The Show Notes: Roe v. Wade is Dead

BREAKING: Roe v. Wade is dead

Today, the Supreme Court said it plainly, perhaps more plainly than I could. “The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.” Here is the text.

Dan McLaughlin @baseballcrank

Justice Alito remains the undisputed champion of making lawyers pay for things they concede or can't defend at oral argument.

Erick Erickson @EWErickson

Alito points out the lawyers for Dobbs gave the Court no middle ground. They argued the 15 week ban in Mississippi meant either Roe must go or the ban must go. Challenge accepted.

Chris Pandolfo @ChrisCPandolfo

Whatever you think of Donald Trump, today’s victory for the pro-life movement would not have happened without the justices he nominated to the Supreme Court.

John McCormack @McCormackJohn

McConnell: "The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Dobbs is courageous and correct. This is an historic victory for the Constitution and for the most vulnerable in our society."

Catholic Church Prepares for Attacks From Abortion-Rights Activists

This is from Newsweek:

The Catholic Church is heeding federal law enforcement's warning that a radical group is "calling for extreme violence" against churches nationwide in response to the Supreme Court's expected reversal of abortion rights.

An internal document obtained by Newsweek outlines intelligence shared by the Department of Homeland Security with the Catholic Church of a planned "Night of Rage," targeting churches and pregnancy centers over their opposition to abortion rights. The document sheds light on how law enforcement and the church are bracing for backlash after a leaked opinion showed the Supreme Court preparing to rescind federal abortion rights.

CNBC is DONE with Biden

The anchors at CNBC are increasingly hostile to the Biden administration. CNBC ripped the White House’s statement on domestic oil production as “political wordle” in a heated segment this morning.

RNC Research @RNCResearch

"POLITICAL WORDLE": CNBC rips the Biden administration for lying about domestic oil production. "We're not anywhere near record oil production."

Even Democrats Buck Biden’s Gas Tax Holiday

Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durben, and Steney Hoyer were just a few of the Demcorats who ripped the Biden administration’s proposal to enact a gas tax holiday.

CNN's John King: "A Democrat president, his party's in trouble, he's in trouble in an election year. He has a major policy announcement and his own party dumps on it within seconds."

Ukraine Orders Withdrawal From Severodonetsk to Avoid Encirclement

This is from The Wall Street Journal:

Ukraine ordered its troops to withdraw from their remaining foothold in the city of Severodonetsk to avoid encirclement, ending a battle that lasted nearly two months and giving Russia a small but symbolically important victory in the grinding war for control of eastern Ukraine’s Donbas area.

Severodonetsk, a city of just over 100,000 people before the war, served as the administrative center of Ukrainian-controlled parts of Luhansk, one of the two regions that make up Donbas. Most of the city was taken by Russian troops in recent weeks, with Ukrainian defenders mostly holed up in the sprawling Azot industrial plant.

A conservative, HISPANIC mom of three recently won a contentious school board race in @TownofCedarburg WI. At 10 pm last night, woke radicals terrorized her young family by repeatedly circling their home& screaming from their vehicle, "Wake-up you uneducated bigot!” @libsoftiktok

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Today the Supreme Court correctly returned the power to regulate abortion to the states. I will soon introduce a proposal to support mothers and their babies so that every child has a real opportunity to pursue the promise of America.
