The leak of Associate Justice Samuel Alito’s February 10 draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade and reshape America’s legal approach to abortion, shocks the nation. The secret deliberations of the Supreme Court now breached, the men of Right Angle consider the value of that secrecy. Special thanks to Alfonzo Rachel for sitting in for Bill Whittle again this week.

“CREATED equal, not born equal…” outstanding!!! 💯❤️🇺🇲👍
The fundamental problem with Roe v. Wade is that the decision itself was unconstitutional.
the SC wussed out in Texas v Pa. during the election it will be interesting to see how this finishes.
‘Public passions are stupid’. Yes, they are. Not because the public are stupid, but because public passions are formed by opinion pushers and factoid pushers, and they are formed in the absence of all available information.
Similarly, early voting lets people cast their votes before all possible campaign information becomes available and widely known. And that becomes voting according to ‘public passion’.
Given the current invisible, jelly-like non-execution of many of our laws, will the leaker get a real penalty? Can the leaker be found? Will the first decision of the new Leftist Mastery of UNTruth, rule that the Alito document was misinformation if the final decision doesn’t coincide with Alito’s draft? Is that why it was set up NOW?
Will 2000 Mules movie get any mainstream media mention? Will all the currently sold out theatres across the country CARE?
Is there a definite connection between the Left’s Mini- Molecule of TRUTH, THE LEAK and the DINESH movie 2000 Mules?
No, it won’t gain any mainstream attention. Even if it did most people don’t seem to care. Those that do care just shrug and say, “we don’t have anything in the constitution to handle this” or “we could impeach him, but then Harris would be pres, or if we impeach her to, Pelosi gets to run things, and it wouldn’t get enough votes anyways”
While it would be nice if leftists saw the benefit in states being allowed to decide how they want to handle abortion, they’ve always shown they despise the concept at its core. We like “live and let live.” Leftists like beating people with sticks until they submit. After all, leftism is a failure in every way, and if people are free to try other things, the peasants may start noticing just how much of an unmitigated disaster these loons really are. Abortion has the extra problem of feeling absolutely morally reprehensible, even to the people who support it. It’s always funny (and sad) to watch pro-death people squirm in their seats whenever they see ultrasounds of unborn children, because they know that they can only feel vaguely comfortable killing it if they can’t see its face and realize it’s very alive, very human, very vulnerable, and very innocent. And, so like any addictive, destructive drug, they NEED everyone to snort it with them so they don’t feel like they’re the scum of society.
Leftists always want to concentrate power in Washington because it is easier to lobby one group of Congresscritters than fifty different sets.
… because that’s the most expedient way to absorb our nation into the world’s generally Leftist designs.
The way to defeat a true Republic is to ignore or remove the rules that form the framework of American Federalism. This can be graphically represented by a slowly eclipsing venn diagram where the national authority subsumes all lesser forms of authority. Central authority is absolutely essential if you’re going to create and enforce laws that the majority population does not want nor agree with.
The American Left is an anti-democratic ideology that only applies a veneer of democracy where most conducive to the path ending in non-democratic totalitarian power.
Anyone who’s read George Orwell’s Animal Farm should know that. It’s the “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others” part of that book.
What’s more damaging to the country, “truth police”, “leaked” Supreme Court deliberations which threaten the safety of the judges, and holding people in jail for over a year for taking selfies in the Capitol on January 6th, or the actions of a few rubes disregarding pleas for peaceful protest on January 6th itself?
This isn’t the first leak of Supreme Court decisions. Neither did the first one happen in early 70’s. Try the 1910’s when they were being leaked so people could buy/sell stocks before the decisions were made public. That being said, and this “leak” being a draft, I have to believe that there was at least a straw poll that was done to determine how the justices will be voting (or have voted) and then someone is selected to write the opinions.
If one of the justices changes their mind at this point, they shouldn’t be on the bench. They were selected to follow the law and come to a logical, fact based decision(whether they personally agree with it or not), not cave to hysterical ideology. If they can not hold their opinion in the face of adversity, they are cowards. I,for one, have had enough of people like that trying to tell everyone else what to do and how to do it, while never having done so themselves.
Thanks, guys, for another excellent discussion. I view this “leak” as a raw political gambit in hopes of rescuing a party that is desperately underwater with public opinion. Regardless of the final SCOTUS decision, the leaker(s) are just seeking leverage on a divisive and emotional issue going into the midterms. On a related note, one precedent is that bad precedents sometimes get overturned.
I’ve been ignoring this story, since 90% of the coverage have been the reactions to the news and people’s reactions to the reactions. Thank you for finding a fresh angle on the topic
