Gide, humans. What a week in the United States at least. This is raising all kinds of questions about human rights, women's rights, women's right to choose, obviously. I'm getting a lot of questions on social media about what I think about the leaked document from the Supreme Court.

That alone is unprecedented, the idea that a draft decision would be leaked to the press, to Politico.

And I'm sure there will be all the necessary hunting down of whether or not that came from liberals inside the court,

whether it may have come from a justice or a clerk,

whether it could have come from the conservative side of the court,

trying to make this decision a fait accompli.

If you're not across it, basically, the constitutional decision,

the Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade,

that has ensured a woman's right to have an abortion for decades.

It seems is about to be overturned. I don't know whether or not there's, that's a, that's a done deal yet.

I'm not a, you know, I have no special insight into the workings of the court and whether or not they could consider to wind it back.

But this draft decision written by Samuel Alito certainly seems to be the writing on the wall for a conservative Christian, really, goal of the past half century to come to fruition this year.

And this will be probably the biggest legacy

of the Trump administration, of Trump's first term, shall we say, in case he has another. I haven't

wanted to talk about this on the air on my radio show. It's not really the place for it. But I do

want to share a few thoughts here. So instead of releasing our scheduled episode, which is with the extraordinary individual,

Kurt Fernley, who you'll hear from next week, I thought we should just try to unwrap some of this

and hopefully help you to think about it.

I have long publicly held that courts are too overweighted in American democracy

and that it's foolhardy to entrench rights too much in the justice system rather than

in the legislative branch, which I think is where we in a democracy should come to decisions about big issues

like abortion.
