Allow me a narrow point, but one that gave me chills.

On the Senate floor a few minutes ago, John Kerry, back from Davos and gunning for Left-wing money, referred to Stenberg v. Carhart, explaining that the Court did an important thing striking down a Nebraska law that banned partial-birth-abortion, because the Court by doing so protected women’s health. Put aside constitutional law and Judge Alito for the moment, because, honestly, that’s what the Dems do anyway–none of this filibuster-talk nonsense is about either one–John Kerry certainly sounded proud that a ban on partial-birth-abortion (click here–WARNING–for a visual) was aborted by the Court. Because that’s who he aligns himself with–people who think that was, in fact, a good thing. Yeah, he’ll never be president. But he could have been.
