Sunday's video: Democrats and “Roe v Wade”




The left's hysteria over abortion






The left is so over the top that I am no longer surprised by its hysterics, language, or public behavior.  Ruth Marcus is even longing for another "Bork" moment.  Maybe Senator Harris of California can read Senator Kennedy's infamous speech about back-alley abortions.
According to some news reports, the next justice is going to overturn Roe v. Wade on the first day of the job.
It does not work that way.  Justices can write opinions on only the cases in front of them.
Overturning Roe v. Wade will not end abortion in the U.S.  Instead, overturning the opinion will send it back to state legislatures.
My guess is that some states will write laws creating a right to an abortion, and others will not.  Most will pass abortion laws with certain restrictions, as they do in most countries.
The two biggest consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade will be political:
1. The issue will be debated openly in the political arena, from state legislatures to campaigns for office.  For example, Hispanic Democrats in Texas will be forced to explain to Hispanic women why they support abortion after 20 weeks.
2. Modern technology has changed the debate by providing incredible details about the baby in the womb.
Nevertheless, the biggest benefit of overturning Roe v. Wade is that judicial confirmations will no longer be endless questions about abortion.  We will get back to a time when judicial nominations were about judicial temperament rather than wedge issues like abortion.
Let's face it.  Roe v. Wade has done more to poison our political waters than anything else in the last 45 years.

Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar, who is running for re-election in Minnesota, does not want to abolish ICE..........

Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar, who is running for re-election in Minnesota, does not want to abolish ICE.   

This is what she said:  
Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Sunday bucked calls by fellow high-profile Democrats to abolish the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, putting a damper on the far-left proposal that has gained mainstream traction in recent days.
"We are always going to need immigration enforcement," Klobuchar said on ABC's "This Week."
"I think we know that," she added. "We are a major country with major borders, so to me, the issue is what are those policies."
We should add that Senator Klobuchar is running for re-election in Minnesota, a state where Republicans are gaining strength.

We remind you that the Democrats calling to abolish ICE are not running for re-election or in competitive campaigns.

Say it ain't so, Mexico!


Well, Lopez-Obrador will be the next president of Mexico.   His two main rivals, Mr. Anaya & Mr. Meade, conceded around 9 pm.

It's up to Mr. LO to unite a very divided country.   He must also prove to the business community, and investors, that he is not really the leftist populist that we saw in the campaign.

As for the much expected LO-Trump feud, I hope that Mr. LO understands that Mr. Trump has a stronger hand in any negotiation.
