they aired uninterrupted the questions and responses from the Supreme Court regarding the Mississippi abortion law. Of course they all added their framed views as soon as the recordings ended, but for close to two hours they were actually news channels
Couple of takeaways, based on the questions, first, probability exists they will uphold the Mississippi law leaving abortion up to the individual State, but the question remains if they will continue onward and just scrap Roe vs Wade
Second, Kagan bought out an interesting point, if all the same circumstances exist today that existed prior to the last three appointees to the Court taking their seats, when the same Roberts Court upheld Roe vs Wade, why now then did Mississippi pass that law? The thought was given consideration given that in the Mississippi legislature it was echoed often that they could do it now cause of the Trump Justices.
What she was pointing out was that the Court’s own integrity is at stake, and could be considered as nothing more than just another political entity
And lastly, there is a reason Thomas never asks questions, he is a dimwit. Asked one question totally unrelated to discussions and was embarrassed when the lawyer easily point out his inanity

Hmmm ... an obastard appointee complaining about partisanship on the SCOTUS .... whoda thunk ???

Time to see if the trump plants will destroy the SCOTUS
Abortion is a reality that will never go away- regardless to whether it is legal or illegal.
Teen sex is a reality that will never go away- regardless to whether it is legal or illegal.
Rape and Teen Rape are realities as well, and it will never go away either- no matter what the Supreme Court has to say about that.
There will always be certain Birth Defects, and certain health risks to certain mothers who become pregnant- regardless to what the SUPREME COURT has to say about that.
These are all realities that are uncomfortable for most people to deal with, discuss, or even fully understand.
This is why it becomes crazy to just outlaw something that is rendered as an uncomfortable reality to some.
Here is the REALITY that is the most important- MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE ABOUT ABORTIONS- BUT HAVING THAT SAID- MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE ABOUT MAKING ABORTIONS ILLEGAL!
Most Americans feel that a woman's choice is the best choice for America!
I do not think the Supreme Court will ignore this REALITY!
My plea is not directed at you- IT IS DIRECTED STRAIGHT TO THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES!
THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY- LET'S KEEP IT FREE- AND LET'S NOT MAKE POLITICAL FRINGE GROUP DECISIONS ON THE SUPREME COURT PLEASE!
LET'S HAVE RESPECT FOR DEMOCRACY AND LET DEMOCRACY WORK BY ALLOWING A MAJORITY TO DECIDE WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA- AND NOT SOME HOLIER-THAN-THOU POLITICALLY LIFE-TIME APPOINTED PANEL OF JUDGES!
Thank you very much!

The arguement, not mine, is that since abortion is not noted in the Constitution it doesn't fall under protection of the Constitution per say and is left up to the States to determine for themselves. Those same advocates would rebutal that those rights are specifically listed in the Constitution

You make some valid points, but none that would sway this Court, their view isn't about the morality of abortion nor the religious aspects of it but rather that it does not fall under the protection of the Constitution.
As I noted, the probability is that they are going to punt on the Mississippi law thereby leaving up to the States to decide for themselves
