almost shock if you will, and that s one of the things i m asking people about in the crowd here, given the fact there was so much advance warning that the court was headed in this direction, abortion rights opponents have been protesting, if you will, roe v. wade for 50 years and then just a few weeks ago, we got that advance opinion that leaked opinion of justice alito really signaling the court was headed in this direction. so i asked people, look, why are you even surprised? and one woman told me as far as she was concerned, she never believed the united states supreme court was ever going to do this. jim, back to you. joe johns we know emotions are running high, we know you ll stay on top of this thank you very much. jeffrey great to have you with us, thanks so much. you warned this day was coming and it came. you were dead on about this
