Nancy wrongly says it’s a nationwide ban on abortion; it just goes back to States. She is lying to get votes in November.
She says yesterday SCOTUS ruled that States can’t dictate constitutional rights and today they ruled against it. She said it’s been a constitutional right for 50 years. It shouldn’t take more than a couple brain cells to figure out the constitution was written more than 50 years ago so it’s not a constitutional right, but the right to bear arms is.

I’m certainly not disappointed any time that Nancy Pelosi gets taken down a notch or two. She is wrong on this & other Supreme Court & Constitutional issues...and possibly most everything else as well. If this will help get her out of politics...well, HALLELUJAH! Her time has come & gone some time ago. We need a House Speaker that truly is that; not her & hopefully we’ll soon have one. Hopefully, the next SOH will understand & uphold the Constitution. I believe they take an oath to that effect & Nancy should have been dismissed according to that a long time ago.

brace for all the noise to stack the court. I think that is a real possibility now.

She believes that if somebody in congress or in the White House calls something unconstitutional, therefore it is unconstitutional. She also believes that if somebody in power calls something constitutional (though not in the constitution), therefore it is.

The ruling on guns is about a constitutional right, granted in the constitution and since the country was founded (or shortly thereafter).

The abortion ruling is about a states right issue, where if something is not specifically a right under the U.S. constitution, it is a state-level decision to be made, and not by a federal court or a federal law.

Pelosi is either ignorant of the constitution, or deliberately lying about the constitution. She knows that a lot of people in the U.S. don't know what is or not in the constitution, and hopes she can reach those ignorant people with her absurdly wrong rhetoric.

Every time somebody in power calls something constitutional or not constitutional, they should be challenged on the veracity of her/his statements.

[Pelosi] says yesterday SCOTUS ruled that States can’t dictate constitutional rights and today they ruled against it.

Madame Speaker assumes facts not in evidence: Unlike right to bear arms, right to abortion never mentioned in the Constitution.

Justice Alito writing in today's Dobbs decision:

For the first 185 years after the adoption of the Constitution, each State was permitted to address this issue in accordance with the views of its citizens. Then, in 1973, this Court decided Roe v. Wade, 410 U. S. 113. Even though the Constitution makes no mention of abortion, the Court held that it confers a broad right to obtain one. It did not claim that American law or the common law had ever recognized such a right, and its survey of history ranged from the constitutionally irrelevant (e.g., its discussion of abortion in antiquity) to the plainly incorrect (e.g., its assertion that abortion was probably never a crime under the common law). After cataloging a wealth of other information having nobearing on the meaning of the Constitution, the opinion concluded with a numbered set of rules much like those that might be found in a statute enacted by a legislature.

Under this scheme, each trimester of pregnancy was regulated differently, but the most critical line was drawn atroughly the end of the second trimester, which, at the time,corresponded to the point at which a fetus was thought toachieve “viability,” i.e., the ability to survive outside thewomb. Although the Court acknowledged that States had a legitimate interest in protecting “potential life,”1 it found that this interest could not justify any restriction on previability abortions. The Court did not explain the basis for this line, and even abortion supporters have found it hard to defend Roe’s reasoning. (emphasis added) (footnote omitted).

They’re ALL lying about it being a “nationwide ban”, I’m sure to incite at least some violence.

It’s been a constitutional right for 50 years but the real question is has it been a constitutional right for 230 years?

” She is lying to get votes in November”

Exactly and you will be hearing it a lot. If you are stupid enough to vote for the rats then you will be stupid enough to
believe it.
