Lindsey Graham issues statement on Roe v Wade after SCOTUS draft leak

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham issued a statement Tuesday morning on the U.S. Supreme Court. The statement comes after a SCOTUS draft for a decision overturning Roe v Wade was leaked Monday evening.

Graham’s full statement:

“It is a sad day for the Supreme Court and a dangerous day for the Rule of Law.

“The radical assault on our institutions and the Constitution itself has reached a new level with the release of a draft opinion on a major issue facing the Court. Whether you are a liberal, conservative or moderate, the integrity of the Court has been compromised by this outrageous act – an affront to the Rule of Law.

“For over two hundred years, the Supreme Court has been able to deliberate and build consensus without its decisions being compromised in this manner. This has been forever changed by this leak.

In the Robert's Court, process was dispensed with for political gain by hard-right conservatives. They have deteriorated what we knew of the Supreme Court as the last word on the law, because we know their decisions are tainted.

And as for the leaked document, I'll give you the reason that should make sense to them: The conservative Supreme Court is so radical and extreme, that they forced someone's hand. They made him or her do it.

Screw you Lindsey. I'm sorry you're bent out of shape over this leak but it's telling that you're more upset over this "leak" than you were on Jan 6th when you were drunkenly denouncing your buddy trump on the Senate floor.

'I did this'

Good for coffins, inner thighs of women being forced to birth unwanted children and the foreheads of orphans dropped off in 'safe spaces'.

Is that too raw? I'm sick of this piece of shit.

Be outraged about the leak! Smile about the overturned human rights of women. Same old crap from these worthless hypocrites. Wish they'd all just fuck off and die a horrible death.

The US Supreme Court has been compromised. Not by the leak, but by the lying, radical right wing hacks that have been appointed to the court. They are not guided by the constitution, nor the rule of law.
