Thats not a libertarian view IMO. I say that as a Libertarian. Why? Because the one thing you seem to NEVER address is that whole RIGHT to LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness right that our founders decided to write about in the Declaration of Independence. I wonder why they didn’t right about the right to make a second choice after the first choice was a mistake. I know, those damn founders documents always getting in the way of modern opinions.
It’s sort of funny, one of the few areas our Government should be involved in (The right to LIFE) is an area you want them out of.
Just going to guess that you will not address this, again.
Good, go ahead, get the government and prosecute and put in jail all of the mother and doctors who decide to term pregnancy at 3 weeks as they are committing murder regardless if it is via the pill or through an abortion procedure.
from your view, you would go ahead and ban it federally and take the decision out of the states as it is a violation of, I would assume the fifth amendment (life, liberty, etc. was in the DOI not the constitution). Or is it that it should be decided at the state level? Which one?
Also, if that was in the constitution, why did not Alito not just strike down Roe but rather outlaw abortion right there and cite the 5th amendment. Why not just answer it that clearly in his confirmation hearing? Or Cavanaugh? Or ACB? Or Gorsuch? Thomas in 1991 refused to state an opinion. If it is so clear, then just say so.
This is what Trump's detractors never understood or accepted: Trump DOES NOT SPECULATE.
He educates.
Remember when he said that obama spied on his campaign? When he said that HE HAD PROOF that obama had.
But he didn't present that proof to the media. The media called him liar, insane, all manner of attacks.
Then we later learned that Trump had been presented evidence of obama spying on him BEFORE HE WAS INAUGURATED.
No person on the planet had better access to information than Trump did.
When he made a claim, it ended up being proven true.
Every. Single. Time.
Every single time, he made the claim, and provided no proof. The media even came up with a talking point for this. 'Trump claims, without evidence....'
Trump did that intentionally. He was letting the media destroy itself. The media could have INVESIGATED his claims, but they never did.
He was exposing them.
It's a shame you guys never learned how to read what Trump did and say. He gave us everything. But the haters totally missed it and got blinded by media spin.
"Has POTUS ever made a claim that wasn't later proven true?"
He made very powerful claims and many were indeed right. No question.
My comment was on speculations and musings. Here was his most infamous one:
"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, "and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it.
"And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," the president continued.
(I won't quote the whole thing)
Or comments he made about "s...hole countries", etc.
Unnecessary comments. If he wanted to show some of the innovation, then just let Brix get up and speak. (and yes, she was borderline worthless) If she turns out to be issuing blather, then she will expose herself as such.
Again, Ghost we fundamentally disagree about Trump was undisciplined or not, so need to rehash this out. You also find him essentially infallible, or if there was a "fault" he did not go hard enough on something or fast enough.
Gotta love the "Blast Radius"
Regardless, the point is that the less he says, the more powerful he is. He did indeed get a lot of things right.
