Mitch McConnell is openly lauding Associate Justice Clarence Thomas's 'jurisprudence on unborn life.'
Clarence’s take is not an interesting one from someone who is supposed to be one of the smartest justices on the high court. You can get that opinion from literally anyone using their one precious life to protest a Planned Parenthood clinicInstead, Thomas is a partisan actor whose reactionary conservatism is now the politics of the majority of the Court. And for 30 years, he has used his bully pulpit to rail against the right to control people’s own medical decisions.
, Thomas became angry at the fact that pro-abortion-rights legal precedents even exist. He wrote: “Our abortion precedents are grievously wrong and should be overruled.”was decided under false pretenses in a court without jurisdiction. Thomas wrote later in hisdissent: “But today’s decision is wrong for a far simpler reason: The Constitution does not constrain the States’ ability to regulate or even prohibit abortion.
His belief boils down to a state-first approach to abortion, with the federal government and judiciary washing its hands of the procedure. It’s not the world we live in, but it is the world he’s spent the last 30 years attempting to create.Maybe his influence is catching up with him. The Supreme Court’s approval rating is only going down among Americans, with a sharp dip after the court declined to stop Texas’s 6-week abortion ban from going into effect.
And that’s just the court’s approval ratings. A majority of Americans disapprove of the Supreme Court’s work. The last time disapproval rates were that high was in 2016 at 52 percent, according to Gallup. In other words, six conservative life-appointed justices are making massive decisions with which the majority of Americans disagree.
