why horses who read should be arrested for witch mischief (I’m not a good enough liar)

“It’s important to remember how we got here. Because keep in mind that poll after poll shows that a majority of Americans don’t want Roe vs Wade to be overturned. But the GOP didn’t care about that, no. They didn’t care about winning over the people. They just cared about getting enough justices onto the court to get what they want. This is a hostile takeover of America’s reproductive rights by the five conservative justices: Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas. Alito, who authored the draft opinion, argued that Roe could be overruled because ‘the inescapable conclusion is that the right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the nation’s history and traditions’. According to this argument, there actually is no fundamental right for women to control their own bodies. Lawmakers could pass laws giving them that, but that right is not part of this nation’s history and traditions. Which is kinda true. I mean, the history of this nation is that man can control what women do, and that’s what we want to go back to, right?” —Trevor Noah

“Well, shit,I had planned to discuss the Met Gala’s Gilded Age theme, but instead I’ve got to talk about another group of out-of-touch people in crazy outfits pretending that its 1895: the supreme court. Justice Alito’s draft decision, which proposed ‘an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of common law…’. Because nothing says looking toward the future like adhering to the earliest days of common law. That’s why I believe that life begins at white landowning male and why horses who read should be arrested for witch mischief.” —Stephen Colbert

“As for the four other justices in alignment with Alito: Congratulations ladies, decisions about what you can do with your body are now being made with four old dudes and a woman who thinks The Handmaid’s Tale is a rom-com.” —Stephen Colbert

“So if these folks believe that Roe vs Wade was so egregiously decided, why didn’t they tell the senators that during their confirmation hearings? Each conservative justice confirmed Roe was precedent and thus settled law of the land. Well, because American voters support abortion in all or most cases at 80%. They knew if they were honest they wouldn’t get the job, so they lied. Which I think is perjury, but what do I know? I’m no supreme court justice – I’m not a good enough liar.” —Stephen Colbert
