Hours after the Supreme Court issued its Friday ruling overturning Roe v. Wade and, with it, the constitutionally protected right to an abortion, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) sat down with the New York Times to voice her surprise that we’ve ended up here.
Shocked!!
She says.
Yeah…
The real shock will set in when women’s visits to doctors or hospitals FOR ANY REASON AT ALL ARE ILLEGAL OR AT BEST SUSPECT.
No getting yer “lady parts” looked after.
If I were female sex would be off the table because getting preggers is just too damned dangerous.
Since Kavs and Gorsuch lied “under oath” to congress, does this have any impact on what’s deemed acceptable when it comes to lying under oath? Seeing the highest judges in the land regard the oath as meaningless, doesn’t this cement the fact that it truly is. (It’s now precedent )
As I posted here, now it’s time for the Republicans- FOR ONCE - to play defense. Already we’re hearing, “Oh, the Democrats could’ve done something about this in Congress, but did not.” Really? Is that an EXPLANATION I’m hearing? As they say, if you’re explaining, you’ve lost. We can now play offense with a very short and very true sentence: They’re coming for your rights.
When someone has to impress upon you that he wrote a book, that means you didn’t know that he wrote the book, and so probably don’t really know (or care to know) much about him, really. You were always just gonna confirm him.
This is so ridiculous. Susan Collins aided and abetted the religious right takeover of the republican party. If she was really shocked, She would quit the party.
Unfortunately, they didn’t “lie”. They just said blah blah blah precedent. So why didn’t some Democrat ask how they felt about overturning precedent, HUH? Snark, yes, but.
If they did, it’s because you let them despite everyone telling you this is exactly what they would do given the chance and you gave them the chance. As a so-called “swing vote” on their confirmation you get to be held responsible for the upcoming list of judicial “precedents” that are about to be overturned by the Alito court. Enjoy!
