Chaos, USA. Unprecedented Supreme Court Breach. Dems Attempt to Intimidate. Insurrection, War on Democracy! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: It is a full out assault on the Supreme Court
0:03
Speaker 1: and the justices by someone who was probably clerking at
0:09
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court for a liberal justice who decided to
0:13
Speaker 1: hand deliver were assumed documents to Politico so that there
0:16
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a paper trail that the FBI could find.
0:20
Speaker 1: This is an assault on the institution because when Democrats
0:23
Speaker 1: don't get their way, they want anarchy, they want chaos,
0:27
Speaker 1: they want people's lives to be threatened. Now, to be clear,
0:30
Speaker 1: the intent of this idiot was, probably or idiots involved,
0:35
Speaker 1: was to try to put extreme pressure on the Supreme
0:39
Speaker 1: Court justices to change their mind before the ruling came out.
0:42
Speaker 1: Except that's not going to happen. What this person has done,
0:46
Speaker 1: whoever decided to leak this draft opinion is now revealing
0:51
Speaker 1: the Democrats will stop at nothing to destroy people or
0:55
Speaker 1: places or institutions, including the Supreme Court. This is a
0:59
Speaker 1: massive elation of the separation of powers and this person
1:03
Speaker 1: deserves to go to jail for doing this. This is
1:06
Speaker 1: an assault on an institution and how it works. This
1:09
Speaker 1: has never happened before, so you understand the gravity of
1:13
Speaker 1: the situation. Politico, by the way, who leak, you know,
1:18
Speaker 1: got the leaked opinion piece Politico just so you know,
1:22
Speaker 1: should have never run this. There's lots of stories that
1:25
Speaker 1: Politico gets that they do not run. Now. Of course
1:27
Speaker 1: they ran this one because they knew it would cement
1:30
Speaker 1: Politico maybe forever or certainly for at least the next
1:34
Speaker 1: decade is a place to go and grab news. They
1:37
Speaker 1: never should have run this story, this exclusive now. Their
1:42
Speaker 1: headline says, the Supreme Court is voted to overturn abortion rights.
1:46
Speaker 1: Draft opinion shows, quote, we hold that Roe and Casey
1:50
Speaker 1: must be overruled. As to what Justicelito writes in an
1:53
Speaker 1: initial majority draft circulated inside the Court that has now
1:57
Speaker 1: been released months before this was supposed to come down,
2:01
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark
2:05
Speaker 1: rov Way decision, according to an initial draft majority of
2:09
Speaker 1: written by Justice Alito circulated inside the Court obtained by Politico.
2:13
Speaker 1: Their headline says the draft opinion is a full throated, unflinching,
2:20
Speaker 1: They say, unflinching attack of the nineteen seventy three decision,
2:30
Speaker 1: which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights, and a
2:35
Speaker 1: subsequent nineteen ninety two decision, planned Parenthood v. Casey that
2:40
Speaker 1: largely maintained the right quote Roe was egregiously wrong from
2:44
Speaker 1: the start Alito rights quote, we hold that Rowe and
2:49
Speaker 1: Casey must be overruled. That is what was the document
2:55
Speaker 1: labeled as the opinion of the Court said, it's time
2:57
Speaker 1: to heed the constitution return the issue of a to
3:00
Speaker 1: the people's elected representatives, which means to the state. Now.
3:05
Speaker 1: To be clear, this isn't saying that we are saying
3:07
Speaker 1: that abortion is going to be banned. It's saying it's
3:09
Speaker 1: going to go back to the state's rights issue. Of course,
3:12
Speaker 1: the left doesn't want you to know that, or understand that,
3:15
Speaker 1: or understand separation of powers or understand how this works.
3:18
Speaker 1: Deliberations political rights on controvertial cases, having the past been fluid,
3:23
Speaker 1: Justices can sometimes do change and sometimes and do change
3:28
Speaker 1: their votes as draft opinions circulate at major decisions can
3:33
Speaker 1: be subject to multiple drafts and vote trading, sometimes until
3:36
Speaker 1: just days before a decision is unveiled. The Court's holding
3:40
Speaker 1: will not be final until it is published, likely in
3:42
Speaker 1: the next two months, and that's exactly why this was leaked.
3:48
Speaker 1: This was leaked to put extreme pressure on Supreme Court
3:51
Speaker 1: justices to change their vote and The reason why they
3:56
Speaker 1: want to change their vote is because that they are
3:58
Speaker 1: afraid for their lives. That's what they're saying. That's how
4:04
Speaker 1: this is going to go down. That's why it was leaked.
4:09
Speaker 1: They want this to become a major issue. They want
4:14
Speaker 1: this to become so much pressure. They want this to
4:17
Speaker 1: become an election issue as well. Look what happens when
4:20
Speaker 1: you vote for Republicans. They take away your right to vote.
4:26
Speaker 1: That's what they're going to say. They're going to take
4:29
Speaker 1: away your right to have an abortion. Now, whoever did
4:34
Speaker 1: this deserves to be in jail. The fact that they
4:38
Speaker 1: did this tells you everything you need to know, right,
4:42
Speaker 1: The fact that they did this tells you all that
4:46
Speaker 1: you need to know about how radical the leftist. Remember
4:50
Speaker 1: what they did during the confirmation hearings of the different
4:54
Speaker 1: Conservatives that were put on the court by Donald Trump.
4:58
Speaker 1: Remember that they accused court justices of being junior high
5:03
Speaker 1: rape partiers that plan rate parties to rate people. Right,
5:08
Speaker 1: this is what they did to people. They made things up,
5:12
Speaker 1: just like they made up Russian collusion, just like they
5:15
Speaker 1: made up that Donald Trump had a connection to a
5:19
Speaker 1: bank in Russia, just like they made up the Dalcia
5:23
Speaker 1: and they knew it was a lie, and they still
5:25
Speaker 1: went with it to impeach Donald Trump. This is no
5:28
Speaker 1: different way what they did with Supreme Court justices. Never
5:31
Speaker 1: forget that this is no different than what they're doing
5:35
Speaker 1: right now. Never forget that this is pure evil. This
5:42
Speaker 1: is basically I would describe as a kill list, a
5:44
Speaker 1: hit list. If there's any crazy psychotic leftists out there,
5:49
Speaker 1: and there are plenty, here's your list of conservatives that
5:51
Speaker 1: maybe you could go after and change the vote. That's
5:54
Speaker 1: also part of this, and I'm not saying that it's
5:56
Speaker 1: already online people are talking about maybe somebody will do
5:59
Speaker 1: the right thing as they describe it. I can't even
6:03
Speaker 1: imagine what the security is going to have to be
6:05
Speaker 1: like for the next three months or two months until
6:08
Speaker 1: the opinion comes out. Can't imagine what this is going
6:12
Speaker 1: to be like, what it's going to look like for
6:14
Speaker 1: their lives as they go around. They're not going to
6:16
Speaker 1: be able to go out to dinner. They're not going
6:18
Speaker 1: to be able to live and function this summer the
6:21
Speaker 1: way they normally do. The amount of security they are
6:24
Speaker 1: going to need to walk around and they and whoever
6:26
Speaker 1: leaked this or the people that leak this. That is
6:28
Speaker 1: exactly why they did it, and that's why they did
6:31
Speaker 1: it on purpose. This this is a conscientious, deliberate decision
6:36
Speaker 1: that was done by those on the left to not
6:40
Speaker 1: only attack Alito and others, but it was to endanger
6:44
Speaker 1: their lives. Because when you do this, that's exactly what
6:47
Speaker 1: you get out of it. This has never happened before.
6:51
Speaker 1: By the way, this is an unprecedented event that has
6:57
Speaker 1: taken place. I want you to also understand that this
7:01
Speaker 1: is unprecedented in scope, This is unprecedent in the way
7:04
Speaker 1: that it was released. And Politico, by the way, should
7:07
Speaker 1: have never done this because Politico has now put Supreme
7:10
Speaker 1: Court justices lives at risk. But I'm not sure they
7:13
Speaker 1: care because man, it's a bait. It's a great headline.
7:17
Speaker 1: They even put it out there. Deliberations on controversial cases
7:20
Speaker 1: have in the past been fluid. In other words, they're
7:23
Speaker 1: implying put extreme pressure on these justices. Justice can and
7:27
Speaker 1: sometimes do change their vote since draft opinions circulate and
7:30
Speaker 1: major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote trading. Again,
7:34
Speaker 1: put extreme pressure on the Supreme Court. The Republican, the
7:37
Speaker 1: conservative justices that are on there, right, because we know
7:41
Speaker 1: who's on that side of the vote. Now, go after them,
7:45
Speaker 1: stock them using the words of democrats, get in their face,
7:48
Speaker 1: don't let them go shopping, don't let them pump gas,
7:51
Speaker 1: don't let them do anything, don't let them function in society,
7:58
Speaker 1: hound them, get in their face. Is remember when Democrats
8:01
Speaker 1: said that about people that supported Donald Trump. You don't
8:04
Speaker 1: think they're trying to do the exact same thing right now,
8:06
Speaker 1: because that's exactly what they're trying to do. As exactly
8:10
Speaker 1: what they are trying to do right now. Let's talk
8:15
Speaker 1: about the media for a second and how they're reacting
8:18
Speaker 1: to this. Oh, they've got some hot takes on this.
8:20
Speaker 1: You think they're worried about the historical context of what
8:23
Speaker 1: just happened. No, you think they're worried or upset about
8:31
Speaker 1: this being leaked and what this does and how this
8:34
Speaker 1: changes things with our Supreme Court, how it undermines this institution.
8:40
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. They are not worried about that at all,
8:44
Speaker 1: because this is great for them, This is great TV.
8:49
Speaker 1: They don't care about anybody's lives being ruined, destroyed, stalked,
8:53
Speaker 1: having to go into lockdown. They don't care. This is
8:56
Speaker 1: a direct attack on the institution. They don't care because, man,
9:01
Speaker 1: this is a great story. It's a great story for Politico,
9:05
Speaker 1: it's a great story for everybody else involved. This is
9:09
Speaker 1: just an amazing moment for them. This morning, Pete Williams
9:14
Speaker 1: on the Scotus League, he has some sort of I
9:18
Speaker 1: think journalism, journalistic integrity and understanding of the Supreme Court.
9:23
Speaker 1: This is what he had to say on NBC MSNBC
9:26
Speaker 1: this morning when he was asked about this. Listen straight
9:29
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court where we find NBC News Justice
9:31
Speaker 1: correspondent Pete Williams. Pete, good morning. You've had a wild
9:35
Speaker 1: to digest this, to read through some of this draft opinion.
9:38
Speaker 1: What more are you hearing about it this morning? Well,
9:41
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious that this is as far
9:44
Speaker 1: as you would expect an opponent of Road to go here.
9:46
Speaker 1: This is Aldo basically demolishing all the arguments in favor
9:51
Speaker 1: of Roe, saying it was wrongly decided from the very beginning,
9:54
Speaker 1: marshaling all the examples. He can think of a people
9:57
Speaker 1: who presumably supported Roe, who have always been a it's
10:01
Speaker 1: a very far reaching a draft opinion. Now, how it's
10:05
Speaker 1: going to come out in the end, we don't know.
10:07
Speaker 1: I mean, typically majority opinions start out this way. You
10:10
Speaker 1: make all of your big points, and then you take
10:12
Speaker 1: into account that dissent and some of the fight, some
10:15
Speaker 1: of the sharper ridges get sanded off in the process.
10:18
Speaker 1: But one thing about this Willie that really puzzles me
10:20
Speaker 1: is I don't understand the point of this leak. I
10:23
Speaker 1: have been on both ends listen to this. I don't
10:26
Speaker 1: understand the point of this leak. And this is when
10:28
Speaker 1: it's sad that it's guys like Pete Williams here's from
10:31
Speaker 1: the last. I think men that understand how the Court's
10:36
Speaker 1: supposed to work, this separation of powers, that understands how
10:41
Speaker 1: bad of a deal. This is the precedent that this
10:45
Speaker 1: is moving forward. There are a lot of things that
10:47
Speaker 1: you can say right now about Roe v. Wade, but
10:51
Speaker 1: this isn't really about Roe v. Wade at this point.
10:53
Speaker 1: This is about somebody that decided they were bigger than
10:58
Speaker 1: the United States Constitution. On the last, this is a
11:01
Speaker 1: liberal who decided that they wanted to put Supreme Court
11:04
Speaker 1: justice lives at risk by leaking this, trying to put
11:07
Speaker 1: pressure to change a vote before it comes out. I
11:11
Speaker 1: don't think that's going to happen. But this, this is
11:14
Speaker 1: how they don't play within the rules. Again, if you
11:17
Speaker 1: want to understand the sickness of liberalism in America today,
11:22
Speaker 1: the derangement, the mental disorder of liberalism when they don't
11:28
Speaker 1: get their ways, it is exactly what you're witnessing right
11:30
Speaker 1: now at the Supreme Court with this ruling. It's also
11:34
Speaker 1: and and by the way, these are the top brilliant minds.
11:36
Speaker 1: Right when you get somebody that quirts the Supreme Court,
11:39
Speaker 1: we're talking about brilliant people, and it's infected them at
11:43
Speaker 1: the highest levels of the Democratic Party. The most brilliant
11:46
Speaker 1: people in the Democratic Party came up with the Russian
11:49
Speaker 1: collusion hoax. The most brilliant people in society in the
11:56
Speaker 1: Democratic Party came up with the Russian information campaign, Russian
12:01
Speaker 1: collusion and everything that comes along with it. Never forget
12:06
Speaker 1: that they're the ones that came up. The most brilliant
12:09
Speaker 1: minds in the Democratic Party are also the ones that
12:11
Speaker 1: came up with a you know, he had junior high
12:15
Speaker 1: rape parties he planned right when they came after Republican
12:19
Speaker 1: nominees under Trump, they will stop at nothing to destroy
12:22
Speaker 1: your life. And they don't care if you die in
12:23
Speaker 1: the process. They don't care if you are called a
12:26
Speaker 1: rapist in the process. They don't care that Spring Court
12:29
Speaker 1: Justice right now probably have more security they've ever had
12:31
Speaker 1: their entire lives because of this, because that's how vile
12:35
Speaker 1: and disgusting they are. They refuse to accept defeat when
12:39
Speaker 1: they lose. They are like kamikaze pilots. We don't get
12:44
Speaker 1: our way. We kill you and me. We kill everything,
12:46
Speaker 1: we destroy everything, We ruin everything. Right, That's really what
12:52
Speaker 1: this is. This is a seek and destroy goes scorts earth,
12:56
Speaker 1: but not just here and there. It's on everything now.
13:00
Speaker 1: And that's exactly why Pete Williams like, I really don't
13:03
Speaker 1: I'm going to back it up at just a moment here.
13:05
Speaker 1: That's why he says, I really don't understand this league.
13:08
Speaker 1: I don't understand what they thought was going to happen.
13:10
Speaker 1: Because he also understands how the Supreme Court works. But
13:13
Speaker 1: one thing about this Willie that really puzzles me is
13:15
Speaker 1: I don't understand the point of this leak. I have
13:19
Speaker 1: been on both ends of the leaking exchange in Washington.
13:22
Speaker 1: I'm a former government spokesman. I admit I used to
13:25
Speaker 1: leak stuff in the past. I'm a reporter. I get
13:28
Speaker 1: leaks now, and you know people leak to affect policy.
13:32
Speaker 1: But for the life of me, cannot understand the point
13:35
Speaker 1: of this leak. I think all nine justices came in
13:39
Speaker 1: to hear this argument knowing how they were going to vote.
13:42
Speaker 1: They voted that way right afterwards. I don't think the
13:45
Speaker 1: argument affected It just made it clear to all of
13:48
Speaker 1: us that they were going to vote to overturn Row.
13:51
Speaker 1: But now, what's the point of the league? I mean,
13:53
Speaker 1: is it possible that one of these five members is
13:56
Speaker 1: teetering and the leaker decided they needed to do this
14:00
Speaker 1: to cement that person in place? Or is this somebody
14:02
Speaker 1: that opposed the decision that was just so furious they
14:05
Speaker 1: wanted it out there. But you know, what, what good
14:08
Speaker 1: would the leak do in terms of affecting anything. I
14:11
Speaker 1: just don't get it. Yeah, and Pete here I've been
14:16
Speaker 1: I mean, he gets it. Why would you do this?
14:19
Speaker 1: What is the point of this? Well, the point is
14:22
Speaker 1: maybe there's somebody that could possibly change their opinion, or
14:27
Speaker 1: maybe there's a Supreme Court justice and some radical out
14:30
Speaker 1: there will take them out. The person that leaked this
14:33
Speaker 1: knew what the reaction was going to be from the left.
14:35
Speaker 1: They know that the left is insane, they know that
14:37
Speaker 1: they're radical. This isn't this isn't just about trying to
14:44
Speaker 1: attempt to influence the outcome of the Supreme Court, which
14:47
Speaker 1: is a massive separation of powers issue. This is about
14:51
Speaker 1: threatening their lives. That's what this is represented. Michael Walt's
14:56
Speaker 1: Republican Ford to have this to say about the Supreme
14:58
Speaker 1: Court talking about this is a Cavanaugh life approached the
15:01
Speaker 1: Supreme Court on this one. This is scorched earth ruin
15:04
Speaker 1: their lives or try to threaten their lives. Well, I
15:08
Speaker 1: think that's unclear at this point because it's never happened
15:11
Speaker 1: before to my knowledge. This is this is just so
15:14
Speaker 1: outrageous that this draft opinion was leaked. It's clearly an
15:18
Speaker 1: attempt to influence the outcome. But guys, be prepared for
15:23
Speaker 1: the scorched earth tactics of the left on this issue.
15:26
Speaker 1: They truly believe the ends justify the means, no matter
15:30
Speaker 1: what laws or what norms they have to break and
15:34
Speaker 1: be prepared for a Cavanaugh like approach to the Supreme
15:39
Speaker 1: Court on this one, and they are going to burn
15:42
Speaker 1: it down as you're hearing the activists say in order
15:45
Speaker 1: to try to stop this. And what's such a shame
15:48
Speaker 1: is that many pro life activists, many people who believe
15:53
Speaker 1: in the sanctity of life, abided by the law for
15:57
Speaker 1: nearly fifty years, even though they believe that child who's
16:01
Speaker 1: life was being unjustly taken. But I would not expect
16:04
Speaker 1: that same courtesy from the other side for our nation's
16:08
Speaker 1: system and for its rule of law. He's right, this
16:14
Speaker 1: is about the rule of law. He understands it, and
16:19
Speaker 1: so do the left when they leak this, and so
16:22
Speaker 1: did Politico when they broke the story. And I'm sure
16:25
Speaker 1: Politico said in behind closed doors, screw it, we're going
16:29
Speaker 1: to run this. Who cares what happens these justices? Right?
16:32
Speaker 1: Who cares what happens with the radicals trying to change us?
16:36
Speaker 1: And if you don't think there's psychos out there they're
16:38
Speaker 1: thinking about, well, maybe we just need to get rid
16:39
Speaker 1: of one of these Spreme Court justices in the five
16:42
Speaker 1: before this ruling comes out. And then what happens, Right,
16:44
Speaker 1: they're vote official if they die. There's crazies out there
16:47
Speaker 1: that think that way. And I'm sure Politico justified this
16:52
Speaker 1: by saying, well, if we don't run it, they're just
16:54
Speaker 1: going to go down the street to this paper, to
16:56
Speaker 1: this online and it's gonna get out anyway. So we
16:59
Speaker 1: might as well make some money off of it, make
17:01
Speaker 1: a name for ourselves with it, and we're going to
17:03
Speaker 1: be the ones that run it. Who cares, Let's go
17:06
Speaker 1: for it. Screw everybody whose live is negatively affected by this.
17:10
Speaker 1: We don't care how how dangerous this leak is. Are
17:19
Speaker 1: coming out and saying that. Now the commentators and the
17:23
Speaker 1: hosts are not. But those that understand what the Supreme
17:27
Speaker 1: Court is in the institution, they get it. Jeffrey Tubin,
17:34
Speaker 1: he's the senior legal analyst at CNN, the same guy
17:38
Speaker 1: who got fired from a job for pleasuring himself on
17:40
Speaker 1: a zoom call with other employees, who got suspended from CNN.
17:44
Speaker 1: But they rehabbed him at seeing him because he was
17:46
Speaker 1: a good liberal and we'll bring him back no matter what.
17:50
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Tuban, that same guy this morning on their morning
17:55
Speaker 1: show called New Day, said this the fact of this
17:58
Speaker 1: league here, We've never seen anything like this. I mean,
18:01
Speaker 1: you know, I've covered the Court for pushing thirty years now.
18:03
Speaker 1: This is so outside the history of the Supreme Court.
18:07
Speaker 1: There have been very occasional leaks of votes in cases
18:12
Speaker 1: you know the Court is going to vote a certain
18:14
Speaker 1: certain way, but a draft opinion has never been released,
18:19
Speaker 1: and a draft opinion in a case of monumental significance.
18:24
Speaker 1: This is going to damage the institution of the Supreme Court.
18:28
Speaker 1: Regardless of what you think about abortion. This was already
18:32
Speaker 1: an institution that was much less popular than it used
18:35
Speaker 1: to be. But the manner in which this is coming
18:38
Speaker 1: to public view is an real indictment of how this
18:43
Speaker 1: court operates. Jeffrey Jennifer, thank you both for helping us
18:47
Speaker 1: understand this. Now what does this bring me to? And
18:50
Speaker 1: I'm trying to connect doubts as fast as i can.
18:53
Speaker 1: This is now going to be justification for Joe Biden
18:56
Speaker 1: packing the Supreme Court. You can't let the Supreme Court
19:00
Speaker 1: stay at nine. You need to pack that court so
19:02
Speaker 1: we can get our way. There are two there are
19:05
Speaker 1: three takeaways. And again I'm still seeing and looking at
19:10
Speaker 1: this fallout. This is in my initial reaction. But my
19:13
Speaker 1: initial reactions number one, this is a kill list against
19:15
Speaker 1: the five people that we're going to vote in favor
19:19
Speaker 1: of this opinion, right, that are on the side that Rov.
19:21
Speaker 1: Wade is bad law, which it is. Right, that's number one.
19:26
Speaker 1: Number two, This is going to justify the Democrats ahead
19:29
Speaker 1: of the midterms, packing the court and that maybe this
19:31
Speaker 1: may be their campaign issue now, actually not, maybe this
19:34
Speaker 1: is their campaign issue. Vote for us and we'll pack
19:37
Speaker 1: the court. Vote for us, and we'll stop things like
19:39
Speaker 1: this from happening. Right, you must keep us in the
19:41
Speaker 1: majority because we must keep sending liberal Supreme Court justice
19:45
Speaker 1: to rule the overrule of these radical Republicans on the right.
19:51
Speaker 1: It's a kill list, it's to undermine, it's to justify
19:55
Speaker 1: court packing, all of these things. Liberalism is a mental
20:02
Speaker 1: disease when you do this to an institution like this
20:05
Speaker 1: is a mental disease when you think that the rules
20:07
Speaker 1: don't apply to you because you have grown up to
20:10
Speaker 1: believe that whatever it is that you believe is far
20:14
Speaker 1: superior to anyone else. Because that's what whoever leaked this,
20:18
Speaker 1: or the people that leak this, that's what they thought.
20:22
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of people, by the way, that
20:24
Speaker 1: would even see this, So you understand how Supreme Court works.
20:26
Speaker 1: I just sent a message to somebody that worked to
20:29
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, and I asked them. I was like,
20:31
Speaker 1: how many people are going to be able to even
20:32
Speaker 1: see this? And they said, look, this is maybe forty people,
20:38
Speaker 1: maybe forty five at the most. As it was said
20:41
Speaker 1: earlier today, it's an unprecedented betrayal by one of the
20:44
Speaker 1: forty five or so people with access to a draft
20:47
Speaker 1: Supreme Court opinion to prevent this decision from becoming law
20:50
Speaker 1: by scaring off moderate justices and attempting to whip the
20:54
Speaker 1: political left into a psychotic frenzy. There are five key points,
21:00
Speaker 1: by the way to realize about this opinion and how
21:02
Speaker 1: it's shockingly could have happened, and why the Supreme Court
21:06
Speaker 1: will suffer damage, damage that you'll never be able to
21:10
Speaker 1: undo if one of the majority justices switched asides, because
21:13
Speaker 1: then it's like, well, every time you don't like something,
21:15
Speaker 1: elak it. First, what the sixty seven page opinion says.
21:21
Speaker 1: We hold that Roe v. Wade must be overruled. The
21:23
Speaker 1: Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right
21:26
Speaker 1: as implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one
21:30
Speaker 1: on which the defenders of Row and Casey now chiefly
21:34
Speaker 1: rely the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That
21:38
Speaker 1: provision has been held to guarantee some rights that are
21:41
Speaker 1: not mentioned in the Constitution, but in such right must
21:44
Speaker 1: be deeply rooted in this nation's history and tradition, and
21:47
Speaker 1: implicit in the concept of ordered liberty. The opinion reads,
21:52
Speaker 1: the right to abortion does not fall into this category
21:55
Speaker 1: until the later part of the twentieth century, such as
21:58
Speaker 1: such a right was entire highly unknown to American law. Indeed,
22:02
Speaker 1: when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted, three quarters of the
22:05
Speaker 1: states made abortion a crime at all stages of pregnancy.
22:10
Speaker 1: The abortion right is also critically different from any other
22:13
Speaker 1: right that the Court is held to fall within the
22:15
Speaker 1: Fourteenth Amendments Protection of liberty road defenders characterize the abortion
22:20
Speaker 1: right is similar to the right recognizing past decisions involving
22:23
Speaker 1: matters such as intimate sexual relations, contraception, and marriage, but
22:29
Speaker 1: abortion is fundamentally different, as both row in case he acknowledged,
22:33
Speaker 1: because it destroys what those decisions called feet of life
22:38
Speaker 1: and what the law now before us describes as an
22:41
Speaker 1: unborn human being. The opinion discusses at length whether Constitution
22:48
Speaker 1: is originally, as originally understood, include a right to abortion,
22:53
Speaker 1: concluding it does not. It then goes on for many
22:56
Speaker 1: pages of the features of the legal policy of when
23:01
Speaker 1: to adhere to Court precedent and explains why it does
23:05
Speaker 1: not require upholding rose right to abortion. Then, finally, on
23:09
Speaker 1: page sixty two, it addresses the point that whoever betrayed
23:14
Speaker 1: the Court was likely trying to make with this unprecedented
23:18
Speaker 1: violation of trust. Quote. The American people's belief in the
23:22
Speaker 1: rule of law would be shaken if they lost respect
23:25
Speaker 1: for this Court as an institution that decides important cases
23:28
Speaker 1: based on principal, not social and political pressures. Quote. But
23:36
Speaker 1: we cannot exceed the scope of our authority under the Constitution,
23:39
Speaker 1: and we cannot allow our decisions to be affected by
23:41
Speaker 1: the extraneous influences, such as concern about the public's reaction
23:46
Speaker 1: to our work. Alito responds to the Court, that is both.
23:51
Speaker 1: That is true both when we initially decided excuse me,
23:55
Speaker 1: when we initially decide a constitutional issue, and when we
23:58
Speaker 1: consider whether to over rule a prior decision. Secondly, why
24:03
Speaker 1: the opinion is probably genuine and an air of word
24:07
Speaker 1: processors fraudsters can make documents that physically look like the
24:10
Speaker 1: real thing, but this is different. Experts are now saying, First,
24:14
Speaker 1: Supreme Court opinions are dense and complex. They're extremely carefully
24:19
Speaker 1: written and are full of citations and quotations. Experience appellet
24:24
Speaker 1: attorneys know what to look for and all this carries
24:28
Speaker 1: all the hallmarks of that. That's why it clearly is
24:31
Speaker 1: real and by the way, Supreme Court probably would have
24:33
Speaker 1: come out and said if it wasn't. Also, each justice
24:36
Speaker 1: has his or her own voice. This reads like an
24:39
Speaker 1: opinion by sam Alito, experts are now saying, so there's
24:42
Speaker 1: every reason to believe he authored the first draft. And
24:45
Speaker 1: given that the DABS case was argued on December first,
24:48
Speaker 1: the time stamp of February ten on this draft would
24:51
Speaker 1: fit a normal opinion writing time frame for something of
24:54
Speaker 1: this scope. Third, how this could have happened and why
25:00
Speaker 1: the only people who definitively have access to this are
25:04
Speaker 1: the nine justices and their thirty six law clerks. Four
25:09
Speaker 1: law clerks are assigned to each justice, for a total
25:11
Speaker 1: of only forty five people. It is almost certain that
25:15
Speaker 1: it had to have been one of the law clerks.
25:17
Speaker 1: Are multiple clerks working on the same team, who would
25:21
Speaker 1: take the ultimate credential a young lawyer can achieve and
25:25
Speaker 1: instead put himself for herself on track to never be
25:28
Speaker 1: licensed to practice law in the nation. Fourth, why this
25:32
Speaker 1: might not actually become the actual decision of the Supreme
25:34
Speaker 1: Court takes five votes on the nine member court to
25:37
Speaker 1: make it a majority opinion. When cases are argued that
25:40
Speaker 1: justices have a weekly closed door conference on Friday at
25:44
Speaker 1: which they discuss the case, take a preliminary vote, and
25:47
Speaker 1: one justice when the majority, is assigned the task of
25:49
Speaker 1: writing the opinion. After the opinion has written into circulate
25:53
Speaker 1: to the other justices, that is when the negotiating begins,
25:56
Speaker 1: where justice say that they could join if certain changes
25:59
Speaker 1: are made, and others decide to dissent and organize that
26:04
Speaker 1: writing effort. Still, other justices join the majority judgment, but
26:10
Speaker 1: right concurring opinions to emphasize some point important to them.
26:16
Speaker 1: At any time during this process, justices can change their vote,
26:22
Speaker 1: and it happens often. The cases do not grab headlines,
26:26
Speaker 1: but earth shattering decisions like the one upholding Obamacare in
26:30
Speaker 1: twenty twelve bears the hallmark of such a case. This
26:35
Speaker 1: then appears to be an effort to intimidate a moderate
26:39
Speaker 1: conservative justice to switch sides, in which the case this
26:44
Speaker 1: opinion would become a dissenting opinion and a liberal justice
26:47
Speaker 1: opinion would speak for the majority. Then there's a threat
26:51
Speaker 1: here which I mentioned a moment ago of court packing.
26:54
Speaker 1: In the nineteen thirty seven Jones and Laughlin steelcase, two
26:59
Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice switch from years of their own presence
27:03
Speaker 1: to reinterpret the commerce caused the Constitution fundamentally transforming the
27:09
Speaker 1: power of the federal government over the nation. They did
27:12
Speaker 1: this in an unnecessary attempt to stop FDR's plan to
27:15
Speaker 1: pack the Court with six new justices for a total
27:18
Speaker 1: of fifteen. It was unnecessary because the plan was already collapsing,
27:24
Speaker 1: but the public intimidation convinced a couple of members of
27:27
Speaker 1: the Court to virtually transform the nation. Democrats have explored
27:32
Speaker 1: court packing over the past two years for the first
27:34
Speaker 1: time in eight decades. Doubtless, many on the left will
27:37
Speaker 1: claim that now they have to do it, so this
27:41
Speaker 1: will be worth it to justify their means in the
27:44
Speaker 1: elections coming up. Finally, the Supreme Court's credibilities at stake
27:48
Speaker 1: to see this through. If anyone switches their vote because
27:51
Speaker 1: of this, the Court will take more than a generation
27:54
Speaker 1: regain the trust the American people. To the contrary, the
27:58
Speaker 1: Justice should double down. This is likely a five four
28:01
Speaker 1: decision because this betrayal looks like an intimidation tactic. Yet
28:05
Speaker 1: one justice to change his or her mind. Since decision
28:08
Speaker 1: is in many ways out, those five should stop the
28:11
Speaker 1: pressure by all sign the latest version of it and
28:14
Speaker 1: publishing it immediately as a binding decision of the Court.
28:17
Speaker 1: Those would dissents or concurrences can publish them later if
28:20
Speaker 1: they are so inclined. But this shameful debate, shameful debacle
28:27
Speaker 1: of a debate, and the immediate pressure campaign it is creating,
28:31
Speaker 1: should in now with the Court handing down the decision
28:34
Speaker 1: and Dabbs immediately. As the page sixty five of the
28:38
Speaker 1: League opinion explains, quote, we do not pretend to know
28:41
Speaker 1: how our political system or society will respond to today's
28:44
Speaker 1: decision overruling Robe and Casey, And even if we could
28:49
Speaker 1: foresee what will happen, we would have no authority to
28:53
Speaker 1: let the knowledge influence our decisions. We can only do
28:57
Speaker 1: our job, which is to interpret the law, applying longstanding principles,
29:02
Speaker 1: and decide this case accordingly. We therefore hold the Constitution
29:07
Speaker 1: does not confer a right to abortion. Rowan Casey must
29:11
Speaker 1: be overruled and the authority to regulate abortion must be
29:13
Speaker 1: returned to the people, and they're elected representatives. In other words,
29:17
Speaker 1: states rights issue doesn't mean, by the way, that abortion
29:20
Speaker 1: is illegal in America. I want to make that clear.
29:22
Speaker 1: It means that states are going to get to decide
29:24
Speaker 1: what they want to do in each state, and liberal
29:26
Speaker 1: states will still have abortion. Conservative states will probably get
29:29
Speaker 1: rid of it at the end of the day. What
29:33
Speaker 1: the Democrats did here to the court, what this person did,
29:36
Speaker 1: which I hope they find them, arrest them and dispar
29:38
Speaker 1: them for life, was to influence the court, pack the court.
29:42
Speaker 1: And by the way, whoever leaked this will become a
29:44
Speaker 1: hero of the left. They will get six figure book deals,
29:47
Speaker 1: speaking engagements, they will probably head the National Organization of Women.
29:52
Speaker 1: They're going to be just fine. And they made that
29:54
Speaker 1: calculated decision to do this. They're gonna get paid one
29:57
Speaker 1: way or another. They're gonna go They're gonna be a
29:59
Speaker 1: women's right, it's advocate for life, and they will become
30:02
Speaker 1: a hero of the left. And this was a kill
30:04
Speaker 1: list to go after these five people. Never forget that,
30:10
