had failed to sway any of the justices to reconsider. “Alito had written previously that, ‘We cannot allow our decisions to be affected by any extraneous influences such as concern about the public’s reaction to our work,’ Moran noted, continuing: “that’s exactly what they’ve done here; they’ve ignored any potential public reaction.”
Over on NBC, chief legal analyst Chuck Todd offered some predictably dramatic takes about the Supreme Court’s legitimacy: “I think there are no more black robes. I think the robes are red and blue.” He added: “There really is a lot of people who believe that this is a rigged court.”
Over at CNN, legal analyst and Zoom enthusiast Jeffrey Toobin proclaimed that the decision would lead to “a legal civil war between the states.”
Saw some bed sheets with ‘ impeach scotus’ scrawled this afternoon hanging from a blue pedestrian people people overpast near chapel hell Nc .
Laughed out loud.
thanks for posting. Other sites will be compiling similar meltdowns but MRC was the first one I saw.
Not kidding. Saw him assert it a few times live on Gerta Von Cistern's program, and again on (live) with Schmidt. I searched for a youtube of it, none up yet, that I could find.
The gun bill does not affect me one iota. I am for background checks and have enough guns already. The abortion decision is about life, and Billion times more important than guns. It is disgusting beyond belief to kill a fetus which feels intense pain when butchered.
The MSM uses a decision like this to further the establishment/globalist agenda…which is to destroy the US Constitution.
They talk about “democracy”…well this decision is all about democracy. 9 justices no longer control your body…you get to vote on it at the state level
See my tagline. The war is ever on-going with these people.
If EVERY woman went on a sex strike, the 80-85% of men not getting sex in their lives now, would be 100% unaffected.
And if the women that look like Behar went on strike, so many men would he thanking God for that. It would backfire wonderfully.
SCOTUS Deniers
Roe was made of twigs. Its end was inevitable.
