Democrats seethe as GOP appears poised for victory on abortion
Thehill.com ^ | 5/4/22 | Alexander Bolton

Democratic lawmakers are furious that Republicans appear poised to win their nearly five-decade battle to overturn Roe v. Wade, a cause that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) advanced by helping stock the Supreme Court with conservative justices.

A leaked opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito declaring the landmark abortion rights case “egregiously wrong” caps twenty years of combat between Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and McConnell and other Republicans over the composition of the court.

Republicans often accuse Schumer of sparking the Senate’s judicial confirmation wars in 2003 by leading Democratic opposition to then-President George W. Bush’s conservative appellate-court nominees, such as Miguel Estrada, who were seen at the time as potential Supreme Court nominees.

Now McConnell is on the cusp of a major victory as the Supreme Court is poised to strike down the controversial abortion decision that mobilized conservative activists for five decades — and Democrats are seething over it.

“If we had to pick a word that our caucus feels, it’s infuriated. Infuriated by the alleged decision, infuriated by the lies these justices told us when they said they’d respect precedent, infuriated by our Republican colleagues who don’t tell the truth,” Schumer told reporters after a Senate Democratic lunch meeting.

Row V Wade should be restricted to to a serious, detailed discussion on how to get to your favorite fishing hole. And that is all.

Not sure why the Lefty DEMs would be ‘seething’ given they can’t even define woman. But assuredly, Margaret Sanger rolled over in her grave........./s

The real story is Democrats are worried about an election year so they leaked a draft ruling that wasn’t going to finalized in order to rally their troops.

It was Biden, the “devout Catholic,” who started the confirmation wars by “Borking” Judge Bork, then trying a “high-tech lynching” onJustice Thomas.

I think if the ruling was just to let the Mississippi law stand, it wouldn’t have been leaked, though that would’ve been seen as a defective overturning of Roe vs Wade. But Alito’s opinion is a full-featured overruling. And the little leftist leaker, whoever it is, couldn’t wait till late June.

The GOP? Some of them are as despicable as the baby-killing democrat pedophiles.

No, it's the babies who win here, pure and simple.

Like the Dems didn’t know this was coming. Collins saying that the judges she talked to said they wouldn’t overturn Roe is a lie. They are not allowed to give info that would say how they were going to vote. Amy was particularly clear on the matter.

“The real story is Democrats are worried about an election year so they leaked a draft ruling that wasn’t going to finalized in order to rally their troops.”

This “leak” was intended to bring mothers of school aged children back to the reservation. The Democrats, with their gender pronoun, CRT, and drag queen reading day policies destroyed their soccer mom voting block.
