Well, this is the biggest breaking news morning in, I don't know, about half a century in terms of the legal sphere. Because last night, Politico broke a story. And the story is stunning for two

1:40.7

reasons. One, the content of what the Supreme Court is apparently ready to do.

1:48.6

And two, the fact that it was leaked. We'll start with the second story first. So last night,

1:53.9

Politico reported that a draft decision by Justice Samuel Alito that had achieved a majority of Supreme Court support, apparently five votes in favor, was to basically overrule Rule

1:59.9

versus Wade, not basically, entirely overrule Role

2:01.9

versus Wade, entirely overrule Planned Parenthood v. Casey and return the issue of abortion

2:05.8

to the state legislatures, whereas where it originally resided. And the fact is that the

2:10.6

Constitution of the United States has nothing to say about abortion, which means that states

2:51.7

a bunch of non-elected judges decided that they were going to decide the issue for all of America. And they put in place this ridiculous viability standard that had nothing to do with reality. And then fast forward to plan parenthood versus Casey. And they put in place this undue burden standard, which again had nothing to do with the text of the constitution or anything to do with the nation's history or biology or anything.

2:54.8

So, last night, Politico leaks that this decision by Samuel Alito has a majority support and is going to strike down Roe versus White.

2:59.5

The leak is an unbelievable breach of every ethic the Supreme Court has ever held on to.

3:04.8

It's insane. I mean, it's a crazy, crazy thing. Here's what Politico wrote.
