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.
Grahams 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.

(51,184 posts)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.

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.

(1,783 posts)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.

Whenever someone brings up the dirt they have on him.
