Tucker questions why the left is so upset that Justice Alito released an opinion suggesting that they should have the right to vote for abortion at the state level. Highlights include:
“Everybody in America is for democracy. Democracy is the basis for our political system.”
“Both parties support democracy, strongly, they often say so. And, of course, the alternative to democracy is bad, it’s tyranny, and nobody’s for that.”
“So, it’s heartening to learn that preserving democracy is the main idea, really the only idea behind Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion on the Roe v Wade decision.”
“Virtually everyone in the country has heard about Alito’s 98-page opinion since it was leaked on Monday night to Politico. And yet, at the same time, for all the talking about it, almost nobody seems to have any idea what is in it. Nobody’s actually read it. Partisans on television keep describing Sam Alito as a hater, somebody who just hates women and hates rights, a sadist whose only pleasure is extinguishing human freedom and happiness, both of which, of course, are predicated on abortion.”
“We can tell you, having actually read his opinion, that there is no hint of any of this in what he has written. Samuel Alito merely argues that Americans have the right to vote on how abortion is regulated.”
“The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey abrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”
“The Constitution does not, in fact, prohibit American voters from banning abortion, or for that matter, does not prohibit American voters from legalizing abortion, because the US Constitution doesn’t mention abortion or allude to it in any way, and anyone who claims that it does, as the Roe decision claims, is lying to you.”
“So, why exactly is everybody so mad at Samuel Alito? It’s strange because what Alito is proposing here is the very definition of democracy. We’ve got a bitter disagreement, in this case over abortion. Both sides have a case to make. They can take that case to the public. In the end the public gets to decide who’s right by voting on it. That’s called self-government. Since when is that scary?”
“Well, since one side decided that self-government is too risky and had to be eliminated.”
“’This MAGA crowd, which is to say the tens of millions of people who voted for Donald Trump, is really the most extreme political organization that has existed in history … which is to say, worse than Hitler, worse than Stalin, worse than Mao.'”
“It’s hard to believe he’s talking about tens of millions of American citizens, but he [Biden] is, and you should know that no American president ever has talked about his own people like this or even considered talking about his own people like this. It is shocking that any president would, and he just did.”
