Reporting from The Hill, “Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) declared ‘the hell with the Supreme Court’ after its justices ruled on Friday to eliminate federal-level abortion protections, overturning a 50-year precedent. ‘This turnout here?’ asked Waters, who stood near fencing that was installed in front of the high court. ‘You ain’t seen nothing yet. Women are going to control their bodies no matter how they try and stop [us]. The hell with the Supreme Court. We will defy them.’”
Preach! Although, I don’t think her meaning of “the hell with the Supreme Court” is as defiant as one would like her intention to be. As I’ve posted before, blue states should simply stop listening to SCOTUS opinions that they disagree with, for as the Court itself recognized, decisions related to people’s rights should be remanded back to the hands of those politicians closest to the voter. For sure! So, if those closest to politicians (i.e., voters and citizens in blue states) disagree with the ruling of SCOTUS, then politicians in those states should ignore the Court. Full stop!
