Vice President Harris in a new interview expressed concern that the Supreme Court and its conservative majority could “undo recognized rights” after its 2022 ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“This court has shown itself to be an activist court,” Harris told The New York Times. “I worry about fundamental freedoms across the board.“
The vice president said she didn’t want to raise any specific legal precedents the court could overturn because she didn’t want to sound “alarmist.”
“But this court has made it very clear that they are willing to undo recognized rights,” she told the outlet.

If anyone can screw up a potentially good issue for the Dems this fall, its Harris. With her at the lead, abortion won't even register as a voter concern by the time she is done her campaign.
Look in the mirror.
Sounds like insurrection.
Gee officer, driving 100 MPH is one of my recognized rights regarding fundamental freedom! Libs, you pick your recognized right and I’ll pick mine.
A whole lot sure has gone in.
The big scare tactic barrage is gonna start happening.
The more it looks like Trump may pull off a second term, the more crazed the loonies are gonna get!
It's all about killing babies.
And if SCOTUS did to "rights" that you so unsubstantiatedly and loosely claim, Ms Heels-up, it would be entirely within the limits of its jurisdiction and function.
Sit down, stop your fund-raising, and stop reading those big words prepared for you on the TelePromPTer!
States Rights. Period. As the Constitution dictates. IF you don’t like or Constitution, go to Cuba.

Court has made it very clear that they are willing to undo recognized rights.
Like securing the border that is part of the oath Biden took?.
I would say to K Mala (que mala): The Court already DID (today) kneecap a fundamental freedom provided by the 5th Amendment — they ruled that cops can keep your car a long time without due process (i.e., a reasonable prompt hearing).
Maybe the heels up VP is just making sure other women can put heels up to kill their baby.
Harris obviously knows nothing about the Constitution and separation of powers.
Marbury v. Madison (1803)
Chief Justice Marshall delivered the opinion of the Court.
Thus, the particular phraseology of the constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.
The rule must be discharged.
