Liberals slam late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for not retiring
The commenters are right. Conservatives THANK Ginsburg for the same reason. Despite her great age and failing health, she hung on and hung on to her job in the certain belief that the next president would be Hillary. But she got Trump instead. She gambled and lost. She was actually a victim of Leftist hubris and their certainty that they were right
Some liberals are blaming the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg after the court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case that federally protected a woman’s right to an abortion in the United States on Friday.
Ginsburg notoriously decided to not retire during the Obama administration when she could have been replaced with a liberal justice, only to die at the age of 87 in September 2020 during the Trump administration.
She was replaced by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was one of three conservative justices appointed by former President Donald Trump — all three of whom were among the six justices who voted in favour of overturning the half-century-old decision.
If she had retired and been replaced by a liberal justice, the decision to overturn Roe would likely still have passed in a 5-4 vote.
Although Ginsburg was a staunch advocate for women’s constitutional right to an abortion, she was critical of how Roe v. Wade established that right.
Outraged, many liberals took to social media to point their fingers at her for Friday’s decision.
“RBG was a hero for many reasons. But the terrible irony is that her decision to stay too long at the party helped lead to the destruction of one of the things she cared about the most,” Hollywood Reporter columnist Scott Feinberg tweeted.

Tucker Carlson brands original Roe v Wade decision 'poison' that 'degraded the legitimacy of Supreme Court'
Tucker Carlson hailed the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v Wade on Friday as a win for Americans and an end to a 'political document' that was 'poison.'
The Fox News host said the landmark 1973 case that secured women's federal right to abortions should have never gone through as it undermined the high court and was merely 'political.'
'Roe was a political document,' Carlson said. 'It was not a legal opinion.
'And for that reason, it degraded and undermined the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, one of our country's central institutions. It was poison.'
He also condemned the protests going on in the Capitol and around the country following the ruling as states scrambled to pass abortion restrictions or expand abortion rights for residents.
Carlson said he was confused by the pro-choice protestors, arguing that the Supreme Court's decision was simply democracy at play.
'This particular ruling dramatically reduces the power of unelected judges to dictate the details of the lives of millions of Americans and returns that power to voters,' Carlson said. 'Voters get to decide how they want to live.
'That's an extreme ideology that upsets the balance of power somehow? We thought that was the whole premise of our system. We thought that was democracy.'
He continued to scoff at the protesters and said that if they didn't like the ruling, they should simply vote for representatives that would pass pro-abortion laws.
The Fox host also drew parallels between the outrage from the abortion ruling to that of the deadly January 6 Capitol riots, mocking liberals who claimed democracy was in danger who are now condeming one of the three branches of government.
'The very people who have been lecturing us for years about democracy – 'It's the end of democracy' – are horrified by the return of democracy,' Carlson said.
'They're telling us the legitimacy of our institutions is at risk. And yet they cannot allow voters to have a say in how they live.'
He specifically called our U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, of California, who called on Americans to defy the Supreme Court and fight the ruling.
'Women are going to control their bodies no matter how they try and stop us,' Waters said as she joined protesters outside the Supreme Court. The hell with the Supreme Court.
'We will defy them. Women will be in control of their bodies. And if they think Black women are intimidated or afraid, they got another thought coming.'
Republican-appointed justices – Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett voted with Samuel Alito to end women's federal right to abortions.
Abortion was automatically outlawed in 18 US states as soon as Roe v. Wade was overturned, thanks to specially-devised 'trigger laws' and historic bans that were automatically reenacted after Friday's ruling.
Thirteen states prepared trigger laws which would automatically outlaw terminations in the event of a ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, which was widely-anticipated.
They are: Arkansas; Idaho; Kentucky; Louisiana; Mississippi; Missouri; North Dakota; Oklahoma; South Dakota; Tennessee; Texas; Utah and Wyoming.
Abortion bans in those states will now become law within 30 days.
Five other states have also now banned terminations, after historic laws superseded by the 1973 Roe ruling automatically came back into place. Among those five are two Democrat-governed states - Michigan and Wisconsin.
Eight other states are also set to enact new anti-abortion laws. Georgia, Iowa and South Carolina all attempted to ban abortion after the six week mark.
Those laws were branded unconstitutional, but will likely be revisited now Roe has ended. And Florida, Indiana, Montana as well as Nebraska are all working on plans to ban or restrict terminations.

Destruction and Vandalism by Pro-Abortion Extremists Sweeps America
Shadowy pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge has orchestrated a nationwide campaign of destruction and vandalism against pro-life groups for which police have yet to make an arrest.
The group’s attacks began on May 8 in Madison, Wisconsin, where Jane’s Revenge members torched the headquarters of pro-life group Wisconsin Family Action.
“They had Molotov cocktails. They threw one against the window, and the window didn’t break. So then they broke a window and threw a Molotov cocktail into my office,” said Julaine Appling, Wisconsin Family Action’s president.
When the Molotov didn’t destroy the office enough, the attackers started a fire in Appling’s office using her books.
“The thing that I am missing the most is all the books they burned,” Appling said. “Some of those might at this point be irreplaceable.”
The same day, Jane’s Revenge announced its existence, claimed responsibility for the attack, and promised more nationwide.
“We are forced to adopt the minimum military requirement for a political struggle,” its anonymous writer said in an online manifesto.
Since then, attacks on pro-life organizations have only escalated. As of today, at least 28 pro-life groups from Anchorage, Alaska to Hollywood, Florida have been attacked.
The attacks were prompted by the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, a decades-old decision that prohibited states from imposing restrictions on abortion.
Who Is Jane’s Revenge?
The attack on Wisconsin Family Action’s office was the first one claimed by Jane’s Revenge.
The only public channel of communication from Jane’s Revenge is a page on NoBlogs, an anarchist blogging site.
In its first post on Sunday, May 8, the group announced a “declaration of war” against pro-life groups. It demanded the disbandment of all American pro-life groups in the next 30 days.
“As you continue to bomb clinics and assassinate doctors with impunity, so too shall we adopt increasingly extreme tactics to maintain freedom over our own bodies,” the group wrote.
This “First Communiqué” also announced that Jane’s Revenge had “not one group, but many” in “every city.”
A second manifesto on May 30 called for a “Night of Rage” on the night the Supreme Court releases the Dobbs v. Jackson verdict. It asked for “courageous hearts to come out after dark.”
It also claimed that Jane’s Revenge had a “few hundred people” but needed more members.
It’s unclear whether Jane’s Revenge has a centralized leadership, cells across the country, or is simply a slogan that unconnected pro-abortion radicals use when attacking pro-life clinics. The group’s true size is also unclear.
Many attacks against pro-life groups nationwide have used graffiti tags connected to Jane’s Revenge.
Jane’s Revenge attacks tend to have cursive graffiti reading, “Jane Was Here,” “Jane’s Revenge,” anarchist symbols, the number “1312,” or some version of the phrase “If abortions aren’t safe then neither are you.”
Federal and local police have yet to arrest anyone for attacking a pro-life clinic since the first attack on May 8.
Attackers on the Loose
The Epoch Times has interviewed seven of the 28 pro-life organizations attacked since the Dobbs v. Jackson leak. Several attacked organizations refused to be interviewed because they feared a higher profile would bring more attacks.
But all organizations that spoke with the Epoch Times said they wouldn’t quit because of the attacks.
“We’re not going to go away. We’re not going to be quiet. We are going to continue to be bold and strong. Because we are on the right side of this issue,” Appling with Wisconsin Family Action said.
The vast majority of groups contacted by the Epoch Times said they had video of their attackers and were working with the police. Several clinics that received threats from Jane’s Revenge have also passed on information to the FBI.
In Long Beach, California, a woman entered His Nesting Place, a church and maternity care home, according to senior pastor Al Howard. The woman screamed obscenities, tore up a Bible, and threw a vase belonging to the church.
While congregants moved her out of the church, the woman attempted to open her backpack, Howard said. “It dawned on us later that she possibly might have had a weapon,” he said.
Both security and phone cameras caught the attack, Howard said. While she was in the church, the attacker said she was local. Later, she shouted and threatened outside the church again. But police still haven’t caught her, he said.
“She said, ‘I’m not finished with you. I’ll be back and I’m going to burn this place to the ground and all of you in it,’” Howard said.
Police didn’t set up a guard on the church while the attacker remained at large, he said.
Compass Care Pregnancy Services in Buffalo, New York suffered the worst attack so far from Jane’s Revenge, according to its director Jim Harden.
The attacker threw Molotovs at the clinic, resulting in “catastrophic” fire damage, Harden said.
The damage will require a full rebuild, he said. But due to the high number of donations the clinic has received, he plans to make a new and expanded building.
“Let’s not only rebuild, let’s build it bigger,” Harden said.
Police and the FBI have told Harden that they have leads on multiple perpetrators, but have yet to arrest a suspect, he said.
“Government failure to act is conspicuous,” Harden said. “Their job is to protect all citizens equally, not just the ones that agree with them.”

The newest Dark age
A dark age is not so much an age in which the level of technology degenerates as one in which the level of civilization degenerates. We are walking into the newest dark age with eyes open.
No barbarians are sacking our cities (we only praise urban riots). Nobody is burning the great libraries (we are only banning books). Nobody is tearing down churches (we just close them in the name of public hygiene).
Nobody is liquidating teachers or closing schools (the teachers themselves are destroying them). Nobody is seizing the universities to force them to stop teaching great literature (universities are doing that to themselves). Nobody is enforcing an official religion (you can hold any view of God you wish, so long as you agree that He couldn’t possibly matter to anything).
Nobody is forbidding teaching students to read (they just don’t, and we don’t expect them to). Nobody is forbidding teaching students to do arithmetic (except now they use calculators, and wrong answers are affirmed for the sake of self-esteem). We do know lots of facts (we are merely contemptuous of understanding).
We aren’t ignorant of basic right and wrong (we just pretend to be). No one has abolished the administration of justice (it has only been perverted for political ends). No one has prohibited elections (we have only manipulated the polls). We don’t so far practice much assassination (except career and character assassination).
Persons with disabilities are encouraged to seek help (and to consider themselves disabled even if they aren’t). In fact we help people a lot (especially in ways that infantilize them and make them permanently dependent). We no longer approve of victimizing people (we just encourage them to make permanent victims of themselves).
No one is tearing apart families (we break up our homes on our own). No one so far is taking children away from fit parents (parents merely hand them over to be raised by social media). We no longer allow the young to cheer the spilling of blood in the arena (instead we let them spill it themselves in virtual entertainments).
No one has prohibited the free press (journalists has chosen spin over honest reportage entirely on their own). We no longer approve of police brutality (in fact we no longer approve of police). We no longer have illegal drugs (they are all becoming legal).
We no longer prohibit the publication of filth (we only condemn calling it filth). We don’t say that debasement is wholesome (we merely make pop heroes of debased persons). We no longer have prostitution (those ladies are all sex workers now).
We no longer practice compulsory racial segregation, which is degrading (instead we applaud voluntary racial segregation, which is affirming). We no longer approve of racial discrimination (except against Asians and white males). No babies are born into slavery (we just kill them before they are born).
Women can pursue any jobs or professions they want (so long as they put motherhood in second place). In fact, biological women are now entirely equal (since as we now know, there are no biological women).
Yes, we are bringing this on ourselves. We will get exactly what we want. We may not be pleased when we have it.
