then brett kavanaugh. and while they promised to respect the esteem of roe v. wade, something way too many politicians were assured by and we ll have more on that later, everyone should have seen them and amy barrett comey coming. she referred to abortion as always immoral and said in 2013 life begins at conception. here we are with the rights of women in texas snatched away overnight and the looming threat of roe v. wade being overturned next year by the very same justices. what is even scarier than that is the blueprint the court gave to any other state that wants to do the exact same thing. the majority opinion written by five justices says that the abortion providers didn t have the correct argument. quote, their application presents complex and novel proceeding questions on which they have not carried their burden. so if you write a law that
then there s this. in their second dead-of-night ruling in just over a week after striking down protections for americans facing eviction last week, the conservative majority on the supreme court declined to overturn the six-week abortion ban in texas. the abortion law has no exceptions for incest or rape, and deputizes private citizens as bounty hunters searching for anyone who performed or helped a woman get an abortion after that six-week period before most women even know that they re pregnant. while the decision is shocking, it shouldn t be surprising to anyone. we knew what america was signing up for when donald trump was elected president. through the 2016 republican primary, some republicans were worried a womanizing reality star with three babies mamas and a taste for adult film stars might not be conservative enough, so trump made a deal. he d appoint judges, including to the supreme court if any openings were to happen, from a
speaker pelosi and pass the law to codify roe v. wade. and we can make sure we support president biden if he decides to federalize in texas or allow places like the 15 military bases to be places where we could perform reproductive health care services. so so there are choices before us. but again, that s because we re looking at the alternative. and it s pretty scary. you know what frightens me, congresswoman, is california, look, people who think well, california is a blue state, yeah but california had governors, reagan and nixon and arnold schwarzenegger won a recall. it s not likest impossible. the impossible is quite possible. and so i wonder if democrats are taking it too lightly because they think, well, larry elders seems crazy. no way anybody would elect him but he only needs like 12% of the vote. well, we just have to remember the last election. what did we think about trump? we didn t think that was going to be possible either. right. but joy, let me point out
constitution. biden could do that law tonight and you could have the doctors on their way to texas tomorrow. that s what he would do if he needed to go get some people off roofs from a flooding situation. this is a great idea. that s why i was really excited to get you on today. by the way, that is on the nation website so you guys can read it if you want the details, you want to reread what elie is sayic. you cover the capitol hill world here, errin. what are chances in talking to white house officials they would do something like that, they would try something like this since they said they re doing a whole-of-government approach? well, it is unclear what a whole-of-government approach is going to mean, right. you already have president biden saying that the white house counsel on gender is the point point of contact to look into what the administration s response can be, that you saw the department of justice saying that they would be examining their options. the department of
florida and mississippi, and i hope people pause and just consider the life and death consequences of that decision. we have among the lowest positivity rates in america. they have the highest positivity rates in america. we have one of the lowest case rates in america. they have among the highest case rates in america. joining me is congresswoman karen bass of california and christine pelosi from california. i have to tell you right now, congresswoman bass, the thing keeping me up a lot is keeping me up lately, but the thing that is really leaving me up is the idea of a super texas in california. larry elder being governor of california means in theory if dianne feinstein were to retire he could replace her, probably with stephen miller in the united states senate. all that could be wrong, and just unleashing covid to run rampant through the population of 39.5 million people. how likely is this to happen in your view? well, that was a very
