Midterm Madness: The Game Plan · Crooked Media

We're just 6 months away from the 2022 midterms, and a lot's at stake this year, from the Senate to the school board to our democracy itself. With so much going on, it can be hard to know what to pay...

It will be sad, indeed, if America gets hung up on the leak of a draft SCt opinion, esp. who leaked it and why, but loses sight of what that opinion -- if comes out that way -- really will mean about SCt's role, the Constitution, and the concept of liberty in the US.

seeing and hearing a Senator physically shaking with fury is honestly the first time since last night that I've felt like someone with power fully gets it.

THIS is the energy every single Democrat should be bringing to the fight to protect Roe. End the filibuster. Codify Roe.

With respect to women's political power, here's a finding from a 2015 paper of mine (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf). When women and men disagree about an issue, greater female support for a policy change makes it *less* likely the change will occur.

This Supreme Court often refers to previous decisions. But

@LeahLitman

says, "SCOTUS has never overruled a previous decision that recognized a right that is so fundamental to so many people's participation in equal society."

BREAKING: Roberts confirms authenticity of draft Dobbs opinion, says it doesn't represent anyone's final position. He has directed Supreme Court marshal to investigate. "The work of the Court will not be affected in any way."

This morning I find myself going back to the moment I found most chilling in the Dobbs argument. B/c there’s more driving Alito. Justice Alito: “The fetus has an interest in having a life….& that doesn’t change from…before viability to after.” supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…

Today I’m filing a lawsuit to keep abortion legal in Michigan. With SCOTUS’ willingness to overturn Roe v Wade, I'm using my authority as governor to go directly to Michigan's Supreme Court to urge them to decide if abortion is constitutional. It’s bold but necessary. Here's why:

Alito's draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage). He says that, like abortion, these decisions protect phony rights that are not "deeply rooted in history." politico.com/f/?id=00000180

But that's cold comfort. Prosecutorial discretion only goes so far; it's dependent on the person & location. Michigan's 1931 law criminalizing abortion must be wiped off the books. There's a ballot initiative that would do that. Volunteer/donate here: mireproductivefreedom.org /3
