Friday saw the US Supreme Court correct a 50 year-old wrong and declare the terrible, paganistic travesties committed by the Roe CaseyAll decisions are null and unenforceable. Fast a quarter of a million American infants have been killed each year for the past half century. It is impossible to calculate the harm done by abortion, including lost lives and lives ruined, as well as the general loss of respect for motherhood and life in our society.
Today’s attention is largely on reactions to that decision. However, I believe it is fitting to stop for a second and give credit to Mitch McConnell who made all this possible.
Mitch McConnell was the man who stood as Horatius on the bridge and prevented a hyperpartisan Merrick Garland securing a participation trophy during the Obama-Biden administration’s fading days. And by “fading,” I mean the last ten months.
Lest you think I’m on the verge of opening a chapter of the Mitch McConnell Fan Club, I’m not. Let me explain my logic.
Chief Justice John Roberts joined the majority in voting to eliminate Roe Casey. didn’t write the opinion. That he didn’t write the opinion on a decision of this historic magnitude tells you all you need to know about where he stood on the issue. If you need more evidence, take a look at Roberts’ concurring decision. If he didn’t tell you it was a concurrence, you’d swear it was a dissent.

Roberts repeatedly stated that while he opposed Roe and Casey being overturned, he supported moving the abortion line to 15 weeks. Why? The logic starts to get murky at this point. Roberts claims that if he truly believes the Roe trimester Rubric is unjust, it would be more bad law. This decision, which allowed a 15-week ban, was a way to keep abortion alive and a game of judicial football.
Roberts, a five-to-four vote that would have kept abortion legal if Garland had been elected justice, would have made a decision to confirm Garland as a justice.
I give President Trump maximum credit for his picks and acknowledge that if we’d been cursed with a President Hillary! This would have never happened. But I don’t think that even judges picked by President Trump could have pulled this off if McConnell had not held firm and refused to put a partisan leftist on the Supreme Court bench.
