If it goes back to Idaho and they prevent women from accessing healthcare, then the federal government must remove its funding as per legislation. What a dreadful time for those women caught in the middle.
If all the Democrats fled the red states they would have a hell of a problem on their hands because they wouldn’t have way less money coming in for taxes. Most of the smart/educated people are Democrats so that means the doctors, lawyers, educators,…all those people would be gone and red states would have nothing;which is what they want so we should give it to them. Every Democrat in a red state move out now why are you can afford it. Otherwise when the militias come and block the roads you won’t have a chance unless you have an army behind you.
This SCOTUS decision has no teeth. When there are 43 out of 44 counties in Idaho deemed “healthcare shortage areas” getting to the ONLY county hospital in the state with proper medical care might be impossible! 🤬
What a waste of healthcare dollars when so many people need help with their health care bills! They are literally airlifting women to other states to get emergency care after they've already had a miscarriage and the unborn child is already dead. This is absurd

When I hear these horror stories of the risk of having a baby to the mother because of the disgraceful medical care in some American states I am thankful that 50 years ago I had my babies in France. I had wonderful free care and the medical care given to my babies was amazing. How do American women cope knowing if something goes wrong they could die or be left with life long consequences?
Women are dying because of the lack of care they have received! Some women won’t be able to have more babies because of it! So cruel and twisted! They didn’t think it through! My body, my choice! Women and their doctors should decide what’s best for themselves!

The test only being preventing death doesn't allow for the mother definitely being able to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The difference is between the mother potentially being a vegetable vs the mother having her health.

Yes, I DO object to women losing rights and access to appropriate medical care and health maintenance. One of the most dangerous things a healthy woman can do is get pregnant and have a child. They should have the right to make that choice with their healthcare provider.
That has always been the view of the Catholic Church. My MIL told me the story of having a pregnancy In the 60's that was really a tumorous clump of cells. She became very ill and was taken by ambulance to a Catholic Hospital. The Dr's refused to remove the tumor and were going to let her Die. They were forcing her to labor his clump with out medical intervention. Her husband who was caring for her 6 other children had to demand they save her because the children needed their mother. They were going to let her die to save a deformed dead fetus. He was so angry he must of scared the shit out of the Dr's because they did end up saving her life.
The majority of this court should time travel back to the Middle Ages which is where they belong. They would have been right at home during the Spanish Inquistion as well.

If anyone cared, the executive and legislative branches would do something. But let's be honest...Nobody cares...Supreme and federal court appointments were not always lifetime appointments. A law could be made to revert to the original rotation system.
@@commonsense571 that will not change the supreme or federal courts. It will not get federal charges against republican operatives who supported insurrection. I think you all are delusional, this game is over...The Democrats are just too weak.
Since the adoption of the US Constitution, appointments have been for life. They hold their offices DURING GOOD BEHAVIOR. There is nothing to revert back to. Lying to Congress, accepting bribes, and aiding and abetting an insurrection is not good behavior! ARTICLE 3. The Judiciary SECTION 1. FEDERAL COURTS AND JUDGES The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the Supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services . . .
@@memyname1771 Federal and Supreme court are not the same. There is also precident of Federal justices hearing lower court cases as well as district justices hearing higher cases> If I am not mistaken Rehnquist presideded over a lower court trial.
The Supreme Court should reflect the Norms and ideals of the American public, not the other way around. The Constitution is a living document and evolves with the nation as it grows and matures!
Fact: 43 out of 44 Idaho counties have been designated “ health professional shortage areas “! Bottom line….you can get emergency pregnancy care……..but you may only have a nurse or physician assistant available.
Indiana too...but at least we are close to abortion care in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. I feel for women in TX and deep south who are essentially trapped without access to appropriate healthcare. Republicans fail to acknowledge these regressive laws are diminishing healthcare for all.
@@annjuurinen6553 And maybe everybody remembers the Greek play, Lysistrata, that was a comedy based on women refusing to have sex until all war stops. Even though it was a comedy, that was the best option available to women back then. But I dislike this idea of "no nooky" because it just feeds the misogyny and is the wrong way to think about it. Women have a right to sexual pleasure and would miss it just as much as men (check out that play; it's hilarious!). But there is good birth control now; we don't need 100%, what we need is the shock of women actually controlling reproduction. It's already happening, for heaven's sake, if you check the shockingly declining birthrate in the US. I proposed your idea (with my caveat) several years ago, and suggested we announce it with a full-page ad in the NYT. Imagine the waves it would send across the whole country if we women were able to even pull off part of that idea. The irony of the GOP's attempt to end all abortion access is that it would lead to a huge jump in the birthrate of people of "color", leading to white minority status in the US for sure (supposedly going to happen by 2030).
Scotus Project 2025 Scorecard this month so far: FOR: Repealing bump stock ban; granting kick backs for officials; EMTALA federal law kicked back to states for emergency pregnancy healthcare; Block EPA “good neighbor” rule; SEC deconstruction = 5. AGAINST: Fed can urge social media to remove misinformation = 1. (Note: upholding federal law or dismissing a frivolous case not counted; it’s the basic job of Scotus.)
99.9 percent of people affected by this are women. Yes, sure. It affects nonbinary people and trans men who make up a nano-microscopic portion of the pregnant population. It is okay to call something a “woman’s issue” when the vast, vast majority of people who will die because of this are women.
Maybe if we just say “those persons who can be impregnated “, TPWCBI . There you go. Unless someone can come up with a catchier acronym that describes “young female children who are raped and impregnated “ without upsetting anyone’s gender identity
Dump Alito!! Go Kamala Go!! You are the future of a progressive America where Truth and Integrity rule! ... We have to vote Blue all the way to oust the MAGA and empower Kamala in the Senate and House.
On another note can a governmental figure go behind the scenes and manipulate federal taxes, credit scores, job status, ect...Why would spending their time in this way be of use to them?
Planned Parenthood of Oregon opened a clinic right at the Idaho border last year. Emergency airlifts out of Idaho for pregnancy complications increased by 25%. Now Idaho is passing a law making it a crime to transport a minor over state lines for an abortion without the consent of their parents.
The women affected don't carry enough guns. When some ranchers out in Idaho decided that they did not have to pay to graze their cattle on government lands all they had to do was pick up a gun and every Republican in the federal government went running to their defense. Funny republicans don't seem so concerned when it is a human woman whose rights are being trampled. Women are property but not as important property as a cow
Does the law granting federal supremacy do so based on a measurement (inches? pounds?) of “the size of the conflict” between the federal statute and the state statute or is it a matter of in the event of any conflict - the federal laws are supreme? It seems the more decisions that come out of SCOTUS - including the decision to grab up this case before a State Appeals court ruled and to not step in on the J6 Immunity case when the Appeals court had ruled rightly, the more obvious it becomes that certain Justices either do not know the law or do not care what the law is. They are making a mockery of themselves and the their reputations. It’s really pitiful to watch even as a layman. Somebody like the somebodies who made the series Succession should be plotting scripting and casting as new series based on the very real soap opera drama that must be going on in the lives of the Justices at work and at home. “The Supremes” or “Justice” are a couple of working titles that come to mind.
The law granting federal supremacy it the US Constitution. It is widely available, and is a quick read. ARTICLE 6. Supremacy of the National Government SECTION 1. VALID DEBTS . . . SECTION 2. SUPREME LAW This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding. SECTION 3. LOYALTY TO CONSTITUTION . . .
Well what's kinda screwed up about this whole thing is , You have Judges instead of Doctors deciding on a Medical situation, Wouldn't it be ironic if Doctors were deciding cases in the court rooms?
Dear Mr. litman, I find your presentations informative and educational. One thing, though, in the painting behind you the break in the horizontal line that happens behind the tree is quite distracting.
How can any of these people who care nothing for a woman who wanted a baby, who wanted a child but through no fault of their own has a miscarriage and needs to undergo a procedure to stop her bleeding or could leave her unable to have another chance to have the baby she so wants. This is insane!
Where does 'all life matters' end, Would the Supreme Court now mandate all life saving procedures MUST be performed? If someone doesn't what a life saving surgery which would prolong their life but not add to the quality - could they be charged with murder?? Would DNRs be invalidated? Why is this just an 'abortion' issue if all life matters?
Anything that pisses off Alito HAS to be good for Americans.

That has always been the view of the Catholic Church. My MIL told me the story of having a pregnancy In the 60's that was really a tumorous clump of cells. She became very ill and was taken by ambulance to a Catholic Hospital. The Dr's refused to remove the tumor and were going to let her Die. They were forcing her to labor his clump with out medical intervention. Her husband who was caring for her 6 other children had to demand they save her because the children needed their mother. They were going to let her die to save a deformed dead fetus. He was so angry he must of scared the shit out of the Dr's because they did end up saving her life.
The majority of this court should time travel back to the Middle Ages which is where they belong. They would have been right at home during the Spanish Inquistion as well.
This group of biased judges is going to make the Inquisition look like your grandmothers afternoon tea parties. Welcome to the Jihad of christian wackos.
Great analysis, Harry. By the way, if you ever decide to part with the painting on your back wall,keep me in mind. It is an exquisit painting. Have a good day. p.
I don’t agree with that! I will always do what I want when it comes to my own body!! 👎👎👎👎👎
Thank you for your explanations and bringing these up.
Poor Alito, it must be painful to not have your religious beliefs imposed on the entire country.
What is his religious beliefs, Communism/slavery for women? We are not 2nd class citizens. Pay attention women, next they will try to keep us from voting.
For the electorate justice delayed is justice denied.
Hi Harry!😊
If anyone cared, the executive and legislative branches would do something. But let's be honest...Nobody cares...Supreme and federal court appointments were not always lifetime appointments. A law could be made to revert to the original rotation system.
💙💙💙✨🗽✨💙💙💙 all the more reason to keep fighting for everyone to get out and vote BLUE up and down ballot ✨
@@commonsense571 that will not change the supreme or federal courts. It will not get federal charges against republican operatives who supported insurrection. I think you all are delusional, this game is over...The Democrats are just too weak.
Since the adoption of the US Constitution, appointments have been for life.
They hold their offices DURING GOOD BEHAVIOR. There is nothing to revert
back to. Lying to Congress, accepting bribes, and aiding and abetting an
insurrection is not good behavior!
ARTICLE 3. The Judiciary
SECTION 1. FEDERAL COURTS AND JUDGES The judicial power of the
United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior
courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The
judges, both of the Supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices
during good behavior, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services . . .
@@memyname1771 Federal and Supreme court are not the same.
There is also precident of Federal justices hearing lower court cases as well as district justices hearing higher cases>
If I am not mistaken Rehnquist presideded over a lower court trial.
thank you sir
The judges are cared to lose their job, Because are they are not above the law.
SCOTUS dropped three decisions today, probably hoping to pull some of the attention away from Trump and the debate this evening…
Good point.
Holy shit, so happy Harry is so accessible now!
I had to watch this video twice, the fly caught my attention 😂
The Supreme Court should reflect the Norms and ideals of the American public, not the other way around. The Constitution is a living document and evolves with the nation as it grows and matures!
Interesting, thanks for the education. However, there is a spider behind your painting.
Fact: 43 out of 44 Idaho counties have been designated “ health professional shortage areas “! Bottom line….you can get emergency pregnancy care……..but you may only have a nurse or physician assistant available.
Sounds like Idaho is not a safe place to practice medicine. This is also happening in Texas.
Missouri is in same place. Terrifying. 🙏🏻🇺🇸⚖️💙🗽🩺🗳️
😢💙🙏🗽💙
@@communitygardener17not a safe place to be of childbearing age as a woman 😢
Indiana too...but at least we are close to abortion care in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. I feel for women in TX and deep south who are essentially trapped without access to appropriate healthcare.
Republicans fail to acknowledge these regressive laws are diminishing healthcare for all.
Hi Harry!
Did anyone else get distracted by the spider 🕷️ on the wall behind Harry? 😂
Merca is finished. Thanks Harry.
Women should collectively agree, no pregnacies in the nation for one year and then let's see what everyone thinks.
They will legalize rape.
There is only one way to ensure 100% no pregnancies. 🤣
@@hpm9703yup!
@@hpm9703 that is what she is saying. No Nooky for a year.
@@annjuurinen6553 And maybe everybody remembers the Greek play, Lysistrata, that was a comedy based on women refusing to have sex until all war stops. Even though it was a comedy, that was the best option available to women back then. But I dislike this idea of "no nooky" because it just feeds the misogyny and is the wrong way to think about it. Women have a right to sexual pleasure and would miss it just as much as men (check out that play; it's hilarious!). But there is good birth control now; we don't need 100%, what we need is the shock of women actually controlling reproduction. It's already happening, for heaven's sake, if you check the shockingly declining birthrate in the US. I proposed your idea (with my caveat) several years ago, and suggested we announce it with a full-page ad in the NYT. Imagine the waves it would send across the whole country if we women were able to even pull off part of that idea. The irony of the GOP's attempt to end all abortion access is that it would lead to a huge jump in the birthrate of people of "color", leading to white minority status in the US for sure (supposedly going to happen by 2030).
How many people were damaged by the the decision to take this case,?
If the fetus might die the mother's life must be sacrificed according to religious RW fascists of the patriarchy.
Honestly!🤬
And then who the hell do they they imagine to raise the child?!
Honestly 🤬🤬🤬💙💙💙✨🗽✨💙
And what about her other children. Who is going to raise them while Dad’s at work if he’s even in the picture anymore?? Stop this insanity.
Resist!
@@commonsense571 How can the fetus survive without the mother?
@@janthomas7094 People are idiots, obviously.
About time the SC has limits. Retire Roberts, Alito and Thomas, it's long overdue.
Scotus Project 2025 Scorecard this month so far: FOR: Repealing bump stock ban; granting kick backs for officials; EMTALA federal law kicked back to states for emergency pregnancy healthcare; Block EPA “good neighbor” rule; SEC deconstruction = 5. AGAINST: Fed can urge social media to remove misinformation = 1.
(Note: upholding federal law or dismissing a frivolous case not counted; it’s the basic job of Scotus.)
I'm a fan of how you mix up your backgrounds, Harry, and especially like the paintings lately! ❤
well, I learned something
Alito is worried his wife might beat him with that flag.
One day “the court” will not have jurisdiction over another’s body.
Jackson sharp.
Just a gentle reminder that this doesn't just affect women's reproductive rights - nonbinary people and trans men are also affected by this.
99.9 percent of people affected by this are women. Yes, sure. It affects nonbinary people and trans men who make up a nano-microscopic portion of the pregnant population. It is okay to call something a “woman’s issue” when the vast, vast majority of people who will die because of this are women.
Maybe if we just say “those persons who can be impregnated “, TPWCBI . There you go. Unless someone can come up with a catchier acronym that describes “young female children who are raped and impregnated “ without upsetting anyone’s gender identity
The USA is stuffed
Put it back to where it was before they overturned it !!!
The anagram for "Samuel Alito" is "I Am A Sellout."
I couldn't care less how outraged Alito is about anything. He needs to go along with this friend Thomas.
NO! we're faultless folks.
Scotus reform is urgent.
Back in what?
I sincerely hope Alitio"s daughter never needs abortion health care to save her life.
You could guarantee she'd get it anyway... they are totally corrupt and rules and laws don't seem to affect them.
She'll get it and her daughter's and daughter-in-law's will all receive prestige care, just not the rest of American women.
I don’t think they’re human so you don’t have to worry.
Hope she does and doesn't get it...
Good for her calling them out 1:00 @
As of today? Yay? But how long it been? The suffering
Dump Alito!! Go Kamala Go!! You are the future of a progressive America where Truth and Integrity rule! ... We have to vote Blue all the way to oust the MAGA and empower Kamala in the Senate and House.
On another note can a governmental figure go behind the scenes and manipulate federal taxes, credit scores, job status, ect...Why would spending their time in this way be of use to them?
Something has to be done about these federal Society activists within our Supreme Court system. Their votes have to be neutralized.
Planned Parenthood of Oregon opened a clinic right at the Idaho border last year.
Emergency airlifts out of Idaho for pregnancy complications increased by 25%. Now Idaho is passing a law making it a crime to transport a minor over state lines for an abortion without the consent of their parents.
The women affected don't carry enough guns. When some ranchers out in Idaho decided that they did not have to pay to graze their cattle on government lands all they had to do was pick up a gun and every Republican in the federal government went running to their defense.
Funny republicans don't seem so concerned when it is a human woman whose rights are being trampled.
Women are property but not as important property as a cow
Best thing you can do is if you're a woman is just move out of Idaho. There should be a fund to help women relocate out of the state.
Truly a pathetic state.
Audience of one spider. 😅
Does the law granting federal supremacy do so based on a measurement (inches? pounds?) of “the size of the conflict” between the federal statute and the state statute or is it a matter of in the event of any conflict - the federal laws are supreme? It seems the more decisions that come out of SCOTUS - including the decision to grab up this case before a State Appeals court ruled and to not step in on the J6 Immunity case when the Appeals court had ruled rightly, the more obvious it becomes that certain Justices either do not know the law or do not care what the law is. They are making a mockery of themselves and the their reputations. It’s really pitiful to watch even as a layman. Somebody like the somebodies who made the series Succession should be plotting scripting and casting as new series based on the very real soap opera drama that must be going on in the lives of the Justices at work and at home. “The Supremes” or “Justice” are a couple of working titles that come to mind.
The law granting federal supremacy it the US Constitution. It is widely available, and is a quick read.
ARTICLE 6. Supremacy of the
National Government
SECTION 1. VALID DEBTS . . .
SECTION 2. SUPREME LAW This Constitution, and the laws of the
United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties
made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States,
shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be
bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the
contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 3. LOYALTY TO CONSTITUTION . . .
Well what's kinda screwed up about this whole thing is , You have Judges instead of Doctors deciding on a Medical situation, Wouldn't it be ironic if Doctors were deciding cases in the court rooms?
Dear Mr. litman, I find your presentations informative and educational. One thing, though, in the painting behind you the break in the horizontal line that happens behind the tree is quite distracting.
I don't care to speculate on how justices feel..... Disappointed....
What did they do? Why did they do it? Just the facts sir.
I swear I feel like our hands are tied until Our Vote in November on here. My hands arent tied, what to do ?
Retirement for Alito, Clarence.
They need to be held accountable for their actions. Go to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect retirement!
Pointless trying to defund scotus. Their main money comes from the heritage foundation. Their salaries are chickenfeed.
BTW there's no such thing as a 5-4 decision. If 4 JJs refuse to sit, there is no quorum. :)
Alito is corrupt not surprising he doesn’t like hearing it. Boo hoo
Alito will end up in prison.
How can any of these people who care nothing for a woman who wanted a baby, who wanted a child but through no fault of their own has a miscarriage and needs to undergo a procedure to stop her bleeding or could leave her unable to have another chance to have the baby she so wants. This is insane!
Where does 'all life matters' end, Would the Supreme Court now mandate all life saving procedures MUST be performed? If someone doesn't what a life saving surgery which would prolong their life but not add to the quality - could they be charged with murder?? Would DNRs be invalidated? Why is this just an 'abortion' issue if all life matters?
