A few hours ago, the installed occupant of the white house delivered impromptu remarks to the press concerning a leaked draft from a pending Supreme Court decision. [Video and Transcript Below]
[Transcript] – Q What do you think of the ruling — or the draft that leaked, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: “Well, first of all, I just got a call saying that it’s been announced that it is a real draft, but it doesn’t represent who’s going to vote for it yet. I hope there are not enough votes for it.
It’s the main reason why I worked so hard to keep Robert Bork off the Court. It reflects his view almost — almost word — anyway.
Look, the idea that — it concerns me a great deal that we’re going to, after 50 years, decide a woman does not have a right to choose within the limits of the Supreme Court decision in Casey, number one.”
“But even more equally as profound is the rationale used. And it would mean that every other decision relating to the notion of privacy is thrown into question.
I realize this goes back a long way, but one of the debates I had with Robert Bork was whether — whether Griswold vs. Connecticut should stand as law.
The state of Connecticut said that the privacy of your bedroom — you — a husband and wife or a couple could not choose to use contraception; the use of contraception was a violation of the law.
If the rationale of the decision as released were to be sustained, a whole range of rights are in question — a whole range of rights. And the idea we’re letting the states make those decisions, localities make those decisions would be a fundamental shift in what we’ve done.
So, it goes far beyond — in my view, if it becomes a law and if what is written is what remains, it goes far beyond the concern of whether or not there is the right to choose. It goes to other basic rights: the right to marry, the right to determine a whole range of things. Because one of the issues that this Court — many of the members of the Court — a number of the members of the Court have not acknowledged is that there is a right to privacy in our Constitution.
I strongly believe there is. I think the decision in Griswold was correct overruling; I think the decision in Roe was correct, because there’s a right to privacy. There can be limitations on it, but it cannot be denied.
Q Do you think this leak has irreparably changed the Court?
THE PRESIDENT: Beg your pardon?
Q Do you think that this leak has irreparably changed the Court? We’ve never seen this happen before.
THE PRESIDENT: You know, if — if this decision holds, it’s really quite a radical decision.
And, again, the underlying premise — and, again, I’ve not had a chance to thoroughly go into the report — the decision. But it basically says all the decisions related to your private life — who you marry, whether or not you decide to conceive a child or not, whether or not you can have an abortion, a range of other decisions — whether or not — how you raise your child —
What does this do — and does this mean that in Florida they can decide they’re going to pass a law saying that same-sex marriage is not permissible, that it’s against the law in Florida?
And so, there’s a whole — it’s a fundamental shift in American jurisprudence if it were to hold.
Q Mr. President, should the Senate do away with the filibuster to codify Roe?
THE PRESIDENT: I’m not — I’m not prepared to make those judgments now about — but, you know, I think the codification of Roe makes a lot of sense.
Look, think what Roe says. Roe says what all basic mainstream religions have historically concluded — that the right — that the existence of a human life and being is a question. Is it at the moment of conception? Is it six months? Is it six weeks? Is it — is it quickening, like Aquinas argued?
I mean, so the idea that we’re 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.
Q What does this mean for the midterms? What does this mean for the Democrats’ argument in the midterms?
THE PRESIDENT: I haven’t thought that through yet.
Q Do changes need to be made to the Court in light of this, if this decision holds?
THE PRESIDENT: I beg your pardon?
Q Do changes need to be made to the Court in light of this, if this decision holds?
THE PRESIDENT: We have to choose — I mean, look, one of the reasons why I voted against a number of the members of the Court: They refuse to acknowledge that there’s a 9th Amendment. They refuse to acknowledge there’s a right to privacy.
I mean, there are so many fundamental rights that are affected by that. And I’m not allo- — I’m not prepared to leave that to the whims and the — and the — of the public at the moment in local areas.”
Thank you so much. (LINK)
How Many ABORTIONS have HUNTER procured?
When will Joe acknowledge his grandchild from Tennessee??
In 40 years, the child will be one of those who claim to be the granddaughter of a US President, like some who have claimed to be related in parentage, to a US President, and no one will believe her until the DNA is checked, if then and will be relegated to the title of ‘loony tunes’. I feel badly for this child.
Joe Biden is your President, the position of the Catholic Catechism is that abortion is a mortal sin, Joe Biden is a Catholic?
Right/
Joe Biden *is your _resident*…
Fixed it for ya…no thanks needed.
?? Pretty broad brush with which you paint. I have never heard any Catholics profess the belief that any Pope will secure their eternal salvation. If it is considered ‘confusion’ to believe that killing a child out of convenience to the parent’s lifestyle, then I am a ‘confused Catholic.’
Biden explicitly claimed that Roe v. wade “says what all basic mainstream religions have historically concluded” — that when human life begins in the womb is an unanswerable “question.”
Biden, who claims to be Catholic, cited St. Thomas Aquinas to argue the point. In fact the Catholic Church condemns abortion at any stage from conception onward, and the U.S. bishops have explained that Aquinas “rejected abortion as gravely wrong at every stage, calling it a sin ‘against nature’ to reject God’s gift of life”
I’ll just leave this here…

Joe has (d)evolved.
So, he couldn’t care less about the leak. All he cares about is the draft ruling.
Since when did he care about privacy? Is this the same guy who expects us to be fired if we cannot prove we had the arm drugs? Is this the same guy who just instituted a Ministry of Truth or whatever they want to call the bogus position? Is this the same guy who is spying on Americans and who spied on Candidate/Nominee/President Elect/President TRUMP?
BTW, he seems very prepared to give us a dog whistle word salad about why it’s B A D.
I too couldn’t believe it when he started blathering about how much he loves privacy. What a POS.
He must have been really drugged up to remember all that or else they now have some kind of implant that he can hear.
Flashback:
In 1982 Joe Biden voted for a Constitutional Amendment to overturn Roe vs. Wade and make it a state issue…..the same as what is happening now. Guess Democrats forgot about this happening with hypocrite Joe Biden.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/05/flashback-1982-joe-biden-voted-constitutional-amendment-overturn-roe-v-wade-make-states-issue/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=PostTopSharingButtons&utm_campaign=websitesharingbuttons
Hell, puddinhead don’t even remember it. lol
“We’re letting the states…” is where I quit. Our Constitution states that all laws not specifically allowed to the federal government remain in the States and the people. Unalienable. God gave us the rights and it’s up to us to keep it that way.
So the National Parks should be in the management of the State wherein they lie. Bureau of Land Management must be a state function. Each state should have its own EPA, CDC, and a National Institutes for Health is illegal. National CDC, EPA, National FBI, National Highways are illegal too.
it’s a fine line. i side with the unstated laws being of the people not the states. that way privacy is maximized.
whether it’s the state militia or the u.s. army shooting you, you’re still being shot at.
Each state has its own EPA or equivalent already. Ditto health departments, etc. The federal bureaucracies are often just duplication of efforts causing huge federal income taxes to support them. We got along without Education, HHS, Labor for hundred plus years. All these issues are the proper concern of the states, per the Constitution.
I don’t think we need nor are they Constitutional most of the agencies at the Federal Level. I strongly reject the Federal Government owning so much land in the west. 75%-85% of the land one way or another is too much. Why do you think Soros took over California first and Colorado next? He finally got Nevada and Utah later. He did it because land equals power and you can make deals with China when you control the land. Remember harry reid?
The big seismic change is not so much the abortion part, but the Federalism doctrine. The feds have “enumerated powers”. That is “explicit” powers… Not implicit ones. That would have tremendous implicationsfot any subsequent challenge to federal overreach.
It also impacts the regulatory apparatus as states are responsible for anything that is not an enumerated power.
Things may be about to get testy as governors attempt to reclaim their authority and place the federal satraps of the left in their ace and out of any relevance.
it isn’t at all clear. it says to the states and the people. why on say abortion is it the state and not the person? hmmm?
government off my back, out of my uterus (figuratively speaking), off my computer, out of my bedroom, and off my lawn.
state or federal. or local for that matter.
Here’s what the 10th Amendment says…
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
So…
One: The U.S. only has the powers given to it by the Constitution.
Two: States do not have powers given to the U.S. by the Constitution; but do have any other powers they are not prohibited by the Constitution from having.
Three: The people have all powers not given by the Constitution to the U.S. and that have also not been Constitutionally claimed by the states.
If a person does not wish to live according to the laws passed in accordance with the powers claimed by the state wherein they reside, they have the right to electorally change their representatives to get the unwanted laws changed or they can move to a different state.
I don’t particularly like it, but in my opinion, that is the meaning of the 10th Amendment based on its wording. All counter interpretations are welcome for consideration…
What governors are going to do that? A handful at best.
Dumb statement: “This is a radical decision….” No, Katholic-Joe, the radical decision was about 50 years ago when the court said that “in the penumbra of the Constitution” it is provided that women had the “choice” to kill the baby in the womb. No such choice has ever existed: it is murder.
.
That is why he brought up the ‘privacy’ argument.
He — you know, like a patriarchal leader — is telling women that when they do have an abortion, they need to keep it to themselves. Private.
Because if they do not, i.e., when they just have to celebrate and glorify it, they are confessing to murder.
Also, if they do not keep the fact that they are even pregnant private, then the partner with whom they were impregnated by, thereby has a choice, also.
Perhaps unwittingly, he has opened up the discussion for men to be more involved beyond insemination . . .
Maybe Hollywood entertainment fare may finally tone down the unrealistic depictions of personal relationships that they soak young people with ubiquitous message that you must have sex at all times and on the first date and outside of marriage and you are a loser if you don’t get laid… and that working on the 99% of the other parts of a mature relationship is a waste of time and effort. Perhaps the issue of male peer pressure in high school and college might be brought up as a negative influence. It would definitely cut down the bad consequences for both the boy and girl who have drunken sex and then end up in a college star chamber “rape” case whether it was coerced or not. Or the laissez-faire attitude by “cool” parents that it’s ok for their teens to “be safe because, ya know, condoms are 100% effective” when they know full well that the kids are not mature enough to raise kids as 10th graders… or financially secure…. or employed.
What an idiot.
I say that at least once/day!
Who’s going to tell Xiden HE’S this Joe Biden, Former Senator from Delaware who signed this?😂
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/05/flashback-1982-joe-biden-voted-constitutional-amendment-overturn-roe-v-wade-make-states-issue/
he’s trying to remember what flavor was his last pudding.
We have a right to privacy, yes, Joe. So why is the NSA, DOJ, and who knows what other organizations violating that right every day surveilling what we say online, what is said over the phone, where we go, who we visit, tracking every move we make.
States have the right to make those decisions on abortion. Period. Always has been a states’ right because the Constitution does not give that right to Congress or to the Supreme Court.
This whole Democrat regime is evil. I do not understand why they want so badly to kill babies.
I just received a “random survey” from my county commissioners but contracted for with a ‘private company’ that is about 6 pages long. They are going to use all information to improve “travel” in the county. I have to tell them where I drive, how long it takes, what kind of vehicle, if I ever ride a bike to these places etc.
There is a sheet that asks all kinds of personal information in addition to these ‘trip sheets’. I think they already know where I bank so that is not a direct question.
Privacy my ass.
exactly. dig in your heels.
search for “transportation utility” and you’ll find out why the locals are asking. It is being considered in many very small towns in Wisconsin. Create a utility that charges according to traffic to and from your property. Madness.
And my trucks are old so the only way to figure out how much I will owe is to ask.
but the states don’t, necessarily. unstated rights in the constitution are reserved to the states and the people. and the people. they count. the individual gets to decide some things. all aspects of life are not to be governed by laws. that is essential to liberty.
They need to have abortion because the Left, via Hollywood, TV, now novels, have made sex on the first date, or upon meeting, the norm. Chastity, which was the protection of women and guarantee of marriage first, is never mentioned or is a LOL idea.
It’s all part of the planned destruction of the family, the bedrock of society and the safety of children.
Close to half of the states in the U.S. are already poised to increase protections for the unborn in the event that the Supreme Court officially repeals Roe v. Wade.
Chief Justice John Roberts said the Court has ordered an investigation into the leak, which he said does “not represent a decision” or “final position” of the court. He added, however: “To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.”
If Roberts votes to protect Roe, or if any of the conservative justices change their vote, the Supreme Court is dead as a civic institution taken over by accessories to murder.
Biden talks of “rights and privacy” excluding “right to life”. Murder is ok by that estimation.
Democrats….
Always seem to be wrong about so many things—-
Slavery was Legal. And it was wrong.
Abortion is Legal. And it is wrong.

Conflation, thy name is Joe Biden.
What a load of nonsense.
All I can say is, Stupid Old Man and do not look around for sympathy when The Christ is asking to justify your life, Biden.
Tens of millions of aborted Americans were unavailable for comment.
.
But, but, what does the ‘most powerful woman’ in the free world say . . .?
QueMala?
“Left activists” are putting pressure to A) rescind the filibuster rule and B) pass legislation establishing Roe as the law of the land.”
This isn’t about abortion. Each state’s legislature can elect to keep abortion. Abortion will be available in the U.S. in the liberal states. This is about tyranny and whether the left, via the Federal government, can impose their will on everyone in the country. The Supreme Court is saying no to a dictatorship by the Federal government. That is what the screaming is about.
Sorry to disappoint but that’s not Joe.
I believe it is his brother either that or his head got 3 inches longer
The baby killer without a soul. He refuses to repent. Look into his eyes, there is nothing there, but pure evil.
So Old Joe thinks there is a Constitutional Right to murder as long it is done in private.
How does this involve gay marriage.? It does relate to birth control. One should use birth control if one does not want to have a child. Abortion should not be used as birth control.
The Lunatic Left tried put “gay marriage” on the ballot in a number of states. Even democrat strongholds like New York and California couldn’t convince enough voters it was a good idea. So . . . they went to the US Supreme Court and got it foisted on the citizens. Hopefully “gay marriage” is also headed for the SCOTUS chopping block.
Neither abortion nor gay marriage are rights actually in the Constitution. SCOTUS “saw” them lurking in the “penumbras and emanations” coming from the Constitution, but it isn’t actually written there. If returning the abortion decision to the states is the final ruling of SCOTUS, then the next thing challenged will be gay marriage. It will continue to exist in liberal states, but the Federal government won’t be able to impose it on every state in the entire country. Illinois already passed legislation to allow both abortion and gay marriage even if SCOTUS overturns their decisions.
I know that was my first question. How does Gay marriage figure in here.

The draft opinion calls into question the fundamental right to privacy — the right to make personal choices about marriage, whether to have children, and how to raise them.
These are fundamental rights for Americans — a critical part of who we are.

It’s hard for me to even listen to his mumbled up stumbling speech patterns.
Right to privacy?
You can have your right to privacy if abortion is limited to 15 weeks or the heartbeat bill also.
This would not end abortions nationwide. It would allow the people in each state to decide through their legislators what restrictions should apply.
They could, for example, reject this:
“The so-called Women’s Health Protection Act that Democrats want to pass would force states to legalize the killing of unborn babies for basically any reason up to birth even if Roe is overturned.
The bill would get rid of bans on partial-birth abortions, late-term abortions, sex-selection abortions and taxpayer-funded abortions. Laws that protect women and girls would be eliminated, too, including parental consent for minors and informed consent laws that ensure mothers receive basic facts about their unborn baby’s development before going through with an abortion.”

The Big Lie is that reversing Roe v Wade bans abortions.
legally it does in one sense….it means the federal govt cannot create a law that states must follow wrt to abortion regulations.
in terms of central state power, it is a massive shift and transfer of power BACK TO THE STATES.
It’s an effective first step that leads to bans on abortions.
without this scotus ruling, states could not make broad sweeping laws.
it is a victory.
but stay tuned…that leak was intentional to create a crisis.
prediction: someone on the supreme court is going to be handed a federal criminal indictment.
watch for it.
Flashback: In 1982 Joe Biden Voted for Constitutional Amendment to Overturn Roe v Wade and Make It a State Issue
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/05/flashback-1982-joe-biden-voted-constitutional-amendment-overturn-roe-v-wade-make-states-issue/
Just reading the transcript of President Biden’s press “gaggle” today, after reading the draft opinion by Justice Alito earlier today, left me with the distinct impression that Biden and those briefing him have had access to the “leaked” draft for a considerable period of time before the Politico article dropped last night.
I don’t even believe anymore that someone inside the SCOTUS leaked it. The freaking NSA just reached into the place and took it; probably some clone of the demented Minister of Truth who saw it during routine spying sessions, had a hairy cat fit and fell over everything in the room getting to a congresscritter and media whore.
Ends…
Means…
Some assembly required.
Sorry, but when this guy talks, it’s total gobbledygook. And I thought calculus was tough!!
with enough effort you can learn calc and solve difficult problems.
joe malarkey is the 4 body problem.
unsolvable.
don’t even try. there is nothing but irrational dotard.

Loathsome man. It is unbelievable that we are held hostage by this dope.
the closing comments by O’Biden are the most telling, and most ignored:
“there are so many fundamental rights that are affected by that. And . . . I’m not prepared to leave that to the whims . . . of the public”
The Commies don’t believe in ‘The People”–only their own lust for Power.
Never a concern for the actual crime of the leak. Imagine that.
Well, his handlers planned it . . . he ain’t outing himself.
Aztec healthcare.
Of course, Conservos recognize what the 9th Amendment said .. that the delineation of specific individual rights in the first 8 Amendments does not mean that those are the ONLY rights an individual citizen has. He still has all the general rights from British common law
What he or she didn’t have under the 9th A was the right to an abortion .. because, in English common law, prior to 1765, and abortion performed after quickening was considered to be MURDER. And there is no right to procure murder
And the reason the quickening was chosen as the magic moment when life began was that there was no ultrasound at the time. It was only when a baby moved that they could be sure it was alive
for once i agree with biden, though of course he is being disingenuous (after obama’s weaponization of the nsc data mine there is little right to privacy left).
hope he is hung with these words for his support of other anti-privacy measures.
let’s go brandon.
The same idiots who scream in favor of a woman’s right to murder a baby that she willingly conceived in her own body say that I have no right to choose which drugs, if any, to inject into my own body.
Insanity.
We can laugh and ridicule him but remember – he still has his finger on the nuclear button – or, if he does not – WHO DOES?
Wow, he how suddenly remembered ‘there is a right to privacy in the Constitution’ and ‘a woman should be able to decide’.
Yet in his rotted out mind it somehow did not apply to masks, testing, contact tracing, coerced ‘vax’ injections, digital passports, etc. Amazing….
That’s the problem when government is a religion.
Notice that the idiot recognizes that a woman is aborting A CHILD! Is that not murder then? Isn’t that the worst act that a mother kills her own child?\
This is why the slippery slope is advancing infanticide now. This is worse than the Romans and Greeks. You know why? Because they did not know Christ. But supposedly we do, somehow after 2000 years….
Abortion is a moral issue. It became political when government thought it should enter the bedroom. The gov people accused the Church for doing that. Typical projection while they intended to do that for the next century.
Let us see-why is abortion “sacred”? What is usually sacred? Are we dealing with religion? I’d say yes. These people are satanic imo and they need human sacrifice for their existence.
Once their altar has no sacrifice, it’ll collapse.
I am utterly disgusted by this government. I abhor their presence. It is evil incarnate when we talk about the rather purposeful and convenient “leak” to cover even more evil, both the murder of the innocents and election fraud.
let us pray.
Abortion is no problem for these folks,just don’t mess with sea turtle or eagle eggs before they’re born ,you can get into real trouble…
“To choose to abort a child”. Thank you for finally being honest, Mr. President, and not referring to the baby as a clump of cell tissue …
The commander and chief vegetable was in on it…his response wa clearly planned. This tells us they will never identify the leaker, because the WH is in on the scam.
The medical trades use a sonogram to see it is indeed a human baby.
They use a heart monitor to assure the baby is dead before extraction.
Just follow the science, Joe.
