"JUSTICE GINSBURG: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me.
[Harris v. McRae - in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn't really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case"

#AdvocacyUSBrookingsInstitutionThomasMann and #AdvocacyUSTheAmericanEnterpriseInstituteNormanOrnstein "The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. ...
What happened? Of course, there were larger forces at work beyond the realignment of the South. They included the mobilization of social conservatives after the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, the anti-tax movement launched in 1978 by California's Proposition 13, the rise of conservative talk radio after a congressional pay raise in 1989, and the emergence of Fox News and right-wing blogs. But the real move to the bedrock right starts with two names: Newt Gingrich and Grover Norquist.
From the day he entered Congress in 1979, Gingrich had a strategy to create a Republican majority in the House: convincing voters that the institution was so corrupt that anyone would be better than the incumbents, especially those in the Democratic majority. It took him 16 years, but by bringing ethics charges against Democratic leaders; provoking them into overreactions that enraged Republicans and united them to vote against Democratic initiatives; exploiting scandals to create even more public disgust with politicians; and then recruiting GOP candidates around the country to run against Washington, Democrats and Congress, Gingrich accomplished his goal. ...
The GOP's evolution has become too much for some longtime Republicans. Former senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska called his party 'irresponsible' in an interview with the Financial Times in August, at the height of the debt-ceiling battle. 'I think the Republican Party is captive to political movements that are very ideological, that are very narrow,' he said. 'I've never seen so much intolerance as I see today in American politics.'
And Mike Lofgren, a veteran Republican congressional staffer, wrote an anguished diatribe last year about why he was ending his career on the Hill after nearly three decades. 'The Republican Party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological authoritarian parties of 20th century Europe,' he wrote on the Truthout Web site.
Shortly before Rep. West went off the rails with his accusations of communism in the Democratic Party, political scientists Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal, who have long tracked historical trends in political polarization, said their studies of congressional votes found that Republicans are now more conservative than they have been in more than a century. Their data show a dramatic uptick in polarization, mostly caused by the sharp rightward move of the GOP."

Addendum: #WebsiteHuffPostLeeMoran "Longtime political scientist Norman Ornstein on Wednesday explained why he believes the 2024 election is likely to go down as 'the most significant and most destructive' in America's history.
The United States has previously chosen 'bad' and 'incompetent' presidents, Ornstein acknowledged to Zeteo's Mehdi Hasan.
But, reflecting on Donald Trump's victory, Ornstein pointed out that 'we have not elected a president who has made clear during the campaign that he will be a dictator on day one and will destroy or shred the Constitution to whatever degree he feels it is necessary.'
'Even worse,' continued the emeritus scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank, are Trump's 'enablers around him from the Supreme Court through the other institutions.'
'My fear is not just Donald Trump, it is that the guardrails we have built up over two and a half centuries are not going to hold,' he added.
Later, Ornstein expressed his concerns that normal restraints on Trump just don't exist. 'Maybe the worst won't happen, but it's going to be damn close,' he warned." https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/norman-ornstein-2024-election-donald-trump-win_n_672c87e5e4b01cfbdad3d9b4 #IRLJournalistMehdiHasan #VlogZeteo

"and pregnant people in particular are in more danger"
Context: #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyAlexandriaOcasioCortezAOC [04:39:03] "Thank you for yielding your time. I believe we are here today, today is a very heavy day for so many of us across the country. Every single has woken up today with less rights and pregnant people in particular are in more danger in the united states today than we were yesterday as a result of the supreme court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. I think what we are experiencing here, it's important to tell the truth of what's going on. And with so many individuals out here, I think it's important to tackle this myth that this is somehow about babies or children or life. Because the same individuals who purport, claim to be protecting life fight against universal health care. Do they believe in universal child care? Do they believe in life after birth? From their policy positions, I assure you the evidence is lacking. A life that claims to be protecting the lives of children -- a party and individuals who claim to protect the lives of children just weeks after over a dozen children died in Texas now claim to support their life, the lives of the young. Who are we protecting? Who does this protect? No one. Overturning Roe puts every single one of us in danger. And what I think many of our colleagues perhaps haven't quite -- or perhaps they fully understand is that it also undermines the right to privacy in the united states of America. But we are here to solve this issue. Our job is to develop a path forward, and in that, we know that this house has passed and is willing to codify Roe, but what we also need is answers from our colleagues in the united states senate. To those senators who voted for these justices under the claim, on the guys that this would not happen, this decision falls on them. What will they do? As they were lied to. What will they do as a consequence of this decision? Whether that be republican or democrat, but we cannot allow this go on unanswered. We are talking about a court with the majority of justices appointed by a party that has not won a popular presidential election more than once in 30 years. Ruling against the majority of Americans. We have a senate that is controlled by minority rule. And we have a house suffering from the impacts of gerrymandering that amplifies and undermines our democracy. We are in a very dangerous moment not just for women, not just for LGBTQ communities, but all of us, but we are in a dangerous moment in the world because this is not just about the right to choice but rule of law and democracy. And you as a full person in the eyes of the law. But to all of those who are watching today's events unfold in fear, in anger, in rage in depression, in anxiety, one thing remains steady, that we will not stop fighting until this is fixed. And I say that to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, we are not going away. We stay, we fight, we push and we will not be silenced. With that, I yield back to the gentleman. Thank you very much." #NMUSCableSatellitePublicAffairsNetworkCSPAN https://www.c-span.org/video/?521171-1/house-considers-senate-bipartisan-gun-legislation #1973_RoeVersusWade #OrgUSFedSupremeCourtSCOTUS #IdentityLGBTQIA
