The Democrats Make a Last Ditch Effort to Stave Off Midterm Defeat By Leaking a SCOTUS Draft Opinion

The words, “Unprecedented”, and “Bombshell”, are often overused, especially in political discourse. In this particular case, the words are used with their true meaning intact.

As I reported over at RedState, POLITICO just dropped a click-bait headline that doesn’t represent a grain of truth (no surprise).

Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows

Rag’s gonna Rag. The SCOTUS Justices have not even voted yet, and this is only a draft opinion, so things could change, even up to the day they announce the decision. POLITICO conveniently buries this in the fifth paragraph, knowing that most people will simply read the headline and go apoplectic.

The disclosure of Alito’s draft majority opinion – a rare breach of Supreme Court secrecy and tradition around its deliberations – comes as all sides in the abortion debate are girding for the ruling. Speculation about the looming decision has been intense since the December oral arguments indicated a majority was inclined to support the Mississippi law.

Under longstanding court procedures, justices hold preliminary votes on cases shortly after argument and assign a member of the majority to write a draft of the court’s opinion. The draft is often amended in consultation with other justices, and in some cases the justices change their votes altogether, creating the possibility that the current alignment on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization could change.

Despite POLITICO’s capricious and cavalier attitude in blowing up this institution for political gain, people in the know are truly gobsmacked, and the Supreme Court is not pleased. The FBI may become involved. Emphasis on “may”.

This is an unprecedented leak from #SCOTUS. It raises questions about how the institution will ever recover, and how Chief Justice Roberts will respond. Sources tonight tell @JanCBS he is likely to order a full-blown investigation, involving the FBI, to determine the source.

Chaos is what they want, and unlike the J6 defendants, no one is going to be hauling these “protestors” off to the Gulag.

With polls and political analysts signaling sure defeat in November, this is the Democrats’ Hail Mary play. “Vote for us or your reproductive rights will be taken away!”

Weird that for the first time in all of history... a Supreme Court opinion has leaked. It's almost like this is a political strategy to get the liberal base motivated when they're losing everything.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

People are struggling and starving due to Bidenflation, they want to use your children for medical and social experiments, and how can Congress protect a woman’s right to choose when they are incapable of defining what a woman is?

These turd bombs on Twitter show how much these geniuses are melting down.

After having screeching fits about J6 and “insurrection”, this Vox-child now thinks it’s just fine for someone inside SCOTUS to “burn this place down”:

Seriously, shout out to whoever the hero was within the Supreme Court who said “fuck it! Let’s burn this place down.”

This white woman is mourning the fact that this could be the end of Eugenics and Black Genocide. Diversity and equity only applies when you’re murdering babies, I guess.

Overturning #RoeVWade is going to cause so much harm. This especially affects POC & those in poverty. The Supreme Court is fucking with people's lives here and their livelihoods. This is a dark day, friends, a dark day.

And I’m old enough to remember the 2010 Dr. Kermit Gosnell trial and conviction, as well as David Daleiden exposing Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby body parts on the open market.

But this one is predicting death and horror if Roe is overturned. No thought for the unborn babies who are eviscerated and killed every day through abortions. They claim that overturning Roe will not save a single baby. Can you say, “delusional”, boys and girls?

My mother was a registered nurse in the years before Roe, and tells stories of women & girls being eviscerated, sterilized, and killed by back alley abortions. By overturning Roe, #SCOTUS isn’t saving a single baby. It is killing countless women & girls. #RoeVWade

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. https://t.co/nl3JFLx9xg

I also suspect this is a campaign to draft Hillary Clinton for a 2024 presidential run.

Hillary Clinton warned you every damned day that the Supreme Court was at risk, so if you voted Trump or Trump proxy, explain that to your daughters and granddaughters. #RoeVWade https://t.co/zyPEqTh6Pu

If you are upset that #RoeVWade is about to be overturned by the Supreme Court but you didn’t vote in 2016 or you voted for Trump because you didn’t like the smart lady, YOU did this w/your apathy or your decision to choose an imp for President. YOU gave him THREE SCOTUS seats.

The honest truth? If SCOTUS does not give into these mafioso tactics and the Justices hold the line and vote to severely limit or overturn Roe v. Wade, the decision on abortion rights will return to the States. As someone who believes in federalism, this is how it should be.

Crazy-ass California wants to become a sanctuary state for abortion rights, so if you’re that committed to murdering your unborn child, why not just book a ticket West, get your abortion, and then drop into Disneyland after? You’ll be in perfect alignment with the Leftist agenda.

Don't worry Liberals, even if #RoeVWade is overturned by the Supreme Court, you'll still be able to kill your babies in Democrat-controlled states. It won't be a TOTAL ban on murdering them in the U.S.

It is time to go scorched earth on this murderous, evil, and corrupt agenda, because this is them going scorched earth on what truly matters to you.

Don’t let them.
