This is monumental.
The Supreme Court has voted 6-3 to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, its precedents that declared there was a right to abortion in the United States.
“The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives,” said the syllabus of the decision released today by the court.
The majority opinion, as expected, was written by Justice Samuel Alito. He was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote a separate opinion that was “concurring in the judgment.” Thomas and Kavanaugh also wrote concurring opinions in addition to joining Alito in his decision.
Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented.
Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett were appointed to the Court by Donald J. Trump.
Thank You, Lord God Almighty. If for no other reason, Donald Trump became President for this moment in history.
Thank you Lord God Almighty… Did you really thank the Lord for Trump? I think that Trump is proof that the Lord Almighty is watching us like a scientist watches an experiment, to see what happen. Trump is the absolute antithesis of everything God and Jesus are all about.
If you want to thank someone thank Mitch. He was the judicial puppet master. Trump was going to push whoever Mitch and the Federalist Society put in front of him and then Mitch could either ram it through in days or delay for a year to get that person in.
Mark,
Your hatred of Donald Trump has disallowed you from grasping the last two lines in my brief article:
“Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett were appointed to the Court by Donald J. Trump.
Thank You, Lord God Almighty. If for no other reason, Donald Trump became President for this moment in history.”
