re: #71 Hecuba’s daughter

I am still trying to decide whether if Hillary had been elected President, the Court would have have a pro-choice majority or if the Court would have only 7 members because McConnell would refuse to approve any Clinton nomination (Kennedy would never have retired if Hillary were President).

This took me aback!

It’s Hillary’s Moment

John Ellis: “The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade creates the opening for Hillary Clinton to get out of stealth mode and start down the path toward declaring her candidacy for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination.”

“Say what you will about Hilary Clinton, she is formidable and ‘up to it.’ And whatever else she might be, whatever baggage she carries, she is an enduring champion of women’s rights.”

“What the reversal of Roe v. Wade has put front and center, smack dab in the middle of the town square of American politics, is women’s rights. Justice Alito’s opinion has unleashed the fury of millions of American women, vast numbers of whom see it as judicial activism run amok and a brazen, unilateral attempt to reverse decades of hard-earned progress. That fury has yet to find its focus. Because it needs to, it will. I guarantee you that rallying behind Joe Biden will not be where it makes landfall.”

Also: “There’s a template for Clinton’s return from the wilderness of bitter defeat: the resurrection of Richard Nixon.” https://politicalwire.com/2022/06/26/its-hillarys-moment/?lctg=126112288
