restrict abortion. women heard of 15-week abortions in mississippi in december and many court analysts i talked to said they wouldn t take this case if they didn t want to trim back roe v. wade at the very least. after hearing their oral arguments back in december court analysts on both sides thought it is probably most likely the supreme court would okay something like a 15-week ban, so moving up when the court said a person has a constitutional right to an abortion from about 24 weeks to 15 weeks. most people didn t think the court would go as far as overturning roe v. wade. and certainly not as far as the ideological draft opinion that politico got from samuel alito. so if that is what the court decide, the court will come up with the most extreme version essentially, of what analysts thought it would do. from there, that motivates republicans in congress to do two things, one, rally their base, say we re almost there, because it s holy grail that we ve been trying to get for

the daughter of elizabeth and john edwards also never took the stand in this case. and there was a lot of conversation over that. how much would his daughter be able to provide even though she did not work with her father. certainly, rielle hunter. that came as a big surprise to so many that she did not make it to that stand. what is your take there? i don t think it was a surprise so much as disappointment. everybody want to see her on the stand. everybody wanted to hear her on the stand. she didn t add much to the charges one way or the other and she would be a wild card. people were dying to see her take the stand and testify. but as far as impact on the case, i don t think her testimony was necessary. it may not have been necessary but would it have been the proper downer to andrew young, especially, when you hear court analysts discuss how he all but fizzled out when he was on the stand? if he fizzled, i think rielle would have exploded, quite
