McConnell says national abortion ban ‘possible’

[Fightin Whitey]

Why does he fall for this and say exactly what the dems want him to say?

He'd rather eat a mile of sheetrock than give up his "fame" and "power."

Truly disgusting, and damned near treasonous, the foul piece of dung.

[TexasGurl24]

That’s not what the draft opinion says. It just says that it’s not a constitutional right.

[Jamestown1630]

If that happened, couldn’t it still be challenged and wind up in the SC anyway?

[EEGator]

That’s why the turtle ran his mouth.

[D Rider]

Tenth Ammendment - "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”

So does this have any meaning anymore?

Deep State is threatening wayward Dems.

Keep voting for our candidates or there goes your access to abortion.

I hate to break it to pro-choicers, but if Deep State isn’t stopped, a lack of access to legal abortion will be the least of their problems.

"Must be an election coming up for him to say that."

He's had plenty of other opportunities over the years. Why now?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Not to Congress. They pretty much destroyed by the deliberate misinterpretation of the interstate commerce clause.

He is using the same talking points as the dems: that the GOP wants to ban abortion nationwide at the federal level when they certainly lack the votes, the will and the constitutional authority to do that. It will only serve to energize the left and rouse soccer moms to take the bait the dems have been serving up.

He's trying to finish the job he started by helping to have the GOP yield all the redistricting fights to democrats by "incompetence": keep the dems competetive so if needed they can stop Trump and probably DeSantis if it comes to it in 2024.

That’s what Scalia said.

Not really, no. Alito said it was up to the people and their elected representatives. That could include state, local, or federal.

You see states make their own laws when it come to alcohol.

You mean like setting minimum drinking ages?

[DoodleDawg]

The SCOTUS want’s to turn the current ruling over to the States where it should be.

In Missouri we have a state legislator submitting a bill making it a crime for a Missouri resident to travel to another state to get an abortion. How long will states that ban abortion sit still as their residents drive across the border and get an abortion before they insist on a national solution, which the draft of the decision makes perfectly legal?

[Jamestown1630]

You can’t make a law like that, any more than you can make it a crime to go to another state to undergo heart surgery or dental work. A law like that wouldn’t stand up.
