About these anti-abortion rights groups that are pushing for federal law, for more draconian state laws. the fact is, it continues to happen. for people who thought the worst that could happen was the end of dobbs, that s not true. absolutely, yeah. you don t even need new federal laws. one of the leading antiabortion strategies now is to point to the 19th century law called the which was originally designed to ban 30 books, among other things. they are saying that the cost is still law and bans all abortion pills everywhere, including blue states. so, we re going to see a push for federal legislation. we re going to see a push for new supreme court decisions limiting access to abortion, and we re going to see pushes based on lost that no one has thought about for decades, but are still on the books. abortion rights really aren t safe in any part of the country, much less, obviously, in the states where they are already banned. you ve made an interesting link between another se ....
This is not worked out to be the success they were hoping it to be. that failure of dobbs, from an elections perspective, and people are pushing them to take harder stance. they are really in a tough position, because you have primary voters and donors and these voters, essentially saying, we voted for you to ban abortion. what this is about for us is fetal rights. so, show me the money. what are you doing? and then you have, at the same, time a lot of independents and swing voters who quite clearly don t like what the gop has to say about abortion. so, you see the house gop saying abortion is our priority, and essentially passing bills that don t do anything, which, is i, think a cry for help. it s a signal that gop doesn t know how to balance these two competing demands. i think we ll continue to see that in 2024, where the stakes are really high. republican fta could take abortion pills off the market. a republican justice department could enforce the comstock act. i think there s ....
A questions that oral argument suggested that she was really sort of wrestling with the idea, pointing out some of the clear logical inconsistencies in north carolina republicans arguments, and seen the dissatisfied with the responses that she was getting back for north carolina s lawyers. you have this ammunition case, you have to be careful with barrett. she has a history of doing this. of askeaton really smart, really probitive, really thoughtful questions at oral arguments, but then when the votes come in, siding with the most extreme, brain dead version of republican conservative logic possible. we saw that in dobbs, we ve seen that in other cases this term. but she seemed to be legitimately in play. if she and brett kavanaugh are both in play, that could be the bulwark that stops this particular brand of republican ridiculousness from infecting the rest of america. you know, ali, your ....
Was pretty well decided. it s more than an eagerness. it s a hunger. it s get it while you can. they have the votes. we saw that in dobbs. i remember the first line of the analysis i wrote for the new york times after dobbs condemned was they did it because they could. and you know, back a year ago, more than a year ago, when the court decided to take dobbs knowing full well that they finally had the votes that they d been collecting through years. this was an agenda item for years and in my book, i tracked the months that it took for them to really coalesce and decide to get into this case. harry s absolutely right. there are very few cases, there are a couple the court has to take, but basically, this is reaching out and inviting, ....
The public wants it to be? the court knew well when it decided dobbs in june. the court that overturned roe v. wade. 80% of the public told pollsters they did not want the court to do that. they did anyway so it s no surprise people are losing faith in the supreme court. and harry, it seemed as though this was a pent up conservative desire to take on cases that were pretty well decided. affirmative action was decided in the 70s. the epa? really? it s ability the epa came under richard nixon but seems post bork, there have been decades of frustration and what you seem to see in the dobbs decision by alito and thomas was let s go after these issues. that s right. they could be taking it ....
