Clueless Democrats Ignore Insight of Stephen Macedo

Stephen Macedo. The New Right v. the Constitution
(Washington: Cato Institute, 1987)

"When conservatives like [Robert] Bork treat rights as islands surrounded by a sea of government powers, they precisely reverse the view of the Founders as enshrined in the Constitution, wherein government powers are limited and specified and rendered as islands surrounded by a sea of individual rights."
- Stephen Macedo. The New Right v. the Constitution (Washington: Cato Institute, 1987)

Bork and his tyrannical vision were defeated in the U.S. Senate in 1987.

But Bork won at the Court this term, as Democrats floundered and drowned in identity politics and incompetence.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden seems oblivious on how to proceed.

Asked this morning if codifying Roe or abolishing the filibuster to help protect women's reproductive choice are the offing, Biden replied, "I am not prepared to make those judgements now."

America Entrusted Roe to Democrats; Party and Identity Politics Pissed Choice Away

Democrats Are Incompetent

Update: Biden says, "I am not prepared to make those judgements now," on codifying Roe or abolishing filibuster to help protect women's reproductive choice.
Actually, now would be a good time to make those "judgements."

Chants of "Do something, Democrats," rang out in D.C. last night, Reuters reports.

Wrong party. Democrats don't do things.

The chants for action took place at a demonstration outside the U.S. Supreme Court following the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion eviscerating Roe v. Wade, (Politico) in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, designed by activists to overturn Roe.

Following oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization in Dec 2021, Democrat senators vowed that they may be open to considering and looking at the issue of not doing "nothing."

Seriously, that was the Democrat reaction last year.

As millions of women stand to lose their right to choose, that's the best congressional Democrats and Pres Biden could do, as reported by the Washington Post last Dec, four months ago.

Here's a quote from a leading Democrat senator exemplifying Democrat floundering on the proposed effort to expand the number of Court justices: "I’m not ready to say we need to change the number of justices," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) said. "[W]e need to take a look at how the court functions."

Morons.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg refused to resign after being diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in 2013, to Democrat cheers. Way to live female empowerment, Ginsberg, a critic of Roe, who seven years later bequeathed her seat to a lifelong foe of reproductive choice.

Hillary Clinton and corporatist Democrats rigged the 2016 Democrat precedential primary. Female empowerment, right? Trump nominated three Court justices, the margin Supreme Court politicians needed to reverse Roe.

If you believe the loss of reproductive choice will goad Democrats into action to safeguard reproductive rights, you are deranged.

I don’t want to hear one Democrat whine or fundraise or talk about how the Republicans are big bad meanies today. I want to hear how they’re going to use their power to codify and protect reproductive rights. I don’t want their sympathy; I want their battle plans.

Democrats' Indescribably Obtuse, Do-nothing Reaction to Death of Women's Choice

As women lose their right to choose, the best congressional Democrats and Pres Biden can do, as reported by their leading cheerleader, is offer statements that they may be open to considering and looking at the issue but not doing anything. 

Democrats didn't say they are not going to do nothing; they said not doing nothing should be looked at. Confusing?

Read the Washington Post piece by Seung Min Kim, "More Democratic senators are willing to weigh changes to Supreme Court."

Following oral arguments on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) says: "And so the question becomes, well, what do we do about [this partisan court]? I’m not sure. But I don’t think the answer is nothing." 

The not-nothing party is on the job now with its collective vow to consider not doing nothing, now that Roe will soon be gone.

Here's another quote from a different leading Democrat light: "I’m not ready to say we need to change the number of justices," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) said. "[W]e need to take a look at how the court functions."

Here's another one: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.): "What happened yesterday forces all of us to rethink our views about the makeup of the court."

So, we have not doing nothing, looking at, and rethinking.

Why do Democrats talk this way? But it's not just talk.

Here's a hypothesis about the Democrat Party that can be tested by looking at the last time this collection of fit-to-be-strangled yahoos ran the federal government: Democrats don't really care about much beyond their self-aggrandizement, donor money and their personal piece of the pie.

Social media!, and not the corporate press, points out: Democrats did not even consider codifying Roe when they had unitary, super-majority control of government in 2009-2011.

Two years ago, in 2019, when Democrats appeared primed to take over Congress and the presidency, there was a buzz about coalescing, pledging and considering safeguarding women's choice.

How did that work out?

Someone asks me what to do about the corrupt judiciary and individual liberty, I say: Get rid of the corrupt bunch of yahoos on the Court, Congress and the Democrat-Republican parties.

Some free public relations advice: Discussion of the proposition that a woman is not entitled to autonomy of her body is to a sacrifice one's humanity.

It's a women's choice, end of fucking story.
