Speaking the truth about Roe? How much longer can Danny Cevallos last at MSNBC?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
“Penumbras and emanations”
The right to life is stated explicitly in the companion document, the Declaration.
Even Alan Dershowitz recognizes this truth.
The left doesn't seem to pay much attention to all of this "precedent" chit when they are going after the 2A.
If Roe is safe owing to "precedence" emanating from a tortured reading of the 14th and 4th amendments, the 2A ought to be dam near untouchable owing to the fact that it is expressly and definitively written into the constitution.
Shaky sometimes wins. Obamacare for example.
Shaking? Has he listened to any democrats speech lately?
Notice until there is a SC opening up, nobody ever spends much time discussing the merits of Roe v Wade.
If you can call it legal reasoning at all. If you read Roe it’s more about what a good policy Blackmun thought abortion was. Not much legal reasoning.
The SCOTUS never should have taken the case.
Basically there’s two honest people at MSNBC... or at least capable of being honest at times... He’s one of ‘em.
A privacy right “emanating” from the penumbra does not originate in Roe v. Wade. It comes from Griswold v. Connecticut on contraceptives, the writing of Justice Douglas. But Griswold should have been settled on the 9th amendment alone.
The Supreme Court basically goes by Planned Parenthood v. Casey , 505 U.S. 833 (1992), nowadays.
“Blackmun has been noted for the fact that compared to other Justices on the Supreme Court, he had let his law clerks utilize great latitude as far as writing opinions for him, such as his opinion in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which was written by Stephanie Dangel, now a lawyer in Pennsylvania.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Blackmun
“Ms. Dangel recalled working a minimum 12 hours a day, seven days a week while researching and writing opinions for the Casey case and others. ‘It was a very tense time and a very important decision. ... It was a 5-4 decision, so we knew one vote would change everything.’”
Roe v. Wade was 7-2.

The thing that I have not seen discussed is that if Roe v Wade were invalidated, abortion in big cities run by democrats would be a lot less restrictive.
Leaving aside all the political tumult it caused and any moral considerations, Roe v Wade was possibly THE least well-reasoned, most ill-informed decision ever to come out of that court. Had it not caused so much damage for decades now, it would be laughable.
No kidding
Right to privacy argument
It should have stayed up to the states like weed
I’d prefer completely outlawed but just overturning Roe would be excellent
The reasoning that the Right to Privacy translates into Slaughtering a six-month-old baby by crushing his or her skull, escapes me.
Just great. Now Joy and her gaggle of loons are going to want to wear Penumbra hats! First they came for my vagina... Don't be touchin' my penumbra now!!!
Ron Paul’s 2005 Sanctity of Life bill nukes abortion at the federal level and returns it to the states. No SCOTUS needed.
Sounds like Danny’s auditioning for FOX.
