Roe v. Wade to be overturned?

It's Lindsey Graham, if it was a legit "Republican plan" he's not the guy who would have proposed it. He has no clout with the GOP leadership - which is why he gravitated to Trump in the first place, so he'd have at least one Republican in DC who would listen to him.

 

Alt take: Lady G is deliberately trying to torpedo the GOP's November chances.

 

I think politicians on both sides of the aisle enjoy using the abortion issue as a fundraiser. It doesn't play in the GOPs favor to push the issue in the swing districts, but I do also wonder if the GOP is worried that pro-life voters in red states may be less motivated to vote now. That said - again I doubt Lindsey ran this by anyone. It makes any GOP Senator who doesn't jump on board "soft" on abortion and something that could get them primaried and more vulnerable in swing states.

 

Graham does not look healthy. Booze is no good for looking fabulous, you take it from one who knows.

 

Which is the provision in the Constitution which allows the federal government to regulate the nation wide practice of a specific medical procedure.

 

Remember: We invaded Iraq 18 months after 9/11. There was still lots of jingoism floating around. Democrats didn't want to be seen as anti-American and pro-terrorist. Afghanistan was going relatively well, and the thought was that we'd clean up Iraq relatively quickly — oh, yeah, we were going to take all their oil money, too, to fix the country.

And maybe we would've had the temporary administration not been so ham-handed with their early moves.

I feel like the split at the time was more 60/40 than 75/25, but Ragu's point remains...

 

With less than two months before the midterms, it's an all-out race to the bottom to see which party can throw away any political advantage it has. The inflation numbers were brutal today, which was exactly what the GOP needed to counter falling gas prices and Biden's improving approval ratings, but then Lady Lindsey throws that stinkbomb into the fray, where Democrat women were already motivated to turn out in big numbers.

Our country's leadership is jaw-droppingly stupid. Founding Fathers facepalm.

 

You might as well don a clown wig if you're going to rock a hairpiece that bad.

 

I was called a corporatist warmonger when reporting on one of the anti war rallies. Wish I would’ve seen some of that corporate money.

 

Are we saying it is time for Lindsey Graham to abort this idea?

 

It's definitely a breech of etiquette.

 

If you’re Schumer, do you make sure this gets a vote? Works for a senator from South Carolina to propose it and avoid being flanked on his right. Put all 50 on the record and help your races nationally, yeah?
