Radical Left Unleashes a Firestorm on the Supreme Court

What we have now seen since the leak of the authentic Supreme Court draft opinion in the monumental case that has the potential to overturn Roe v. Wade is that the Left is weaponizing this draft to attempt to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law as early as next week. To do that, they would need to get rid of the legislative filibuster in the U.S. Senate. The Left is willing to throw everything out to save this “right to abortion” and the abortion industry they are beholden to.
This is the biggest fight of our generation. The Left worships at the altar of abortion. Even President Biden advocated to “abort a CHILD,” when he said:
"The idea that we are going to make a judgment that is going to say that no one can make the judgment to choose to abort a child based on a decision by the Supreme Court, I think, goes way overboard."
ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow countered the President’s shocking statement:
"Listen to what he said. . . . This tells you . . . when we said they worship at the altar of abortion, that is basically what you are seeing happen right now. We said the abortion laws have distorted the First Amendment and Justice Alito in his draft opinion says yes, and cites one of our cases, it distorted the First Amendment because all of the rules change. Now, you’ve got the President of the United States saying 'abort a child.'"
So now, before one of the most monumental rulings on life is even announced, the Left is trying to plan ahead for if the Court actually does overturn Roe v. Wade. ACLJ Director of Government Affairs Thann Bennett gave his take on how the vote to codify Roe could go down:
"I would put in three different buckets. . . . The first is . . . the effort to codify Roe v. Wade. There are two Republicans, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, that would be willing to vote with Democrats on that issue. Now Joe Manchin . . . opposes it. In that universe, you have 51 votes in favor of that. However, two things . . . the bill that they are going to put forward next week actually isn’t just a codification of Roe, it is also an elimination on every pro-life restriction that is already on the books in the states. And on that issue, it looks like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski are probably okay. However, Susan and Lisa are the main sponsors of a narrower bill that still codifies Roe v. Wade. So, what I’m concerned about is maybe they will try to pull a sleight-of-hand here, instead of putting up a bill . . . that has already failed, they might put a bill that looks like the one that those two Republicans sponsored and ask them if they might be willing to provide the two votes to nuke the filibuster that Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema won’t give them. That sounds like a lot, but . . . yes, they do have to get to 50 votes twice. They have to get it to nuke the filibuster and . . . to codify Roe. But they don’t have to use the same mix of 50 votes to get to those two. They could use a couple of Republicans to clear one hurdle. Then use all Democrats to clear the next one."
