Credit Trump, McConnell and RBG for Roe v. Wade Reversal
There are three big takeaways from yesterday’s long-awaited reversal of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court:
Elections really do matter.
There really is a qualitative difference between the two major political parties.
Unbridled personal hubris really can be a person’s downfall.
In November, 2016, I described the election of Donald Trump to the presidency as an act of God. I was only half-kidding, because the circumstances around that election and the withering assault from the corrupt news media and a Democrat party apparatus funded by billions of dollars in dark money Trump had to overcome had seemed insurmountable by an ordinary human being.
But Trump was no ordinary human being, and so he defied the odds and won, and yesterday’s reversal of Roe proved that that 2016 victory was one of the most consequential elections in the history of our country. It was a seeming act of God that ultimately resulted in the removal of a judicial abomination from the books. Roe v. Wade was an extra-constitutional decision that lacked any foundation other than the inventive imaginings of Justice Harry Blackmun. It was a judicial atrocity that distorted our legal system and tore our country apart for half a century because a series of Republican presidents kept putting liberals on the Court.
