The Left's Hatred for Ruth Bader Ginsburg Intensifies
2022-06-25
[Townhall] The Supreme Court handed down its opinion in the Dobbs case, and Roe v. Wade is no more. No, abortion is not banned. The original and heinous 1973 decision was overturned, and the issue is now sent back to the states. The legislative process is where this issue should be decided as abortion is not mentioned in the Constitution. Pass a law. If you want a right to an abortion, pass a law. The problem is Democrats really must bring their A-game convincing voters that baby-killing is a good thing. With this bunch, they’ll overreach. They’ll get too emotional. And they’ll come off as totally insane.

There is one woman we do need to thank. She has passed away, but her death also brought the end of Roe. The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s refusal to retire under the Obama presidency proved to be a critical moment, though we didn’t know it at the time. It’s the reason why the Left has turned against her.

They’re not going to hardcore torch her corpse over this, but don’t be shocked if a few pieces about how this woman’s refusal to retire is at fault for this Supreme Court decision. Her death was true liberal whiplash. There was a meltdown, but then a realization that RBG screwed the Left on the abortion issue given the vacancy was going to be filled by Donald J. Trump with Amy Coney Barrett.

#13  They can try to pass a law, but SCOTUS has already ruled it will be unconstitutional, either way. The right just ain’t in the Constitution. It is reserved to the states to legislate.

#12  Something *everyone* is overlooking here is that RBG herself thought the Rov v. Wade decision was overbroad and should have been limited to striking down that particular Texas Law.

I suspect that if the old gal were still around, she would have voted with the majority here.

#11  RBG expected Hillary to replace her. She gambled on Hillary winning. In the end she bet it all and lost.

#9  Ask any old rich bitch/geezer in Congress (or gov't) why they just keep hanging on. It's can't be the money for they already have a lot of it. Pelosi, Feinstein-Blum, Waters, Sanders, and on and on and on (surely some GOPers in there, too).

Even Tony Science. He's a "civil servant" and a good 81 years old. He just won't leave/retire. Why? It ain't the money.

#8  The Left never gives up power till the end.

Perhaps the most powerful of all narcotics.

#7  A fickle bunch, those Leftists...just the other day RBG was their heroine.

Of course, their anger is misguided. Dems and Congress had 49 years to legislate something but didn't.

#4  The Left never gives up power till the end. It's the nature of the creature. RBG was no different.

#3  She's on the McStain / Avennati arc. A new savior come to rescue us all now a reviled wrecker of dreams.

#2  If she is to be remembered for something, let it be this.

#1  For someone with a position that literally requires good judgement; RBG demonstrated the worst long-term judgement possible. Irony can be joyful.
