justice said, concurred, that the mississippi ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy could stand. so that s the difference there. and it s interesting you highlighted that line, it s very rare, michael that the chief writes alone. and that he can t develop some compromise or be smack the middle of the conservative supermajority. you know, he s someone who usually is in synch with his brethren and new justice amy coney barrett to his right. but on this, no, he tried to work a compromise and ended up alone. had no joiners. so what is the needle that he was trying to thread? he wanted to maintain roe but to get rid of the trimesters? how could that have been practically possible? okay. what he wanted the trimester setup essentially faded with the 1992 casey decision. what they said is just pure viability, which you referred to, michael, in your
public opinion polling on abortion which is to say a lot of people don t like abortion. if you live in new york city you might not know any of them but if you live in mississippi you know quite a few. the point is, people will get to live with the laws they want. how is that bad? the state of missouri became the first state to ban abortion, eric schmidt attorney general, we are happy to have him join us. attorney general, thank you so much for coming on. what is the state of abortion in missouri now? missouri became the first date after this be a decision to effectively end abortion for this has been worked on for decades, people prayed up on this, it s a long time coming. thankfully president trump appointed three supreme court justices knew that the road to decision, the date was issued was on a collision course with the constitution. and we see that here today now. this decision will be decided as it should ve 49 years ago to the states. missouri interestingly in 1825 was the firs
he actually chose three that stood up for the constitution, the rule of law and life and he will be he will go down in history as the greatest president if he s got so manys great legacies. laura . butur this legacy of life. reversing roe v. wade has come down in history books for all time . you know who i think ofth tonight as well, dr. carson, as i thinkin justice scalia and all that he did in the course of his career for originalism textually his faith to the actual language offal the constant ition and constitutional principles. and you have to think after the casey decision and the and losing the webster decision like he is i mean, i like to thinkan he s smiling and looking down on the dobbs case something in them tonight is a true patriot and so are some of the others who are being brave. have to be incredibly
of course justice thomas did say in his concurring opinion that the jurist prudence that under underlies this decision is also deeply flawed. you can believe both things. the people should have a right to contraception, the people should have the right to abortion, and you can believe that eradicating those rights on a flawed 14th amendment analysis is garbage prudence. that is where it needs to go, needs to go back to the states and as your whole show has been pointing out it is much easier for democrats to create fear and hype and riot. it s also cheaper to make laws by pressuring a handful of justices than by passing laws in the state that the majority supports. this is a very sound decision and i m not losing any sleep over losing any fundamental rights here at the basis of this decision. tucker: by the way, democrats said they were going to codify roe of the congress, they were going to pass a federal law basically restating roe and they couldn t even agree on what a pregnant pe
