JUST IN - U.S. Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe vs. Wade, an initial draft majority opinion by Justice Alito shows.
Who leaked the info out?
Per a comment on Benny Johnson FB feed, the decision would be coming in June.
Honest legal scholars understand that it was never a solid decision and was ripe for reversal. If they wanted abortion to be the law of the land, they needed to make it the law. It has always been intellectual laziness on part of the pro abortion crowd to never go in that direction.
Lets give DJT credit if this turns out true with Barrett, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh said to be in a 5-4 majority.
It’s a great Trump victory.
Think logically.
Who ever is leaking is doing it with an agenda and/or anonymity, or both.
To risk this, assuming it basically will be soon a done deal, is likely pro-baby-murder, and probably thinks this leak might help throw a monkey wrench into the process to try their best to stop it. However, what they are not contending with: NCSWIC. Nothing. And, that includes taking down Roe.
Women are not going to want to have the legal right to murder someone taken away. They like the special status no one else has.
You are probably correct with one exception. The leftist on the Supreme Court are activists. I could well see them leaking for political purposes.
Roe v Wade is an abomination not because of abortion, which I abhor. It is an abomination due to making up law out of whole cloth not based on the constitution and an usurpation of states rights. They said it is based on the "right of privacy." That is just plain damn crap. If I decide to kill my newly born daughter in the privacy of my home this logic makes it legal. It is crap logic.
As mentioned I abhor this procedure. Constitutionally it is a function of each and individual state. We are a Republic of individual states and not a federal democracy.
If California wants to makes this obscenity legal it is their full right.
What would prevent Congress from outlawing it at a national level?
With which Justices?
To what extent?
With what language?
Allowing for what?
This is simply awful, not the suggested decision itself, but the purported leak of a decision before it is finalized. SCOTUS decisions go through several changes before released. A draft will be circulated among the justices, one justice will then introduce more case law, minds will be changed, and the final decision may not be anywhere close to the initial draft.
SCOTUS clerks are drilled excessively regarding their responsibilities not to discuss the drafting process with anyone, not even their spouse. If a true draft has been released, heads will roll, and people will lose their careers for life. They will be unemployable even at CNN. People who are celebrating do not realize how serious this is to our judicial system and especially to the Supreme Court and its employees.
This is a liberal made up document to put pressure on Democrats in Congress for the next 2 months.
Some lib law clerk violated their oath and should lose their legal career.
The story points to the Trump appointed justices key in the 5-4 majority so go with Trump in the primaries support his candidates.
I don’t doubt that this is the real position of Alito and Thomas.
It wasn’t those two I was concerned about.
It’s pretty close, but they can still change their votes before ruling is issued.
Pray hard.
The story claims five for this decision Alito, Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Thomas.
All women?
You have to identify them first. I imagine that draft opinions go through dozens and dozens of hands as it makes its rounds.
As Chief Justice, Roberts is known to have a soft spot for relative unanimity. Do you really think he would join the minority in a 5-4 decision just because he disagrees with a strongly worded stand against Roe?
