MSNBC legal analyst Dahlia Lithwick thinks the media got it wrong
yesterday. She doesn't think the Supreme Court sounded skeptical about
attempts to ban the abortion pill.
She told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace what she heard was the conservative
justices saying, "Come back when Donald Trump is elected and the Comstock
Act becomes the law of land." That's the 1873 law Justices Clarence Thomas
and Samuel Alito brought up repeatedly, suggesting a Republican president
could use it to ban the abortion pill nationwide – without Congress even
getting a vote.
That squares with Elizabeth Warren's warning yesterday that, "This is
about Donald Trump and Republican politicians marching us toward a full-on
nationwide abortion ban."
John, we cannot afford to take any more hits on the Supreme
Court. We MUST protect the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate in 2024.

Democratic hands no matter who wins the presidential election?
This Supreme Court is increasingly facing a legitimacy crisis – at a time
when our nation can least afford it.
There are five Senate races Democrats must win to stop the Supreme Court
from tilting even further toward fascism if Trump wins – and to making
sure President Biden can confirm new justices if he is re-elected and the
opportunity arises:
Ruben Gallego (Arizona) must defeat extremist Kari Lake to win this seat
for Democrats.
Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), and Jon Tester (Montana)
ALL must win re-election in states that now range from purple to red.
Lucas Kunce (Missouri) is our best shot to EXPAND our Senate map --
winning back a seat from Republican Josh Hawley that Democrats held just 6
years ago.
