[Choose Ye This Day]

So now the Dems are on the States-rights bandwagon. So do they now support a state's right to outlaw abortion, thus making a federal Roe v. Wade decision irrelevant?

Laura Ingraham PING!

Good question - how mny states had a law on the books against abortion at the time of Roe v. Wade? 38? Over 40?

Whether it's the issue of marriage, prayer at football games, or God in the Pledge of Allegiance, we've seen courts from coast to coast venture far beyond proper role in a naked attempt to create a new, forward-thinking social, political, and cultural framework.

Thanks for the ping. Another strong effort by Ingraham.

My only difference with her is in her use of the phrase "forward-thinking". I refuse to believe that the trashing of our national values and scandalization of our culture is "forward-thinking" in any way.

[NutCrackerBoy]

Too many courts have become agents for the most radical forces in our society. By now everyone should understand why Sen. Chuck Schumer & Co. have been fighting so viciously to block Bush's judicial nominees-the Courts are the one place where the Left has been consistently winning. -Laura Ingraham

Millions of middle-of-the-road Democrats believe the party line that judicial nominees like Priscilla Owen are rabid right-wingers. It would be great if half of those millions withdrew their support for Democrat candidates until the national party pulled back their obstruction.

[Choose Ye This Day]

Good point. Maybe "progressive-thinking" would be better, as "progressive" is currently defined in the political arena, to mean: high taxes, low morals.

[Moleman]

Wow, thanks for the picture Laurra is pretty hot- and smart.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Why not call it what it is: "damaging"?

[ClearCase_guy]

In 100 years (less, actually) the Roe v Wade decision will be seamlessly linked with the Dred Scott decision as examples of terrible court decisions that led to long periods of suffering in the US before a moral status quo was re-asserted.

The homosexual marriage decisisons are the spark that sets the fire, but the fuel has been piling up for over 30 years.

Good question - how mny states had a law on the books against abortion at the time of Roe v. Wade? 38? Over 40?

More than 30 states allowed some form of legal abortion at the time of Roe v. Wade.

I'm listening to George Will on the Laura Ingraham Show right now, and he just pointed out that the most reckless SCOTUS justices of the last 40 years were appointed by Republicans: Warren, Brennan, Stevens, and Souter.

Scary.

[SAMWolf]

Restraining the judiciary must be the top priority for conservative from now until judges get back to the business of judging.

I have a problem with that "forward thinking" remark, too. It seems to lend a credibility were none exists. "Forward thinking" took us from the stagecoach to the 747. Taking us down a slime-covered path to moral decay is "evil thinking".

[Morgan in Denver]

Ingraham writes well on this. I just wish she wasn't such a whiner on her radio program. Her constant whining is grating to listen to so I keep having to change stations.Ingraham writes well on this.

[Redcoat LI]

The Anne Coulter doctrine of posting a picture on the thread needs to be extended to Laura Ingraham.

Show of hands if you agree.

[axel f]

I have been to leftist events. In addition to calling their ideas "progressive" they always call themselves "forward-thinking." I think Ingraham was mocking them.

[boop]

Help me to understand how 60-70% of Americans being opposed to homosexual marriage are all "right wing". Why are liberals never asked about this? Even a majority of democrats oppose gay marriage. If anything it is a "wedge issue" for the democrat leadership. This is a GOOD thing.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Indeed. But when mocking, authors should use quotation marks. Considering the proven track record the opposition has for taking comments out of context, why take the chance?

[capydick]

Excellent Point!!!

I hope that W uses this exact analogy in the campaign. If you think this is a States Rights issue, than you cant pick and choose which issues belong to the States and which issues you believe the Federal Government decrees. Why pick the gay marriage issue as a State Right but not abortion, the Right to Carry, etc. Hammer the RAT with this point and it will result in additional votes for W.

[axel f]

I agree.

[axel f]

She looks even better in person.
