the narrative right now that doesn t look good forsn t the democrats. i mentioned earlier the late senator ted kennedy m demagoging robert bork during his nomination. you know, robert bork s america is going to be in america or back alley abortions take placei . we can go back . it wasn t that long ago when the coat hanger analogies were used, left and right. pam bondi, in spite of the fact that we all know that if this decision comes down this way that the law would b then be made by the states, by the people and they are elected representatives if in fact that language is accuraterere, which by the way, would be constitutional, which is why conservative i have argud for years that this is bad law and it s a right not that giveng that it was not enumerated in the constitutiond. so but it would be demagogued. i believe leo s rightbeli on tht point. ourse it of course it would. but the law, the law and if this opinion is accurate to
with whether or not whether ore not roe v. wade and this is what conservatives often believed constitutionalists have believed originaliststu hae believed is that it enumerated a right that did not exist within the constitution. what s interesting aboutn. this is the draft opinion, unflinching repudiation of the seventy three decision guaranteeing a federaler constitutional protection on abortionalon rights as they report in politico, planned parenthood versus caseyca that largely maintainn that right. s report i if this report is true , justice alito writes roe washe egregiously wrong from the start and we hold that roehe and casey must be overruled. he writes in the documentt labeled quote opinion of the court it is time to heed the constitution, return the issue of abortion to the people s the elected representatives. that s where the issue of th comes intoosophy
ra it s clearly a draft. it s not finalized. but hopefully it is true . you know, there is no constitutional right to s abortion. this should go back to the statesac where i should have been. and so i think this is w a liberal who is againstho this and they are throwing away their entire career to leak a this opinion and they will be able to findbl out who it is. i ve been trying quickly to s look through the federal statute and seeta if i can find any crime that would be attached to it and i can t so far there may be , but at that level of practicing law,a as a supreme court law clerk, it s unbelievable that someone is throwing their career out t the windowow ashanti s that they will be disbarred and i believe justice roberts and the rest of the justices will find out who it is. it s so easy to track things now, especially that opinion was not out there publiclyll,
so put me down as very skeptic shot and only because i ve been doing this a longg time. i have never seen anything like. this ever leak froms. the u.s. supreme court. not a single time. the way it reads at points its reads like itli might be partly an opinion. at other points i read it and i m like this doesn t read like a supremem courtin decision to me.g and you know, having covered the court as extensively as youc have, i m curious if you feel the same way. o i really if i had to say what the odds are, i would say i m leaning heavily against. t i do think we have to be , as you ve told your viewers, very cautious about this .s again, i have not been waved off of this as being a legitimate draft att some point. who knows how much if itma is legit, it may have changed in weeks since it was written. there are flourishes and thereio are expressions. and the wayns that this is
written that sounds like justice alito to me and some of his other writings. so think we hav i think we have tt with a grain of salt and again, until it comes out officiallys from the court, this means nothing votes could change. i and even if this is a legitimate draft, both couldll have changed and this could be flipped. way and we just don t know. but there are things in the writing that sound alitoesque to me not that somebody couldn t, you know, draft that of their own award and would have to believet that this was legit. but let me throw this to kelly. why would politico run the risk of basically let me run through the headline that they haveve the the supreme court has voted to overturn abortion rights draft opinion shows they re saying definitivelyy i have again, i ve never seenmy that in my life and i m skeptical. well, sometimes the headline overstates what is actually and the rest of the article. cas i think this may be the casee. o shannon s point as shannon
