Amy Klobuchar: ‘I Hope’ SCOTUS Won’t Overturn Roe V. Wade

‘But if you follow those tracks, as I mentioned at Justice Coney Barrett’s hearing, I think you know where it leads’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KLOBUCHAR: “I hope not, Dana. But if you follow those tracks, as I mentioned at justice coney Barrett’s hearing, I think you know where it leads. This decision that they made with the state of Texas is unbelievable. Justice Roberts, not exactly a liberal, a conservative justice who sided with the liberal justices in this case in dissent said that the Texas law was unusually, it was unprecedented, that they’re basically taking their own authority and giving it to the populous in the form of, hey, you can be a bounty hunter, $10,000 you can report a woman who’s trying to go and seek to exercise her constitutional rights. That is exactly what that law says. And in the past when they had cases that were so blatantly against roe V. Wade, they would stay those cases when such requests came up. They did it with another Texas law. They did it in 2015. They did it in 2019. And, so, here you have them this year, this week, basically telling women in Texas that 85% of them seeking abortion services cannot exercise their constitutional rights. And they know very well that there are over 500 laws that are messing around with this, and you’re going to see cases just like this come before them. In Ed it at midnight with just less than 72 hours of debate. And basically greenlighted a law that is blatantly against roe V. Wade.”
