Leaked Supreme Court Decision signals majority set to overturn Roe v. Wade

[Rev. Rye]

Honestly, thinking a bit about it, if we were to play the game IA's been playing, of trying to blame ANYONE but the Republicans who've been fighting tooth and nail to jack up the system and make this happen, why not blame Barack Obama? When the Republican-controlled Senate decided they wouldn't hold a vote on any Supreme Court nominee Obama appointed, there was a good chance Obama could have just decided that, because the Senate wasn't going to do their job of advising and consenting, it would be necessary to just put Garland on the court, and Constitutional scholars have made that exact argument. But he was too busy taking the high road to do so. Frankly, Anton Walbrook had the right idea:

If you let yourself be defeated by them, just because you are too fair to hit back the same way they hit at you, there won't be any methods *but* Nazi methods! If you preach the Rules of the Game while they use every foul and filthy trick against you, they will laugh at you! They'll think you're weak, decadent! [...] This time you're fighting for your very existence against the most devilish idea ever created by a human brain - Nazism. And if you lose, there won't be a return match next year... perhaps not even for a hundred years.

And the fact that Alito's opinion heavily implies that any rights that did not exist in 1787 are disposable makes the second part more poignant.

And this is from someone who actually DID vote for Obama three times, just to be clear.
