their protection and their families to . somew channtly, i notice somewhahat of a change and i expressed it. here on fox.i i warned thawat veselirned tn it was coming. this isn t anything new .n en what we ve been experiencing for almost like two years inye the countrary where the crimes have become more brazen. it. is very clear that criminals aren t afraid of law enforcement as this continues in the country that we re going to have vigilante justice and we can t have that in a civilized society. avsomeone is going to fill that void and there will bel that vigilante justice. and we don t want thataders areg to happen. but the leaders aren t doing anything about it. the mayors are steppin m g up th to the plate. the dea is aren t stepping us ap to the plate. the judges aren t stepping up plate to the plate. so who is going to d o it?o and that s why that vigilante justice comes in that look, i didn t say that to brag or be right. i genuinely want it to be wrong about this
iton wasr called carhart and iu upheld the practice of partial birth abortion. that s abortion when a babyy out s quitise literally out of the , partially. and justice scaliaof said something that just stuck d with me. and it was iann the dissent and he said one day our abortion jurisprudence will be on the footing of korematsr u and dred scott. those are the two opinions. one upheld japanese internment camps. one upheld slavery in this country. horrible, horrendous moments in our past. our abortion jurisprudence will be there one day. we ll look back on upheldmoments n as ultrasound develops. we have a president who doesn t cherish life. in fact, he lies about hlies het catholic catechism says noo longer says that we protect life. i can tell you i ve gone lif to catholic school my whole life. it s not true. so we need to cherish life because the outgrowth of that are the consequences we see today. so we have the abortion issue. and i always sayf that we must life from the to the to
result that so many folks looked to as to where this was going to end, and you know, to me, don, one of the most revealing pieces of reporting is it s not a 6-3 vote, the reporting by politico is it s 5-4, which as you were discussing with joe at the top of the show, suggests chief justice roberts is no fan of the court us abortion jurisprudence, wasn t willing to go as far as this draft. that s a pretty damming indictment of his fellow conservatives. it s not typical for the chief to split from them in a highly divisive, visible case, and it s one of the many many ways in which this decision whenever it comes down is really going to break so many precedents. both literally and directly and indirectly. not just for the court s jurisprudence but how the court operates as an institution, and frankly how it s perceived by the public! i would like to get more of a readout of exactly they were asked a question that you were asked. i think especially when it comes
their abortion jurisprudence since then makes it seem that much more likely they re not concerned about public perception and are willing to scrap it entirely. the people going around saying abortion is murder, some of whom believe and it some of whom are cynical, is happy it s not going to be happening in just some states. their goal is to treat this like a crime. i think, look, we re not going to see, obviously, a federal abortion ban as long as joe biden is president. if and when there s a republican president, a republican trifecta, of course they re going to try to do this, and i wouldn t be surprised if they get rid of the filibuster in order to pass something like this through the senate. hmm. cornell? yeah, i mean, the key thing here for politically speaking, electorally speaking is that
after 15 weeks. melissa, what does that mean from a legal standpoint? so if the court does choose to overrule roe versus wade or i hesitate a minimalist approach, it would essentially discard almost 50 years worth of precedent and remove lie ability as a salient marker in the court s abortion jurisprudence and free the states to impose ever more restrictive abortion laws. if roe is overturned entirely, there are around 24 to 25 states in the union that already have trigger laws on the books that will make abortion a criminal act in those jurisdictions if roe is overturned. almost overnight if that happens we d see in the south and the midwest go to being abortion free zones and individuals in those states would have to travel to other jurisdictions where there are more hospitable abortion laws in order to seek
