Remember - Roberts said decisions by judges are never made politically!

I knew Kavanaugh was gonna be another Kennedy. Milquetoast lowlife.

I have to agree with Roberts and Kavanaugh on not hearing this one. Neither Kansas nor Louisiana went to the trouble to show where funds for “low income women’s health” went. If it could be PROVEN that these funds were being used for abortions - and that’s pretty much all that PP does - then I’d’ve said go for it with this case but without actual documentation of how they lie and skirt the law I don’t see how the SCOTUS could rule it was unconstitutional. They wouldn’t even be able to prove what they were ruling on.

Thomas would only say this if he is genuinely disgusted with Kavanaugh and Roberts. Is there any rational reason Trump could not have come up with a rabid pitbull that we all want so much to be in our corner? Instead it appears that we got another Bambi.

The brightest Constitutional Legal Mind on the Bench.

When I saw this topic on another Thread it looked like the Case was Voted down by the SCOTUS because PP Funding was a Federal Law that the States had to follow and could only be repealed by the United States Congress.

This version casts a different light on what really happened.

Of course I understand that the Federal Government cannot directly fund Abortion, but the monies represented here are Fungible. At least that’s how they get around the issue.

I'm sorry I wasted any time defending Kavanaugh. It seems that he and Roberts both want to be the new swing justice.

I have an opinion on egotistical swing justices which I will refrain from expressing here lest I be banned.

If there is any bright side at all, it is the jack@$$ party shot so much of their capital on Kavanaugh that when Ruth Bader Ginsberg is called to meet her maker, Trump can nominate a real conservative rather than just another moderate squish.

Amy Coney Barrett would have been SO MUCH better, but then again, hindsight is 20/20.

I think Thomas spoke out because of Kavanaugh. I’d think Thomas had higher hopes for the new Justice.. and the big disappointment. Just letting him know this was not the time to side with the less branch of the 9.

Looks like we really have a 4-2-3 court.

4 liberals, 2 fence sitters and 3 conservatives.

First impression of Kavanugh is not good. I’m still not sure he was all that great a pick. Time will tell...

How did funding of PP become a federal issue? Did the states delegate funding yo the feds? If not, it would still be a state call, right? Isn’t that in the Constitution? 10th amendment or something?

“Quit Abdicating Our Judicial Duty”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thomas said essentially the same thing about the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

Justice Thomas seems to have been changing his temperament a bit lately. I think maybe the Kavanaugh mob attack brought back some memories and pissed him off.

believe this has to do with Medicaid payments by the state to PP for services other than abortion.

Clarence Thomas - an excellent choice by G.H.W. Bush.
