"One of the big problems has been the Supreme Court have gotten up on a particular side of the bed in the morning wanting to change social policy because of their view of changes in society," he said. "That's the wrong way to go."

Bingo.

“But he’s not a candidate yet!”

Yeah, okey dokey, between Fred getting in, Romeny flopping around like a trout in heat and RP folks debating fraud at a straw polls things are about to get really fun...

Check this out- on CNN main page under Latest Headlines they say:

Ticker: Law & Order star : “I’ll ban abortion”

You read the article and NO WHERE does Fred say that- CNN is starting early...

Okay, scratch that. I listened to it before I posted it, but now it’s playing another part of the interview. What I heard was John King ask him if he were President would he work to overturn Roe V. Wade, and Fred said yes. There’s more to it than that of course. Darn, I wish it would play correctly!

I read that he rode around the fair in a golf cart? Is this true?

The film I saw of him didn’t show him in a golf cart.

Yes, “work to overturn Roe V. Wade” has a little different tone than “he will Ban Abortion”, but CNN doesn’t like Fred cause he is our only hope to defeat Hillary.
