well you know
nobody has done more for christianity
nobody has done more for religion of all
types than
me
those insane words are not mine
that is the latest burst of verbal
dementia from donald trump in an
interview today with the christian
broadcasting network
now i have known since my catholic
school days that that
is blasphemy and the six catholics on
the supreme court know
that's blasphemy
donald trump thinks he has done more for
christianity than jesus christ donald
trump is uneducated in all things and so
he does not know who christianity is
named after
and so it is ironic to put it mildly
that three of the supreme court justices
appointed by the only blasphemous
president in history are leaning heavily
on their religion
as they willfully for the first time in
american history revoke a constitutional
right
in the draft supreme court opinion that
will live in infamy samuel alito says on
page one
the constitution makes no mention of
abortion the constitution also makes no
mention of the right to travel the
government has never granted us the
right to travel yet we have always had
it
roe versus wade linked the right to
abortion services to the right to
privacy which we also always assumed
that we have but the constitution
doesn't mention a right to privacy and
samuel alito and a majority of the
supreme court don't believe that you
have a right to privacy but they do
believe that they have a right to
privacy which is why the chief justice
of the supreme court for the first time
in its history has ordered an
investigation
of the very worst thing that has ever
happened to the supreme court the
court's
privacy has been invaded
the chief justice calls the violation of
the court's privacy a quote egregious
breach of trust
and that's how the supreme court feels
when they lose their privacy it's
egregious for them
but they don't care how you feel
when they take your privacy away
the private deliberations of the supreme
court have been invaded by the leak of
the alito first draft of the revocation
of a constitutional right samuel leto
says that a right to abortion services
is not quote
deeply rooted in this nation's history
women on the supreme court are not
deeply rooted in this nation's history
nowhere does the constitution say that
women can serve on the supreme court
nowhere does the constitution say that
black people can serve on the supreme
court the founders thought only white
men should ever serve on the supreme
court the founders were the original
proponents of affirmative action
exclusively for white men
the founders deeply and fervently
believed in carrying out the mass murder
of as many members of the native tribes
of this continent and enslaving as many
black people as was necessary
for white men
to reign supreme in this land
that is
deeply rooted in this nation's history
if you are using deeply rooted in this
nation's history as the basis for what
you think is right and just then you are
lost
you are morally lost samuel alito
reaches back to legal writings
in 17th century england
to show that the right to abortion
services is not deeply rooted in our
history
he cites
sir edward cook
writing in 1644
that abortion is a crime
in 1644 in england
they were still having witch trials
ending
in the execution of the convicted
witches and sir edward cook
helped english law define which is when
he rewrote english law in 1604 to make
it even more cruel in witchcraft trials
he wrote a witch is a person who hath
conference with the devil to consult
with him
or to do some act
so samuel alito
is quoting approvingly
the 1644 judgment
on abortion of an english aristocrat who
said a witch is a person who has
conference with the devil
samuel alito is reaching back four
centuries to use sir edward cook
as a moral authority on abortion a man
who believed in witches and believed
they were working with the devil and
believed that witches should be murdered
by the state and he helped make sure
that they were murdered by the state in
england
samuel lolito needs to talk to the clerk
working for him
who found that reference to sir edward
cook
and get that erased from his draft
opinion
we were executing witches in this
country as late as 1692.
men and women were given the death
penalty in this country for being
witches mostly women of course
dorothy good was four years old
when she was accused of being a witch in
massachusetts so when you're justifying
outlawing abortion because people
conducting which trials also believed
abortion should be against the law you
are morally lost
that is what the twisted reasoning of
samuel alito has delivered to us in the
first supreme court opinion in history
revoking a constitutional right
for most presidents the only thing they
get to do that outlasts their presidency
is appoint supreme court justices
clarence thomas's service on the supreme
court is the only enduring thing from
the presidency of george h.w bush a vote
for george h.w bush for president in
1988 has turned out to be
a vote to revoke
a constitutional right
his son george w bush created the
department of homeland security which
endures and began wars that he could not
complete but his most enduring legacy
is now the delivery of samuel alito to
the united states supreme court the
first supreme court justice to write an
opinion revoking a constitutional right
donald trump did something that no
one-term president has ever done before
he appointed three supreme court
justices the last president to appoint
three supreme court justices was ronald
reagan and it took him eight years to do
it donald trump
the president least capable in our
history of evaluating candidates for the
united states supreme court got to
appoint three of them and all three of
them are voting to revoke a
constitutional right seventy percent of
the country is opposed to what the
supreme court is doing in a democracy
this could never happen but we do not
live in a democracy because of the
electoral college and the united states
senate the only way the alito opinion
can get a majority vote in the supreme
court now is thanks to the electoral
college
installing two republican presidents
who came in second with the voters al
gore got more votes than george w bush
but george w bush got the presidency
thanks to the electoral college donald
trump came in second with the voters by
a wide margin but was installed in the
presidency by the electoral college
democrats in the united states senate
represent far more people than
republicans represent but both parties
have the same number of seats in the
united states senate
because of the profoundly
anti-democratic formula that each state
gets two senators the 44 million people
of california get two senators and the
1.6 million people of the dakotas get
four
that is not democracy that can never be
democracy and so 70 percent of the
country is living tonight under the
anguish and the weight of minority rule
70 percent of the country is losing a
constitutional right against their will
70 percent of the country has had that
constitutional right for their entire
lives but for samuel alito that is not
deeply rooted in this nation's history
there is one president in our history
who was impeached twice
and never won a majority vote in a
presidential election and he got to
appoint the same number of justices as
ronald reagan who won 49 states in his
re-election campaign
there is one president in our history
who provoked serious public discussions
of using the 25th amendment to remove
him from office
and he got to appoint
three supreme court justices
the first public discussion of the 25th
amendment with donald trump that i'm
aware of to remove him from office was
on this program in the first month of
the trump presidency and we now know
that in the last month of the trump
presidency in the last days of the trump
presidency
there were serious discussions about
removing donald trump using the 25th
amendment and those discussions were
taking place
among congressional leadership in both
parties
kevin mccarthy the leader of the house
republicans participated in discussions
about removing donald trump using the
25th amendment after the january 6th
attack on the capitol today the authors
of the new book titled this will not
pass released audio tape of kevin
mccarthy in a meeting
with house republican leadership
discussing the possible impeachment of
donald trump and the possibility
of removing him from office
using the 25th amendment
yeah but what the president did is
atrocious and totally wrong
um
from the standpoint you're 12 days away
i mean the one point i'd make the fight
if you have an impeachment and you're
stuck sitting in the senate and he needs
captive members you've got secretary of
state you've got a lot of things that
you've got to have moving
and do you think from a perspective you
put everything else away this country is
very very divine you know i think the
options that have been cited by the
democrats so
far the 25th amendment which um is not
exactly an elegant solution here
that takes too long too because we go
back to the house
right yeah and it is correct if the
president were to submit a letter over
ruling the cabinet and the vice
president two-thirds vote in the house
that's overruled the president so it's
kind of
an artful uh
obviously impeachment has been discussed
and then i mean i think they want him to
resign which i don't see happening
either um but members are talking about
it and
we'll keep you posted on what we're
hearing
the president they are talking about got
to appoint three supreme court justices
after coming in second with the voters
and after mitch mcconnell defied the
constitution and refused to bring
president obama's last supreme court
nominee to a vote in the senate so that
donald trump
could choose one of the names on mitch
mcconnell's list to fill the seat on the
supreme court that the constitution said
should have been filled
by president obama
such is the constitutional treachery
of republican minority rule in the 21st
century which
is well on its way
to being
deeply rooted
in this country's history
