This past week, a leaked draft decision showed the Supreme Court appears ready to overturn its landmark decision establishing the right to an abortion. But the crucial vote on the future of Roe v. Wade was cast when Donald Trump was elected president.

The bombshell of a leak from the Supreme Court -- the draft decision on abortion rights – shocked much of the country.

It shouldn't have. The crucial vote on the future of Roe v. Wade wasn't cast in a Supreme Court conference room in 2022. It was cast at the polls in 2016 when Donald Trump was elected president. Shortly after Election Day, on this broadcast, President-elect Trump told us he would appoint what he called"pro-life" judges, a promise he made repeatedly during his campaign.

It took Mr. Trump one term to keep his promise and add those three votes to the court. Not every political promise is just rhetoric.

Partisanship Is Biden’s Only Choice After the Supreme Court LeakFaced with interlocking crises, President Biden seems finally ready to abandon the pretense that he could unite the fractured nation with some old-fashioned bipartisan Senate dealmaking. 2 years in. He should have seen that on Jan 6th at the absolute latest. I am so tired. Scanning the feed, I immediately presumed this tweeted lede was the fine parody of the gifted DougJBalloon; anyone else? Biden created the entire mess this country is presently in. He said he was a uniter instead from day one he created nothing but division. His inflation is just financially killing American workers.

The gathering of about 100 demonstrat… DeMocrAcY!!! So dumb! You can tell these protestors know nothing about the Constitution.

Does the supreme court justices know overturning ROE will also piss-off a large portion of non-religious right wingnuts (with guns), who already have a hate on for Washington?
