Roe v. Wade certainly fits that description and that kind of the out-of-the-mainstream thinking will cause me to filibuster and use every tool that I have at my disposal to block his nomination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure how &#8220;well-established, long-accepted precedent&#8221; makes Roe v. Wade so infallible. Jim Crow laws were the norm for more than a hundred years. <\/p>\n<p>To me it&#8217;s not a religious issue, but rather a human rights issue &#8211; a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Roe v. Wade cheapens life and sets a dangerous precedent. It benefits hormonally-driven, irresponsible teenaged boys more than it benefits women.<\/p>\n<p>But, you know me, I&#8217;ll take any opportunity to remind people that Blumenthal is an opportunistic valor thief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Talking Points Memo, phony Vietnam veteran Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) is chomping at the &hellip; <a title=\"Valor thief Blumenthal wants to filibuster Gorsuch nomination\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=70971\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Valor thief Blumenthal wants to filibuster Gorsuch nomination<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31035,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70971"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/31035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
