Rep. Michael Waltz: Leaked Draft Opinion ‘Clearly an Attempt to Influence the Outcome’

‘Be prepared for a Kavanaugh-like approach to the Supreme Court on this one’

TRANSCRIPT:

WALTZ: “Well, I think that is unclear at this point because it’s never happened before, to my knowledge. This is just so outrageous that this draft opinion was leaked. It is clearly an attempt to influence the outcome. Guys, be prepared for the scorched-earth tactics of the left on this issue. They truly believe the ends justify the means no matter what laws or what norms they have to break, and be prepared for a Kavanaugh-like approach to the Supreme Court on this one. They are going to burn it down, as you are hearing activists say, in order to try to stop this. And what is such a shame is that many pro-life activists, many people who believe in the sanctity of life abided by the law for nearly 50 years, even though they believe that child’s life was being unjustly taken, but I would not expect that same courtesy from the other side for our nation's system and for its rule of law."
