"If men could get pregnant, you'd be able to get an abortion at an ATM." the Internet
I am sure they would fabricate a suction devise specially for them
Make sure you got a lot of orphanage ready for all king of unwanted children 🙏🏼😩
"lf men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament."
Absolutely right 👍
That was Howard Stern
I support a federal law mandating one year in prison for each lie told to the American people by a politician. It’s time to raise our standards.
Whose going to judge the judges? Even the head justice Roberts can't bring himself to investigate Clarence Thomas for conflict of interest concerning his wife Ginny Thomas's involvement in 1/6.
@Nomen Clature the problem is Clarence Thomas not Ginny.
@Nomen Clature yeah ok 3 month old fake propaganda account 🤡😂 no you are what ignorant dishonestly looks like. You have no intention of making any claim other than the ridiculous first grade level “whataboutisms” dood go read a book. You’re trying to act like some philosophical genius when the only thing you know how to say is a sophomoric “whataboutism” fallacy.
Comparing one justice who’s made a statement about their politics to another justice who actively used his position of authority to subvert the government from finding out about his wife’s involvement in an insurrection and covering up his own involvement is the absolute base level of ignorant dishonesty. Just an intentional contrarian you are.
It’s alarming you can’t see just how gas lit you’ve been and how much gas lighting you’re trying to do right now. Just shameful. You’re a disgrace to institutions everywhere.
@Nomen Clature yeah talk about ignorant dishonesty. You have a 3 month old account 😂😂😂 you’re clearly a propaganda troll. You’ll never live up to the women your father was boy.
Washington would become a ghost town.
This editorial should be broadcast on every news show over and over until the Nov election. It's appalling what has happened to the Supreme Court. Also C. Thomas should resign or be impeached.; he is hearing and decoding cases that his politically active wife is working on. Where is their integrity? I think it has been lost.
You can't loose anything you never had.Remember his confirmation hearing
Thomas and Cavanaugh should both be impeached. I rewatched the Cavanaugh hearings yesterday. He clearly lied under oath and showed himself to be an immature whiny, vindictive human being in the process. I, for one, will not be judged by men of such weak character. And I encourage others to feel the same.
Totally agree!
@@deloresking9766 it is “lose” for the present tense of “lost,” and “loose” when referring to things that are not tight or tied down.
All propaganda.
The fact that these "supreme" justices could commit perjury and still hold their positions shows how effed up the legal system in America really is.
Prove the perjury.
@@salortiz6548 i know it's a little late, but you should get yourself an education, it'll help with critical thinking.
@@fuzzy6006 so you have no proof, got it 👍🏼
Yup!!!! But,,,,,,, Trust me,,,, THERE'S A BIG CHANGE COMING!!!!
As a European i have said it before the USA LAWS are a JOKE!!!!!!
Imagine if the government mandated that all unmarried men over the age of 18 were required to have a vasectomy. Hey, it's reversible right? When you get married you can have the tubes untied, but only when you decide to have children. How would you right-to-lifers feel about that? Or is it just women you want to control?
I am really bothered by the attitude of the dumpty court! I taught high school and college and like to think I set an example of a strong, independent woman, and am so proud of what my students have achieved, especially the young women who came from extremely conservative homes. I taught in the reddist area of my state, so I know how hard many had to fight their families even to go to college. To set women back to illegal abortions goes against everything I believe in. Abortion is NOT a decision one person, much less nine of them, can make for another. It is a personal decision based on a personal belief system and the circumstances involved. The first time a fifteen year old told me she was pregnant, I could have cried for her. She did not have an abortion, but the choice was HERS! Vote Blue and be aware that the number of “jurists” on SCOTUS CAN BE INCREASED, AND SHOULD BE!
Epic response
@@beverlychapman4444 And no response...
@@sandragruhle6288 ABSOLUTELY WELL SAID THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD BE 13 TO REPRESENT AND BE FARE AND BALANCED 👍✌
YES, THANK YOU.
As a veteran, this enrages me. Why fight for freedom when the same government takes it. We are not heading in the right direction
Exactly
WE BEEN GOING IN THE POWER WRONG DIRECTION SINCE TRUMP..WHAT ARE THEY GONNA TAKE NEXT? CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY?
Unfortunately, we've been heading in this direction since inception. 😕
Thank You for Your Service and for this Wisdom 🙏 💙
We appreciate your service and sacrifice very much, Ubiquitous Atman. May the Lord bless you richly.
We should all strive our best for this great country. The problem we are having now is the moral decline of some of the politicians. Since they lie and cheat as well as distorting the truth, they sacrifice the good of this great nation. The power is still with the people who have discerning mind to elect our representatives. I served as a small cog of one of the government institutions for 24 years. I think our governing system is very good. However, we need honorable and capable people to lead. Our democracy is our greatest inheritance. Let's all treasure that. 😃
THANK YOU, Lawrence for giving the BEST broadcast EVER. Everyone got thrown into the fire tonight, you had the fuel and gave us the match to listen with.
Finally news straight up, instead of full of lies and propaganda!
Just in time for the election.
Lawrence O'Donnell for *President*! Right now, you are the only man I would trust.
Good one, Lawrence. Keep it coming! Those who lied should step down.
. . . or be forced out
Thank you for your passion and anger over this, Lawrence. The rage inside me is boiling.
Would that include the killing of women in my family, along with the men , grandparents, mother ,father ,brother's , sister's, nephew's, nieces, so proud I set them on fire ,democratic leaders rules
Impeach and jail the LIARS to America under oath
Lying is really in these days. And even if you loose an election, just LIE. Now, lying to get on the Supreme Court is in! Such a terrible example to upcoming youths. No integrity left!! 🥺
To
Me as well
So you are happy about bloody murder!!
Impeaching Supreme Court justices should be a common thing, not a rare thing. We ought to be having five Supreme Court justice impeachments this year.
Unfortunately ......the supreme court is a body of individuals with no conceivable oversight......and a lifetime appointment.
Exactly
You know what David you're absolutely right. We the people have more power than the 1% and certainly the corrupt scotus. Why are we afraid to use it.?
Better stock up on those anti-depressants
Why so you can stack the courts to make legal evert perverted, disgusting thing know in the world!
Thank you Lawrence for speaking out about this -taking away a constitutional right for women is appalling and dangerous !
yes they all lied in their confirmation hearing just because they wanted to be confirmed and I think they privately agreed to trumpy that they would vote his way although in their confirmation hearings they lied saying that they would since it was the law of the land they wouldn't touch it well I think that they should be tried for perjury because it is very very apparent that they lied and tried to take one of our basic rights why women have had to fight for everything they've ever had is beyond me first don't property second to have their own cash and now to take care of their own bodies and let everyone know that they can control when and where and if they want to Bear children
Taking away a constitutional right affects people of all genders, especially given that Roe was established as a matter of medical privacy.
@@barrydouglas6276 agreed
Put the blame where it belongs . RBG has culpability as do white women who voted for trump by 54% over Hillary
They have the privilege according to the laws of their state. The issue is where is the compromise?
Thank you, Lawrence, for expressing all of emotions and ideals that I have felt but could not put into words. Something needs to be done to stop these liars.
They and their cohorts in the Senate & state legislatures need to be stopped. This hypocrisy needs to stop.
TRUST ME,,, JUSTICE IS DEFINITELY COMING FOR ALL OF THEM!!!!!! SUPREME COURT JUDGES TOO!!!!
I have to ask; am I the only one fed up with these people who commit outrageous crimes right in front of us, then walk away as though it is their right to do so??
Been sick,..& from both parties
The real question is: Are we fed up enough to do something about it?
Been sick and tired and outraged beyond endurance!
Well, they're inviolate.
They're your king.
@@womanofsubstance8735 that is the MILLION DOLLAR question…I’ll wait!
If I had lied to get my job, I would be fired. If I lie while doing my job, I would be fired and I would deserve it. I hope these Supreme Court phonies lose their jobs in the disgrace that they deserve.
15 minutes and 38 seconds . In a video about 5 Justices who lied To be confirmed , and not one video showing a lie . He had time to show videos of a few hypothetical Republicans, but no time to show the “Lies” in the confirmation hearings ? Very tailing about the strength of his argument
Well don't worry you don't have to worry anymore nobody wants to go to work anyway so you know what it works out perfect for you
If you have not seen the videos showing the lies Jeffrey, then you are blind. Plenty of proof.
@@jeffrey8488 oh oh and where did you get this information from the fake media okay got it
@@johnnyalexander5219 I keep hearing that from the left but they never bother to link one . I’ve looked and genuinely would like to review one . All the ones I have seen show him agreeing Roe is precedent. Just saying that doesn’t mean he lied him he overturns it . Everyone knows it is precedent. That’s just the beginning of the analysis if it was rightly decided and should be put in the calculation . It’s the beginning not the ending of the decision . There are plenty of SCOTUS decisions that Everyone would say were precedent but needed to be overturned . Send a link of your best evidence of him lying and I’ll consider it . Thanks
I said it once and I will say it again, there should be a term limit on all politicians!! No more than two terms,if they can’t do the job after their first term, we the people can vote them out of office, the Supreme Court, Congress,Senators etc. It is time for term limits for all 🤬
Exactly fully agree 👍
Thank you! Deepest gratitude for speaking the Truth, Publicly, directly, clearly, factually and compassionately. It truly Matters. 💝🙏🏻💐🌈
Lying in a Congressional Hearing is perjury -- punishable by 7 years in prison. They really need to be held accountable.
And I can't understand WHY these folks aren't held accountable!! Merrick Garland needs to charge these people and they need to be released from Congress!! WHAT IS THE BIG HOLD UP WITH CHARGING THESE PEOPLE???????
Yes!
@@lyndafuller2366 right now it’s only hypothetical but after the decision is finalized, yes action needs to be taken against those who perpetrate fraud against our nation.
First, the public hearings by the January 6th congressional committee, followed by DOJ indictments and prosecution for treason. Then impeachment and/or indictment of improper and unethical justices. Sadly those in need of abortion in the meantime (in Texas, Mississippi, and similar states) may be without choices that they deserve to have.
In order to prove perjury, you have to prove that they lied. The only way to nail that one is by obtaining evidence of a prior statement that contradicts what they said on the stand, under oath. Most of these would-be Justices have been careful to never speak on a hot topic that may come up in a confirmation. Clarence Thomas was always very careful to never state his personal biases in writing or with anyone he did not absolutely trust to keep their mouth shut. Like wife Ginny, for example lol.
they can be removed from the court by impeachment however that will not happen as no one in d.c. has a backbone now.
WHY IS THE AVERAGE CITIZEN THROWN INTO JAIL FOR PERJURY YET IF YOU ARE A POLITICIAN OR ANYONE WITH MONEY NOTHING HAPPENS. F the rule of law.
Because there's 2 sets of laws.
Those for the elites who are from....
THE UNITED STATES OF WASHINGTON DC
We're from the Republic of the United States.
Act of 1871.
F the rule of law until you can convince me we're all under the same law. But they'll never do that! Just as this court is so corrupt and polluted you can stick any "decisions" made by them where the sun doesn't shine.
I love seeing these types of comments. Because it means ppl are finally waking up. FASCINATED to see what happens when enough of us have had enough of them
👍👍👍
@@talez5361 Agree.
Wow. Thank you. You spoke the truth with passion and strength and humanity. There has been a long history in the US of not only making people pay taxes but making them pay for the right to live decent lives. If you are black, female, indigenous American, Jewish e.t.c. or just poor or working class you can live your entire life as a so called American and never have that right. We must start to speak up for the right to abortion and justice in all aspects that we are denied. Thank you.
Appalling. When they say that trust in the Supreme Court is waning, they have no one but themselves to blame. Love when LOD gets brutally honest. LOD is the bomb!
Laurence, do not let this story go quiet. We need to hold these judges accountable.
This one of the best shows you have ever done Lawrence. Bravo for calling out the hypocrisy and depraved indifference of these people.
Well said.
Lawrence of America, is rather perky these days with all the significant developments occuring in SCOTUS!
Amen
Bravo. I couldn’t agree more. More men need to step forward and speak up as loudly and as clearly about this issue.
Absolutely
Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly the right response. You hit every nail on the head. I think we all needed to hear this.
Yup!!!! ESPECIALLY THE MAGA PEOPLE!!!!!!
Yes yes yes!! Thank you for this video. So glad to hear this said!!! I have been feeling so cheated by their deception. Let’s name them and shame them in public.
TRUST ME,,, ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN CERTAINLY KNOWS EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE!!!!!
I am a European and worked for over 20 years for an American multinational. I was never very impressed about the intellectual honesty among my American colleagues but what I realised following your politics for the last 6,7 years is that the hypocrisy of Republicans has no limits. Lawrence is explaining this in painful detail and if you are not convinced of this after listening to his monologue you must be one of them. Good luck with you guys in your journey back in time.
Peter, Well said.
We are quickly working our way back to 1930s Germany!
Intellectual, honesty and American people dont belong in the same sentence. Especially politicians.
😥😥😥😥😥
I think it's a New World phenomenon. I have worked in central Europe with a number of Americans and despite their education they seem to lack the
capacity to think deeply (I call it dwell time). Australians ditto. Over the decades there has been a shift in education- sacrificing the humanities and what they have to offer- replacing it with target oriented degrees. In Hungarian we call it 'profession barbarians'. Outside this targeted area, there is little if any exploration of ideas. No doubt the narrowing of horizons has been greatly aggravated by the cost of education. The result is a rather sad palette regarding ideas
How can any court of this land require any oath to tell the truth at this point?
Throw in Justice Thomas and his wife, how is this court legitimate or even relevant anymore.
Especially when there is no consequences for those who lie under oath
@@johnefrederick1590 i just keep thinking how much money did she pay for him
The SCOTUS has become a laughing stock throughout the world. Yup, America, the "shining beacon of democracy." Effing joke.
@@Seattle41791 it is, just not for elites like them..🌝💯
Absolutely great and powerful reporting, Lawrence. Please keep up the great reporting for our voice.
"We're you lying then or are you lying now? " Classic. Supreme Court perjury for politics
We are all at the mercy of these people. How can this be a democracy.
Susan Alexander:democracy ended when SCOTUS decided who won election,and corporations became ppl
I am sure that Joe will save our country and save us from those unfair justices....He is so amazing!! I am sure they will get a few more Democrat judges in the Supreme Court.....what do they call that ....packing the court? Yeah, they'll do that. This country needs saved from all those bad Repubs! I know letting everyone through our borders, stopping our energy production, sending billions of US dollars to Ukraine & others, and all the Biden policies will only help to strengthen our country!
It's not and has never been! We just get fed the illusion of Democracy and the Jan 6 made it very clear and this is the nail in the coffin! Democracy is dead as is justice equal to all!
@@darnelldyson4590 That is only if we let the big mouthed leftist loonies keep getting their way!!!! Do not conform to life as they see it......most people do not agree with their ideas, thus, why should they be pushing their ridiculous legislation into our lives!?!? I say democracy and fairness are done, IF and only IF, we the people give in to the loony leftists!!!
It's not a democracy. It's an oligarchy.
Another pregnancy would have killed me. Then who would have teared my son? We cannot let this stand. My fondest hope is to get rid of all the God Offal Party members in power.
@Nomen Clature Tip for you: learn that women often don't intend to become pregnant and are put in that situation by accident....or by an irresponsible male.
@@goss1961 so a woman cant buy a condom or tell a man to put one on? if women want to be treated as adults they need to act like adults and not children. Contraceptives are more easily available today than at any other time in history so if a woman makes a bad decision she is responsible. irresponsible males get held accountable all the time, it's called child support and in fact, the man being forced to pay doesn't have to be the child's father. that's real injustice for you
God offal party: worthy of t-shirt and bumper stickers. 😅🙄🥰😎
My Mom’s Aunt died after a back street abortion leaving 5 kids without their Mother.
@@goss1961 no, the woman can also be irresponsible...
I love how passionate he is about this. well put!!!
Lawrence is a man of great mental capacity. He is caring, compassionate and open minded. His understanding of freedoms, Justice and humanity is beyond the comprehension of every man I’ve ever known. The Supreme Court justices who scorn women for doing what is necessary for personal survival and for seeking their human right to privacy and bodily autonomy are emotionally, mentally and morally ignorant. There is not one shred of evidence to indicate that any one of these five justices has the judicial sense, moral clarity and human decency required to remain in their unelected, outrageously privileged positions. We the people have United to pass judgment on our “supreme” judges’ abusive, unethical decision. From this point forward we have zero faith or interest in anything they have to say on any of our nation’s serious issues.
EXACTLY WHY I LOVE LAWRENCE! HE REALLY CARES, LAYS IT ALL OUT, SPEAKS TRUTH! THANK YOU LAWRENCE ♥️
Me too!
I am stunned that Lawrence's take on this have been among the best I've seen but I'm here for it. Good for him, I'm glad he is saying it.
Someone has to speak up and Lawrence has the voice and the platform. Thank you to a man who has a moral compass and a pure heart. Good luck with this Draconian Law my heart goes out to you all.
I'm a British man, and therefore I'm not directly affected by this. But I am completely outraged by this decision.
Spot on Lawrence O'Donnell. I'm so glad you brought this lying up. It was disgusting to watch.
Lawrence is keeping his foot on these people’s neck, love him!
His esteem has gone WAY up for me in the last year. Bravo. WHen is his show?
Me too Ive really been loving his shows
Rae - Bad analogy, good point.

The 7 men on the current court are impregnable. They've never experienced pregnancy and never will. We've got some endemic racism in the USA, but this sexism from the highest court in the land makes me, [a man] want to puke. Not from morning sickness, but from sadness and disgust.
I think I'm going through 'hysterical pregnancy' and want an abortion.
Wait what was a woman again?

According to these disgusting people. A life is important until that life has to be fed , housed, educated, and totally cared for. But rejected by the same LAW makers to pass BILLS to provide for them after they're born.
This isn’t spoken about enough. Prolife up until the mother can’t afford proper care for the child, or if that baby turns out to be criminally inclined.
And if you want to be really cynical their final solution is the death penalty for the extreme failures of the system. Good luck America. The summum of the hypocrisy of pro life.
Yes the same GOPers that rant about inner city violence but want there to be no gun regulation.
Until they reach military age and then they're suddenly worth a thought again.
Keeps the sexually deviant priests running the orphanages happy. 🤬
Thank you Lawrence for your support from all women
Close your legs
Well said. Cannot argue with any point you made. The Supreme Court justices should be reviewed and taken to task for lying under oath.
Thank you Lawrence for this superb broadcast. I love hearing your opinions and the fervor with which you present your commentaries.
Lawrence isn’t perfect, but he clearly and routinely does his best to use his platform for the good of us all. If you hear him speaking in this tone of voice, listen!
No need to declare " he is not perfect" but! No one is perfect - is he on point with his analysis and u like it, well can u just say that?! Do u think of urself as perfect?!
@@jillsinanan6777 he is close to perfect.
@@artdalby6108 : Lol - hopes he reads this!!
Well, no one is perfect! But Lawrence, along with many others, does represent and expresses the truth of what's going on.
What about alito. Is he not perfect it is he the devil reincarnated
Man I have to say, seriously, Lawrence has has absolutely KILLING IT these past few days. And I'm so so here for it. Much respect. This stuff needs to be said on a big platform like this.
I also love that he backs it up with Facts & Recepts! He shows us, and even plays recordings of, what people have actually said!!
Word!! I've listened to this several times and its awesome 👌
Nobody inflicts a Republican smack down like Larry!!!
It used to journalism to fact ✔ and support.
He was a Congressman I think. He's an exceptional speaker.
YES he has
All Five need to be IMPEACHED !!
If they lied to the Senate, that would be an illegal act! Get them indicted, arrested, and in court for a trial, and sentenced if found guilty by 12 peers. As they have stated numerous times “No one is above the law”!
If you lie in an interview for a job, isn't that a reason for dismissal in the US?
Especially in their position in the Supreme Court.
Who lied?
Not if it's a political appointment.
what we have in America is judges that lie, and lawmakers that are lawbreakers. the irony, people sworn to adhere to the truth and speak it, and others sworn to make and uphold our laws, violate them.
District attorneys too. They are some of the biggest abusers in the whole system. Conviction rates and percentages, that's all they care about. If an innocent person goes to prison, too bad for him or her. Yes, it almost happened to someone I know well.
Everyday!
Because of those elements you mentioned, those will be the reasons they justify killing large groups, the way some of the Rep Senators have talked about violence towards people that do not believe and think as they do. Our courts will allow this as time goes by once abortion is illegal. They will execute women for having abortions next. Witch trails,but in modern day.
yeah that or msnbc creates these damming stories on all half truths and editing and you believe all there propgander. Wouldn't that be more your fault for believing it still . It's all they do and been doing for at least a decade
BUT....BUT.....EXPECT US TO FOLLOW THE VERY RULES THEY OFTEN VIOLATE OR BREAK AND CAN GET AWAY SCOT-FREE.
Lawrence's most heart felt message,
They lied in hearing? As a Swedish citizen I have a hard time understanding how they can be allowed to work justice. Arrest them!
80000 thumbs up to Lawrence O'Donnell it's good when you get angry and you have knowledge I love this guy
Except for discussing why abortion is the only issue exempt from democracy and federalism.
Me too
Me too, it’s so refreshing to see someone with a platform use it for good, and spread knowledge and try to help.
@Don Transue, there are a lot of other things that goes along with abortion that I am sure they'll get around to. This is about effing with black and other minorities.
Impeach all of the justices that voted to revoke this Constitutional right and remove them from office.
Exactlyyyy. Isn't there something that says they should be fired anyway for lying about their beliefs, if not at the very least following what they were elected to do?? That has to be some sort of legal violation right??
If lying in the hearings eventually saves the lives of innocent children, so be it!!
@@gregpresley1466 So lying and cheating are okay if it is for the greater good? What about the Ten Commandments which explicitly forbids lying? You are suggesting your beliefs are superior to others who believe life begins when the first breath is taken. You are dismissing the harm and possible death to women and children who are forced to carry a fetus to term. Where is your empathy? This seems more of a punishment than love for the unborn.
@@dianemitchell1717 The murder of tiny, defenseless, innocent children is not based on *MY* beliefs. It's based on science.
This court thinks they are kings, but we the american people got rid of that BS along time ago, and we will end this.
How can we tolerate having liars in the Supreme Court? Reputation is at stake as well as all the other crap.
If they charge a women for future abortion the father of the child should have an equal charge. See how fast the law would be reversed if men stand to pay a consequence.
THIS
That is where pro choice should bend their arguments.
If men are charged, it should be a much bigger charge.
Anything less would make it a modern-day witch hunt, which is exactly what Texas SB 8 aimed to do.
The fathers should be charged with at least conspiracy to murder due to being the cause for the need.
I am shocked about the Supreme Court and outraged, I fear for my grand daughters future here in America.

They did lie! And they need to be fired! Any one of us would be fired if we lied on our job applications like those judges (who should never be honored with the word "justice") and they should be fired for those lies.
Yes, Lawrence you commentary rings true!!!👏👏👏
No one, especially not a government, should have the right to tell me what to do with my own body. There are legitimate medical reasons for abortions both for the physical and psychological health of the mother. Politics should have nothing to do with bodily autonomy.
my dear, may God bless your soul. The court did the right thing. All rights are from God so use it wisely.
Your body your choice your bill
Pay for it yourself

@@nonettevillalino2397 I guess you missed the whole "separation of church and state" thing. You have the right to be against abortion, and hold it in contempt of your morals or religion. There is nothing FORCING people to get one. What you are doing is forcing your own views on everyone else, and taking away people's rights because *your* religion says it's wrong. I doubt you would condone codifying sharia into united states law.

To me that's the most disturbing thing about all this,. They lied to get on the bench. Shouldn't scotus justices be held to a higher standard? Why haven't they been charged w perjury?
Where in the US Constitution does it say that one group of Americans has the right has to enforce their religious beliefs on those Americans who have different beliefs???????

It is for those who want that. Not for the everyone, long live freedom.
You are correct. Wait until their wives/gf have an ectopic pregnancy. Wait til they have to watch her die cause some panel has to decide if it is okay for her to abort the embryo. NO woman survives an ectopic pregnancy. Ever. But these stupid old white men have no idea how a female body works. And ectopic pregnancies are more common than they think. I'll be waiting with you for the lunacy to start.
Especially men paying child support. And their wives finding out about their mistresses.
Read Roe v. Wade. The right to privacy is tied to the 14th Amendment as part of that decision.
As a retired nurse who once worked with mentally handicapped. Many also had physical problems. I don't remember how many were the results of incest. No girl should have a baby, the result of incest.
It's insane that NINE people have THIS much power to change the course of an entire nation of some 300-odd million people. I would have liked to have seen the testimony of Alito before he was sworn in. I have read excerpts from the statements of the justices who sided with this ruling and they sneakily avoided directly saying they would never overturn Roe. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing and knew how to avoid perjury but let the people who supported them and wanted to appoint them, know what their intentions were.
They’ll lie to get on the bench. Because they thing they are above the rest and know better. It’s vile and disgusting.
No killing babies. No more. No more Ukraine either. No more politically pursuing those you disagree with.
@@atedinahalf6288 im not sure you can convince most people it is a baby, certainly medically and to me logically. You seem mad unpleasant.
Of course they lied. Just seeing who appointed them said it all. If they were honest they should've declined the offer. How can they accept to be nominated from a con, wannabe dictator be tagged next to their name?
I would've made 5 star history....an elected supreme court judge by tRump declined his offer. Said thank you, but no thank you, didn't want his/er name attached in history by this thug. Talking about high class breaking news. To me that would've been fantastic showing to the world dignity, morals and values are priceless.
@@ARZU10837 I enjoy watching your downfall
They should be removed from the seat they hold. They lied under oath and therefore should not hold the most honorable seat. If they lie under oath then they are not honorable they are corrupt. This should automatically cause them to give up the life long seat. Accountability must must must be enforced.
YES, AND STILL DELVE INTO THOMAS & HIS WIFE!
Here here
Why are the people we elected not prtecting our rights? No politian wants to hold another politian accountable, the Jan 6th committee has not held one person in contempt, only refered them to the DOJ which hasnt indicted anyone. Only a handfull of people have even mentioned Thomas the partisan hack. We keep getting ask for money and votes but we are getting nothing. ODonnell said we are being robbed of our rights he is correct the GOP is pointing a gun at us and the democrats are keeping the get away car running.
Don't you wish they could be held accountable, but whose legally able to prosecute SCOTUS members, as they're the highest court in America. Biden should increase the seated members in the Justice, but you have Manchin and his backup, Sinema to end any appointment because of the
They should all be impeached and lose their seats. But of course that requires GOP to agree, and they are all liars too.
Thank you
I love you Lawrence! I have never wanted to like a video multiple time like this video. You are a great man. The women in your life are so lucky to have you in their lives!! Love❤❤❤
Lawrence, name them! Over and over and over again. We knew they were lying 🤥 when they testified. Call them out now and make them feel some kind of shame, if they are even capable of it. Shame,shame, shame on them.
They are capable of shame. To feel shame, they need a conscience and a little empathy or compassion. All they have is a bunch of self-righteousness.
Unfortunately they have no shame whatsoever!! Lied to the obtain a lifetime appointment on the Highest Court in the Land. The ONLY justice here is that they will all one day stand before The Holy and Righteous Judge - Jesus Christ. Payday is coming...
They have no shame. They have no shame they leave that to the poor and weak.
Thank you for addressing the men of America directly, Mr. O'Donnell.
We can hope that something in your passionate history lesson on hypocrisy might break through some cognitive wall.
We can hope.
I love Lawrence! He keeps a very real perspective on the reality of those Supreme Court Clowns 🤡
I can’t believe this is happening in the United States.
This is horrific, reprehensible and cruel.
They won't stop - they'll go after contraception and equal marriage next.
And then segregation.
And mixed race marriage and equal schools etc. Totally un American.
And who may serve in the military services....
@@annihilator45 actually, pretty American....
Vasectomies, hysterectomies, miscarriages next!
I watched this about an hour ago and thought it was excellent. Mr. O’Donnell really laid it out so eloquently.
US needs an individual like Lawrence in Government and as President. I would support him 💯
Thank you ,Lawrence .
Well said, Lawrence!! I'm viewing all this from the Netherlands. I love America, but I can't believe how some Americans are destroying such a great country 😢 Wake up all men in power!!!
It’s because the constitution is interpreted different ways but sadly yes Republicans are destroying us
Not really well said at all if you understand our government and legal system. Our Supreme Court interprets the law, our Congress writes it. The Roe v Wade ruling was a weakly supported interpretation that has always been vulnerable to other equally strong arguments. Particularly those (including the leaked draft) based on the 10th amendment which holds that anything not directly addressed in the constitution is to be a matter for the individual states to deal with... abortion rights are not directly addressed in the constitution (an interpretation was made that they were implied in Roe v Wade.) In such situations, Congress is responsible for cementing a precise law in the constitution via legislation if they want to be sure it holds. Rather than do so, Congress chose the politically expedient cop out of letting it ride on a fairly weakly supported interpretation while attempting to manipulate potential justices into doing their jobs for them by getting them to promise they wouldn't consider challenges to it (which is highly unethical to ask as well as for a justice to agree to as all challenges should at least be open for consideration.) None of the justices here ever directly stated that they would uphold the Roe v Wade ruling regardless of the circumstances. Had they done so, they definitely shouldn't have been made justices.
Long story short, Congress didn't do their jobs (as usual) and are now trying to deflect the blame (again as usual) onto the justices... with the help of sympathetic media outlets.
Edit: Just to be clear, I myself am pro-choice. I just don't like it when anyone tries to pass their responsibility for something off on others who (whether I like the outcome of their actions or not) are not technically doing anything wrong.
@@possumverde precedent is settled law and they are doing something wrong. Even if it is codified, they could still rule it as unconditional.
@@possumverde You make excellent points, with the exception of defending the "justices" in their confirmation hearings. The "circumstances" haven't changed since they were confirmed, (other than the illegitimate majority in the court). In the draft, they simply kicked Stare decisis to the curb. Could they be convicted of perjury, as some foolishly claim. No, of course not. However, to claim they were being honest in their Congressional testimony is simply disingenuous in its own right! They had attended Bork University, and we're acting accordingly!
And some women.
I have always asked "what if the person was your daughter or your wife" - these hypocrites. The US is so divided - how long can it stay as one nation????
It's been divided since day 1
Seek for the almighty God and you we see unity and peace. The US is too political, that’s the cause of division.
Exactly.
@@erwinmatias3078 ufff. Not everyone believes in god, and there’s freedom of religion in the USA, so please can you keep this aside? That’s not the solution for anything.
@Erika With a K that’s why you need God.
More than "shame" on the Court ! We put our faith in your caring for our Rights, you REALLY let us down !
Fear leads to anger. Fear those who want to control you
Amen, Lawrence. Your rage and eloquence speak for us. America is entering a period of shame and repression. Who can ever regard them again as a world leader, or beacon of democracy?
Well said.
Over a Roe V Wade overturn lol Roe V Wade was unconstitutional in itself when it was voted on originally. And more than like the only affect it'll have is within the red states blue states more than likely will not outlaw abortion like the red states will.
@@SarahsAtticOfTreasures as always
The court lose legitimacy when mascot Mitch stole not one but two democratic presidents pick.
Agree 100 %.
My other question is: Will these justices face legal repercussions for lying to the senate un der oath?
I sure hope so. Lying in a Congregation hearing is punishable by 7 years in prison
No
Democrats must have control of both houses or congress before a Supreme Court justice can be impeached and removed. This is unlikely unless a miracle occurs.
ONLY IF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS A SPINE!
All these politicians and Supreme Court Judges want to apply rules and laws from tree centuries ago, really what’s wrong with these idiots, all advances in every single aspects goes out the window because they only can find their excuses in something that far ? Because obviously we as a nation have move on from those times but yet we have an idiotic character like Alito imposing his beliefs in the American people. Let’s put this in our ballots in the next election and let’s make it a Law, see what will happen
PREACH, Lawrence!
I learn so much from the Last Word. Thank you Lawrence
I was called into an office for lying during an interview and threatened with the loss of my job. I used my tax return which included overtime payments. I was never under oath or any higher than my future boss. (With a BA in physics and 20+ years of experience, I was making less than the secretaries). Surely lying to Congress under oath should be expulsion from their jobs.
Michael, i feel sad for you. That moment u have 2 choices: do the right thing by not following them, or become a puppet as they want you to be. Be a man of God, and you will never go wrong. Life is about choices... do evil or good. That is a great liberty that God has given us. The choice is ours because that's how God loves us so much.
Yup!!! But,,,as long as MEN are in "CHARGE",,, absolutely nothing is gonna change!!!
Well said, Lawrence. This must go viral.
You have become profound. Thank you.
Why are we not going after those who lied under oath in front of the Senate for perjury.
This has always been my argument. No one would stop me from getting an abortion because I have the means. Equal rights for everyone.
@@hakapelika7024 you're the actual problem.
@@hakapelika7024 imagine valuing a foetus over a woman's autonomy and life.
@@gracehart6289 good thing your parents didn't feel the same way huh? You should probably apologize to your mother for being born and start paying her back huh... otherwise your just a hypocrite who doesn't act on thier activism.
I think since men create pregnancy and these so-called men don't want woman to have reproductive rights, these so-called men should be castrated. This will stop unwanted pregnancy. Does this sound ridiculous? So is overturning Roe v Wade.
@@gracehart6289 Imagine trivializing and demeaning the value of the innocent unborn life claiming it deserves death because a woman refused to either abstain or protect herself from becoming pregnant. .
I have to say Lawrence, you have gotten my attention. We are grateful to have you come forward this way about such an important topic. I loved every word of this piece. We need more mainstream media personalities to be more honest like you were here. Thank you for your service as the people’s voice, eyes and ears.
Thanks so much for your points of view. It's so refreshing to hear truth regularly. No matter how ugly or disappointing.
I’m personally tired of being respectful in my comments about this!
The “Right” especially the evangelicals deserve zero respect!
