Alan Dershowitz to Newsmax: SCOTUS on Verge of 'Cataclysmic Political Event
While Roe v. Wade has been Supreme Court precedent for 50 years, it is facing its biggest legal test right now, according to constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz on Newsmax, as Mississippi seeks to move the timetable on abortion restrictions.
"There are only three justices, I think today, who would uphold Roe v. Wade completely," Dershowitz told Saturday's "America Right Now."
Those are the three liberal justices on the court – Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan – putting at least a partial unwinding of Roe v. Wade on the table right now, Dershowitz told host Tom Basile.
Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch figure to be on the side of overruling Roe v. Wade, while Chief Justice John Roberts is in the middle and likely attempting to pull in the newest Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett to join him, according to Dershowitz.
"So, if he can get one of them to join him, we will not see Roe v. Wade overruled – at least not yet."
Talking points, (for the educated people here.)
1. It's obvious to the whole country (well, at least the educated citizens) that Roe was bad law. It was NOT based on science and it violated the Constitution. It was an overreach of the court, based on a similar version of "Substantive Due Process" that created the Dred Scott Decision.
2. Unlike the whining Feminists *who shriek at just the thought of not being able to butcher their babies, overturning Roe will not end ALL abortion in America. The issue will go to the states.
3. And there is not a SINGLE state that will outlaw abortion completely because most of the country AGREES with the exceptions of rape, incest and protecting the life of the mother. SOME blue states will opt for even POST BIRTH abortion. (Not altogether a bad thing, if you think about it. The WORST thing a liberal can do is reproduce. This might be a FINAL SOLUTION to rid America of these idiots once and for all.)
4. Of course, the people in Washington STILL want to take your state's choice away from you.
Without Barrett and Kavanaugh joining Roberts and the liberals, the Roe v. Wade precedent is going to be forever changed in case law, which would be "cataclysmic political event," Dershowitz said.
"But, if you can't get either of them to join him, then he will probably join the three dissenters in upholding Roe v. Wade, but they'll be five justices to overrule it, and that would cause a cataclysmic political event in America," he predicted. "Congress would try to pass a statute first making abortion of federal right. It would become a major issue in the 2022 midterms and then in the 2024 presidential."
I'd LOVE to see that happen. Imagine extremist left wing people trying to legislate a federal right to abortion bill and trying to run on it in 2022. It's as if the disastrous Biden economy isn't enough to tank the Democrat Party. This would be fun.
