Mika to Christie on his abortion comments: You're full of it!

Christie on board with letting states decide abortion law. Ugh, I really can't stand him. Like I said earlier, Chris Christie is a bad person.

WHY do they keep having him on? When I turned my TV on this morning, the first thing I saw was that guy's face and I changed the channel.

Maybe he is anti-T**** now, but that doesn't negate everything that he did when he worked in that horrible administration. Too late.

I know for sure he worked with T**** for debates, and other things he was in the White House for when he got covid. In any case, he was definitely a T**** stan.

TFG didn't tell anyone that he'd tested positive during the debate prep Christie helped him with. Then, after Christie got very sick and ended up in the hospital, TFG called him, not to wish him well but to be sure Christie wasn't going to say he got covid from him. That's what soured him on TFG, not all the other terrible shit his administration did.

The truth

Christie’s staff went to prison for his Bridgegate.
Scum is still scum.

They're bad. They're all bad. Any one of them with a modicum of decency would have bailed out of that party 3 years ago.

In my more generous moments I'm only talking about the leadership of the GOP, not the bamboozled masses lulled into complacency by relentless Fox News propaganda. Other days my inner economist comes out and points out a democratic country only gets the leaders it deserves: demand drives supply, even when we're talking about bullshit

about right to abortion, he's saying there is NO RIGHT TO PRIVACY, aka "right to be left alone by government" in the Constitution. He's right that it's nowhere stated, only everywhere inferable as inseparable from those rights that are stated -- to those who believe that.

Christie just said he doesn't.

We're on the Internet right now. The "right to be left alone by government" includes the right to google "fresh water" and our county's name for information about our water. But there is NOTHING in the Constitution that explicitly says the Web can't be censored, by platform owners for instance, to limit public access to information. There's nothing in the Constitution that explicitly says we have the right to contraception or even to have a nose job.

All the huge rights and freedoms encompassed under the "right to privacy" hang on validity of belief of INFERRED meanings. The "right to privacy" could be eliminated cautiously in pieces, like Dobbs, or in its entirety in a single supermajority SCOTUS decision.
