ELECTED prosecutor speaks about prosecutorial discretion and democracy

Unpopular opinions:

1 Samuel Alito is bonkers. RantWoman as another Princeton graduate is happy to appreciate Justice Alito's willingness to delve into weird historical moments  in writing his opinion in the Dobbs opinion overruling Roe vs. Wade. RantWoman can appreciate capacity for research and still consider it bonkers to use his research as he has.

2. What if having the Supreme Court barf all over precedent is just the sort of judicial temper tantrum needed to end the tap dance around Supreme Court nominations, to take questions about abortion out of the hands of a court where Catholics are overrepresented relative to their percentage of the US population, and  to motivate and mobilize US voters to write laws that respect women's bodily autonomy, reflect the views of an overwhelming majority of people in the US? The US healthcare system is likely to remain as unfair as it is without substantial other steps, see below. There are going to be a lot of scared people hyperventilating while ducks get lined up to make that happen but all indications TO RANTWOMAN are that votes matter, that change is possible!

3. RantWoman expects to hear a lot about rule of law and respect for democratic decisions. RantWoman would also REALLY like for someone to grab that lovely term "evidence-based" and keep talking every time there is an option about measures that protect the lives of women and children after birth as well as while the child is incubating, please excuse RantWoman, gestating.. 

Will there be enough voices of sanity able to do this...?

Stay tuned.
