Even by MSNBC standards, the network’s reaction to the downfall of Roe v. Wade was extreme as they mourned this “very dark day in America.”
Jose Diaz-Balart was the man who happened to be on the air at the moment of the announcement and he asked NBC analyst, former acting solicitor general, and Twitter self-proclaimed “extremist centrist” Neal Katyal to “give us the bigger picture.”
Katyal didn’t waste any time proclaiming the sky is falling, “This is as devastating a ruling as can be imagined.”
He then approved of Justice Breyer’s dissent, claiming women are no longer equal citizens and concluded with great solemnity “This is a complete flip from 50 years of a guaranteed constitutional right to women. It is as grave and dramatic a step as the United States Supreme Court has ever taken in our lifetimes.”
Fellow analyst and former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance followed up by lamenting, “In this country, we're so used to the courts as the guarantor of our civil rights. When states prohibited black people from voting in the south, activists went to the Court to make sure all people were treated equally in our system of government.”
After also claiming the Court doesn’t believe in equality for women, Vance then engaged in some fear-mongering:
the culture wars that led to this newly conservative 6-3 really a super majority, if you count the Chief Justice in that majority on perhaps some issues. What we don't know is what might come next. Could, for instance, Lawrence, the case that makes it possible for gay people to live in civil and marital unions, could that be the next case that falls Could there be other sorts of rights that are vulnerable?
Ultimately, this all means that “It's a very dark day in America.”
A few minutes later, Diaz-Balart welcomed law and politics analyst Dahlia Lithwick, who he asked to “paint the picture of what it means for the 50 states.”
Discovering the concept of federalism, Lithwick lamented, “it's going to mean is that there are two countries. That there are quite literally red states and blue states.”
Lithwick further predicted “we are looking at a sort of a constitutional, legal -- I don't want to use the word civil war, but I think we're going to see immense, immense bickering about where states can control conduct of other states.”
The fact that there are unanswered questions about state-to-state relations apparently proved the majority wrong, “I think it's really, really puts to the lie Justice Kavanaugh's notion that if we kick this back to the states, everyone will chill out and be happy.”
Shortly thereafter former clerk for Justice Sotomayor, Melissa Murray, who predictably decried the decision and warned of what could be next:
We're here not because of law but because of politics. This is a 6-to-3 conservative supermajority that has overruled a right that's been in place for almost 50 years. This Court has dealt with the question of abortion before. It has always upheld Roe v. Wade. What we have here is a naked political grab because they can, because they have the numbers to do so. It's also worth noting that in his concurrence to the majority opinion, Justice Thomas indicated they will not necessarily stop at just abortion. He also suggested that the court should reconsider cases like Obergefell v. Hodges which legalized gay marriage and Griswold v. Connecticut which allows for the right to contraception.
The real dark day in America was when roe v wade was passed.

My goodness. It’s a ‘dark day’ when ya can’t kill babies???
Moloch deeply saddened...
More than 63 million Americans never got their chance to live and this idiot is calling today a very dark day in America. There have been fifty plus dark years in this country because of Roe v Wade!
Yup and now the Sun is rising. All the cockroches and vampires will scatter.
That is it. What wonderful children never got the gift of life.
Who are these creatures called “women” of whom Breyer speaks? Does he mean “birthing persons”?
CNN has live action rolling of all the protests all over the country, skanks on the march, they wont need abortiins, they all too ugly to get preggers, lol
Did the pinkos at msnc somehow forget that half the victims of abortion are women?
Now I know how the former slave owners felt when Dred Scott was reversed.
Dark day women can’t play the whore, then play God and murder their own baby for any reason.
Maybe not have sex outside of a secure marriage if you can’t be responsible enough to take one of at least 8 birth control steps.
They always tell men to keep it in the pants to avoid an unwanted kid. Well ladies, follow your own advice.
You say well lets just withhold sex. You already are to 80% of guys who have very little to zero sex. Most men live in a sex desert right now, so the threat is meaningless. Maybe that means they can live without dealing with your toxic personlities, which would be a true blessing and bring more peace.
It was a darrrk and stormy night…
Dark day for who - abortion racket and pelosi? 🤪
Have the leftists forgotten how many times they told us this term is racist?
If the left understood US civics rather than communism, they would know what to do. Get abortion on the ballot and let the people vote. They claim a majotity of people support abortion. I say put it to the test. I think they fear a vote because the actual support for abortion is far less than they claim.
Asspress wrote that story first. The rest of the lazy Bolshevik louts ran with the term in repeat fashion.
June 2022. Best Pride Month Ever.
