As the collective meltdown on the left spirals out of control following a leak that Roe v. Wade will be overturned by the Supreme Court, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) issued a stinging rebuke of the “Trump justices” on the high court Monday night and blamed Republican lawmakers for voting them in.

Politico broke the story reporting that an anonymous individual gave them a draft opinion on the case authored by Justice Samuel Alito. It concluded that Roe v. Wade and the court’s 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey have no grounding in the Constitution. The final ruling is expected to be handed down in June.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito wrote in the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

“If the report is accurate, the Supreme Court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past fifty years – not just on women but on all Americans,” Pelosi tweeted in outrage.

“The Republican-appointed Justices’ reported votes to overturn Roe v. Wade would go down as an abomination, one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history,” she blisteringly added.

Without mentioning the dangerous and enormous gravity of the leak itself, Pelosi declared that the GOP has ‘devolved’ into the “party of Trump” and every Senator that voted for Trump justices will have to “explain themselves.”

“The party of Lincoln and Eisenhower has now completely devolved into the party of Trump. Every Republican Senator who supported Sen. McConnell and voted for Trump Justices pretending that this day would never come will now have to explain themselves to the American people,” Pelosi said, slamming everyone on the right she could fit into one sentence.

Schumer echoed her words exactly from a joint statement released in another tweet that accused the conservative justices on the Supreme Court of lying.

“Several conservative Justices, who are in no way accountable to the people, have lied to the Senate, ripped up the Constitution, and defiled precedent and the Court’s reputation—all at the expense of women who could soon be stripped of bodily autonomy and constitutional rights,” he said.

Justice Alito was joined by constitutional originalist Justice Clarence Thomas and three Trump nominees: Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett in favor of overturning the abortion mandate. If the case is overturned, abortion will not be federally outlawed. It will be up to individual states to decide whether to make it legal or not.

The leak is unprecedented and many are positing it was done to sway the court’s opinion under public pressure and force it to reverse course. Calls to pack the Supreme Court and to do away with the 60-vote legislative filibuster immediately followed the leak as did protests.

Democrats are now attempting to use the leak to play to their base for the upcoming midterms in November.

“If this report is true, this Republican attack on abortion access, birth control, and women’s health care has dramatically escalated the stakes of the 2022 election. At this critical moment, we must protect and expand Democrats’ Senate majority with the power to confirm or reject Supreme Court justices,” Democratic Senatorial Campaign Executive Director Christie Roberts proclaimed via a statement, according to The Hill.

“If #SCOTUS is going to legislate from the bench and turn back the clock 50 years on #RoeVWade, then the Senate needs to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act, and if we need to eliminate the filibuster to get it done, we should do that too,” Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) wrote on Twitter.

“People should take to the streets across the country. Right now, the Senate can pass an exception to the filibuster and codify Roe v. Wade. This is the most dramatic setback for women’s rights in decades.,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the chairwoman of the House Progressive Caucus, wrote on Twitter.

“I will continue to fight tooth and nail for every single person’s right to have a legal and safe abortion in this country. We will not accept this sitting down and we WILL take this to the streets and the voting booth,” she continued.

  2. Why do so many keep saying a clerk leaked it? Could be any pedophile loving Justice.

  3. No one is above the law Nancy. You do remember saying that I’m sure. Well I hate to give you the bad news but the Trump appointed justices were appointed according to the law of the land. You do remember how important following the law is, don’t you. And you are absolutely correct, those senators will have to face their voters. I hate to say it, but I suspect the majority of voters will agree with their decision.

  4. Good to know that Trump has company with GOP in ole Nanc’s empty noggin, living rent free.

  5. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.)  must be extraordinarily ignorant to say something as vapid as “If #SCOTUS is going to legislate from the bench and turn back the clock 50 years on #RoeVWade…..”.

    Does this airhead realize that SCOTUS already act8ng as legislators did that in ruling for Roe? That they would be act8ng as the Judicial bench in overturning it?

  8. Gee, Pelosi, you want to blame someone? Blame me for voting for the people who confirmed those Justices. Don’t like it? Too bad…..

  9. There is only one thing we know for sure, the leaker was one of the Democrat Supreme Court justices! No one else would have a motive! For all we know, it might have been through Pelosi; “me thinks she duth protest too much.”

  10. LOL, she is barking at the wrong party……the dems leaked this out as usual! The media is running with it and should be censored and canceled!

  11. The abomination is the Democrats used a flawed case to do Margaret Sanger’s dirty work the Planned Parenthood who was a strong supporter of the KKK. She was responsible for illegal abortions and forced sterilization for minorities and the poor she despised and didn’t think they should have children. It wasn’t even enough to kill 65,000 unborn but they have continued to push the killing up to day of birth. Did they actually think people would finally had enough of their crazy ideas from full term abortions to CRT and sexualizing children! Now they are over vaccinating children! Stop the attack on our youngest Americans by voting all Democrats out!

  12. First, NOBODY will “define” a “Woman,” for the nominee of “the Supreme Court ” justice. According to Biden, women don’t exit. SO “WHY” women’s rights”? These people in Washington are NUTS! For TWO “CATHOLICS” to espouse abortion is SO HYPOCRITICAL! “Catholic” politicians, my ass.! Neither one of them are CATHOLIC!. Second, “they” are NOTHING but deceitful LIARS.Third, “IS” that “they” will BOTH be held accountable come November & also “when” they die. In the meantime, Our Lady “says” to pray for them, since SHE “does not want one soul lost.” Turns my stomach that “I” have to pray fr these sleezebags.

  13. Look up the legal phrase “finished law” … short version to quote Justice Kavanaugh is finished law … meaning even the Supreme Court can’t change Row vrs Wade. Pelosi what kind of new lie are you pushing.

  14. PIGlosi, go ahead and investigate WHO leaked the document.
    then hang the mother

    1. Finished Law … Justice Kavanaugh on the subject of Rowe vrs Wade remarked that this was “Finished Law” and not even the Supreme Court can reverse it. This is just another bait an switch lie from the dems. Another fact Pelosi can’t dodge is the fact that way too many dem tv spots that yesterday reported this dem (pick one) wants to expand every social program that takes more of my tax dollars. I’m an old ad man, these tv promos takes days to make and distribute … today the same dem (pick one) says I’ll defund your right to an abortion … bottom line, this was planned after the dems realized that they were going to lose the House an Senate … by the weekend all the dems involved, along with those for starting this will be exposed.

  16. Watch old Nancy spin. We the communist left know we had everything to do with this, but we blame the GOP. Amazing, right? They now have a new crisis and they will not waste it. It’s all about diversion. Smoke and mirrors so to speak. They already know who is guilty. Here comes the usual dog and pony show.

    1. Kavanaugh already reported on Rowe vrs Wade … he called if “finished law” and not even the Supreme Court. Like you this is just another dem lie … and one that will cost them more House & Senate seats than they might have lost.

  17. Go back to Ukraine you stupid biach. There are more photo ops there for you.

  19. The Republican-appointed Justices’ reported votes to overturn Roe v. Wade would go down as an abomination, one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history.

    Does anybody really expect devil worshippers to respond with normal human sensibilities? These people have as much compassion for human life as they have tolerance for those who disagree with them. Which, of course, is absolutely none.

  20. When I was growing up murder was always a crime,,boy how times have changed,,,,,,,FJB,,,,,
