‘We’ve Lost That Battle’: Joy Behar Says The Fight For The Court Is Over, Republicans
Quote:Joy Behar said Tuesday that Republicans had already won the battle for control of the Supreme Court.
Behar made the comment during a segment of ABC’s “The View,” adding that Democrats should be moving on to fights they might be able to win, such as control of the Senate.
“We were talking about the replacement for Justice Ginsburg,” Whoopi Goldberg began. “Joy, what’s your feeling?”
“You know, I was thinking about the Supreme Court, because we’ve lost that battle,” Behar said. “I don’t want to talk about the Republicans anymore. We’ve lost the battle. That doesn’t mean we lost the Senate. These are the states up for grabs Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, Montana, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.”
“Arizona too,” Meghan McCain cut in.
“Arizona too. Thats right. So those states could become Democratic, help the Democrats win the Senate,” Behar continued, arguing that she was “privileged” enough that the balance of the court was not likely to impact her on a personal level.
“I don’t have to worry about the Supreme Court that much because I’m white. Because I’m post menopausal so I can’t get pregnant, thank God. I happen to be straight. I have money because I’ve been working on ‘The View’ for so many years,” Behar explained, adding, “It’s for those people who are not privileged that we have to worry about. That is who you’re voting for. It’s like you wear the mask for someone else and you want the Supreme Court to be a steady force in America for someone else, not for you when you’re privileged.”
Goldberg agreed, saying that she also thought it best to focus on the things that she could control — like encouraging people to get out and vote. She also mentioned Judge Amy Coney Barrett — who has been held up numerous times as a potential replacement for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg passed away Friday due to complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer.
“Well, here’s what I’ll say about — you know, talking about the woman who has the seven kids,” Goldberg said. “She’s up for becoming a justice. You know, you can’t really Kavanaugh her because Kavanaugh was Kavanaughed because he was accused of rape and people wanted to make sure that that wasn’t the case. No one’s going to accuse her of anything. And I haven’t really seen people going after her for her religion.”

The losing for Democrats won’t end there.

no, but she is right. Might as well fight something you can win. You know, unlike the way on drugs.

Too bad these broads won't talk about something that could make a real difference in the abortion debate. The fact that 18% of ALL pregnancies end up in abortion...and we have contraception that is almost 100% effective. They won't for a second discuss personal responsibility in this issue. That would go against the narrative of choice.
Well..If you don't want children and CHOOSE to have unprotected sex...then you are a POS in my book. WTF happened to personal responsibility and why in the hell are these celebrities not pushing for that instead of being shills for Planned Parenthood abortions? They can all go to hell as far as Im concerned.
