Network Morning Shows: ‘Shockwaves’ and ‘Outrage’ at ‘Activist Conservative’ Court

The network morning shows sounded the alarm on Saturday, warning of the “shockwaves” and “outrage” at the “newly activist conservative” Supreme Court majority that overturned Roe vs. Wade. On Friday, Terry Moran suddenly discovered the concept of judicial activism, attacking the conservatives as “judges in politicians’ robes.” On Saturday's Good Morning America he spoke of “newly emboldened activist conservative majority.”

Moran continued his worried tone: “This morning, shockwaves across the country. In a sweeping ruling that overturned a half a century of precedents, five justices ended the right of American women to choose abortion under the Constitution.”

Over on CBS Saturday Morning, co-host Dana Jacobson also saw “shockwaves” and worried about the “Court’s five most conservative justices.”

We begin this morning with the decision that sent shockwaves across America. The Supreme Court ending constitutional protection for abortions by overturning Roe vs. Wade. In a landmark decision, Friday, the Court's five most conservative justices struck down the nearly 50-year-old ruling, and a 1992 case that reaffirmed the right to an abortion.

CBS reporter Omar Villafranca featured just one clip of a talking head politician touring the ruling and three from the pro-choice side:

ASHLEY SHELTON (Executive Director of Power Coalition for Equity and Justice): You're basically sentencing black women to death because already -- already we're dying in child birth.

...

REP. CORI BUSH: I was able to pick up the yellow pages and find the provider when I was 18 after a rape that happened when I was 17 and get the services that I needed.

...

GOV. JAY INSLEE (D-Washington): We are going to fight like hell to keep Washington a pro-choice state.

Over on NBC, NBC highlighted this ugly poster: “[Clarence] Thomas is a treasonous turd.”

Juneteenth is the holiday celebrating, when the Republicans freed the slaves from their evil Slave Master Owners, aka Elite Democrats/The KKK.

Then, on 24 June 2022, the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade!

Abortion kills 1,000 black babies every day in America. Abortion is not just a woman’s issue. It’s a human rights issue.

Abortion is the number one killer of black lives in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, abortion kills more black people than HIV, homicide, diabetes, accident, cancer, and heart disease … combined.

In 2019, black women had 38.4% of all abortions in the U.S., despite African-Americans comprising only 12.4% of the total population.

In Michigan, black women make up only about 14% of Michigan’s female population, but they had 55.4% of all abortions reported in the state in 2020.*

Roe vs. Wade is SOOOOO yesterday all ready.

Which city is on-deck for a 10+ dead shooting to get the news cycle off of this?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

If you replace “pizza” with “abortion” you can see how idiotic these morons are.

“This morning, shockwaves across the country. In a sweeping ruling that overturned a half a century of precedents, five justices ended the right of American women to eat pizza under the Constitution.”

“Uh, it’s legal to eat pizza and it’s not a Constitutional right”

“You’re racist!”

[Republican Wildcat]

A Court acknowledging the limits of its own powers and adhering to them is “activist”

Up is down, and down is up to these people.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yes, that’s the only problem I have with this, why couldn’t they wait till after the midterms to release this decision? All it does by releasing it now is give the Marxists endless ammunition, they are going to twist the hell out of it, add lie upon lie about it while the economy continues to tank and knowing the Republican party, they are just going to sit there and say absolutely nothing

Just a start Libtards, just a start.

Judicial activism is a libtard trait.....

They weren’t shocked and outraged when the court pulled rancid legal theory from their fannies in 1973.

[T Ruth]

It seems to be mostly Hollywood freaks, corporate media freaks, and Democrat politicians who are hyperventilating about the Dobbs decision.

[Nextrush]

It’s happened and I think Trump has pushed the ball down the road that’s for sure God Bless Him not to say I worship him.

The economy has tanked and that will be the big driver regardless of this drama IMHO.

[RoseofTexas]

We should not laugh but really take this seriously because this is going to be a monumental shift in the midterm elections towards the rats. This is their Covid 2 hoax on fire which is going to get their butts out of the fire. My prediction the Senate stays with the rats and the Republicans barely razor thin win congress. This has put the brakes on any red wave speak.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The court’s term is from October to June.
All decisions for this term are delivered by the end of June.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I did not know that, thanks for the head up.

[Vaduz]

Indeed with all the major problems going on in this country the left has the court ruling as number one issue.

Dangerous brain dead president
VP not any better
Take out a loan for gas and food
China influence
Oil lines and drilling on hold
