House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Screen Capture)

(CNSNews.com) - At her Thursday press briefing, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi presented a list of issues and groups of people she believes will be “on the chopping block” if the Senate confirms Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

“If Judge Kavanaugh is confirmed, Roe v. Wade, affordable health care, voting rights, common-sense gun violence prevention, freedoms of LGBTQ Americans, communities of colors and immigrants are all on the chopping block, just to name a few,” Pelosi said.

“And if he doesn't believe in stare decisis as established law, everything is on the table. Again, voting rights, civil rights, Brown v. the Board of Education. All right?” she said.

Brown v. Board of Education was the unanimous 1954 decision in which the Supreme Court ruled that racially segregated schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Here is an excerpt from Pelosi’s briefing where she discusses Kavanaugh:

“This week, the nation has witnessed the confirmation hearings for the most radical anti-health care, anti-choice Supreme Court nominee in recent history, a nominee who thinks that President Trump is above the law.

“We recognize the right of a president to make appointments. We have a disagreement over a couple of things, in terms of issues and values and, apparently, there's also a disagreement about stare decisis. If something’s established law, is it established law?

“But when you go beyond the various challenges, cases that come before the court and say the president is above the law and should not be questioned, he's far too busy to be questioned.

“He didn't feel that way, in contradiction to his vile proposed questions that he wanted posed to President Clinton. I'm sure you're familiar with them.

“If Judge Kavanaugh is confirmed, Roe v. Wade, affordable health care, voting rights, common-sense gun violence prevention, freedoms of LGBTQ Americans, communities of colors and immigrants are all on the chopping block, just to name a few.

“And if he doesn't believe in stare decisis as established law, everything is on the table. Again, voting rights, civil rights, Brown v. the Board of Education. All right?

“Our focus has been in--since his name came forward and he was proposed, on health care and Roe v. Wade, because they have such clarity and immediacy for the American people in their lives. And that might be a way to stop this nomination.”

Is that like Biden saying if Republicans won we’d put blacks back in chains?

Well, we won - and blacks have the lowest unemployment rate since 1969...

[How many times a day is a chopping clock correct?]

I would guess twice a day.

Unless it’s a VCR Chopping Clock. Then it probably just blinks “12:00” endlessly.

Someone is going to have to update Captain Kirk Meets Nancy Pelosi! Spock said “It’s beginning”.

Funny, Pelosi represents one of the whitest and richest districts in San Francisco.
Rats can always do and say whatever they want.

I have never seen a bunch of lying lunatics as I have with the DemocRATS in these hearings.
Lying their @$$es off. Disparaging a fine Judge.

Attacking his wife a children and condoning it.

Just goes to show that the DemocRATs of today are truly lower than whale sh!t, and they like it that way.

And remember that they had their hacks outside paying people off to go to the meeting and protest.

The fine outstanding members of the sick, demented, perverted and now totally off their rocker Democratic Party.

I would guess he was behind the Resolute Desk at that moment and one wouldn’t be allowed to do that anyways. /rimshot

I wonder if a Muzzi is allowed to scream “you hit my a**” while praying to Allah.

Slavery was established law in the United States for over 200 years, explicitly backed by the United States Constitution.

However, many people fought it until it was vanquished.

I figured you meant they were praying to the Obama in the WH.

Guess that’s a nicer way to say it. LOL

She and her fellow Democrats have created a monster they can no longer feed adequately, and are in danger of being eaten long before those folks get close to us.

This is a great object lesson for the Leftists.

If those who have lead in this, are the very first ones to go, who will be second to go?

None of them are safe from the dangerous eventuality they are seeking desperately to reach.

Yes they do.

Imagine, if the Black and Hispanic communities could just knock off the crime in their areas. Those areas would be policed like White communities are now.

They would be as safe and as relatively tranquil.

No knees needed. Just healthy robust communities seeking to improve things even more.
