I regret to inform you on this otherwise glorious Sunday morning that “democracy” is once again in danger. That’s the word from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who appeared on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” with Chuck Todd to deliver multiple hot takes on the landmark Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe V. Wade.
You still have doubts about the intellectual incompetence of the New York congresswoman.

I love that line so much, mainly because it’s just a masterpiece of absurdity. While you may get some stupid arguments from politicians quite often, the sheer ignorance displayed here is simply mind-boggling. And to be sure, I call it ignorance because I don’t think AOC is secretly a geniusAnd is just choosing to lie. I truly believe she’s as stupid as she appears.
But let’s game this out for giggles. According to AOC, the Supreme Court “overreached” (the word should be “overstepped”) its authority by reversing the hideously reasoned precedents of Roe and CaseyThe power to elect the voters would be handed back. However, there are two problems. One, the idea that it is outside the court’s domain to reverse its own prior, unconstitutional power play is nonsensical. How could it be that the court is exceeding its authority? not decidingAn issue that voters should be concerned about, but rather empower them.
However, we’re just starting. AOC continued by asserting that the decision “will kill people.”

This mental giant will discover what an abortion is. If she’s not sure, I’ll go ahead and spoil it for her: An abortion Kills a child.
But, AOC does things that are very common among the left. They try to justify the barbaric procedure by pointing out that 99 percent of elective abortions are legal up until birth. Here’s the thing, though. In the event of an ectopic baby, not one state prohibits the use of medical interventions to save the mother’s life. It’s a non-issue, and that AOC and the like bring it up shows how untenable their actual position is.
A weak argument is one that relies on an exception to the rule. Democrats focus on the exceptions to abortion because they know how awful coming out and saying, “I want to kill babies for any reason” sounds to normal people. That’s one of the reasons they are so furious about this ruling. It means that Democrats must now defend their position by bringing abortion back to voters. They can’t hide behind the “it’s a constitutional right” facade anymore, and that means the horrors of what they support will be laid bare.
Moving past that, AOC finally suggested that Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch should be impeached for “lying” to Congress about their position on Roe.

What’s worse? AOC’s answer or the fact that Chuck Todd, who should know better, asked this question in the first place? During confirmation hearings Kavanaugh and Gorsuch did not lie to Congress. In no instance did any of the men suggest otherwise. Roe V. WadeThey did not believe it was possible to touch or they would vote against its overturning. They instead stated that they understood the importance and weight of precedent. They did not say that they understood the importance of precedent. However, bad precedent can be overturned if it’s properly and rigorously tested. Ferguson vs. Plessy. It is absurd to say that the precedent can be rewritten.
In the end, what AOC is doing isn’t based on logic. She doesn’t make sense of or follow through with anything she says. Simply put, She just loves abortion. That’s what this all comes down to. It’s not about the law, it’s not about rights, and it’s not about any actual concern for the wellbeing of women. Democrats are against abortion so the court should have confirmed a nonexistent right to murder a child.
The current court is thankfully different from the one that gave its verdict. Roe, decided that wasn’t enough.
