On this day 53 years ago-Jan. 22, 1973-the Supreme Court ruled in the Roe v. Wade case, establishing a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion.
That right existed until the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org. case.

I know these “interviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to “read the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do when—as is so often the case these days—there’s no opinion to read…

Yikes. I hadn't seen this video yet, only read about it. It's legitimately the two of them laughing on the most watched cable TV news channel as Homan directly calls out the "agreement" they came to, even as the DOJ is inisting there's no agreement.

Tom Homan basically admits to a quid pro quo for dropping the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for enforcing Donald Trump's mass deportation plan.
