Biden: Race Preference Ruling Violates What ‘Constitution Says’ that All ‘Created Equal’ — Dobbs Gave States Power ‘We Fought a War over’

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” President Joe Biden criticized the Supreme Court’s rulings in the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade and striking down racial preferences in college admissions and stated that the court is straying away from what “the Constitution says: We hold these truths to be self-evident, all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator” and that ruling that there isn’t a right to privacy in the Constitution and states can make their own laws on abortion in Dobbs is “giving states power that we fought a war over in 1860.”

Biden said his earlier statement that the Supreme Court is not “normal” meant that the court has “done more to unravel basic rights and basic decisions than any court in recent history. And that’s what I meant by not normal. It’s gone out of its way to — I mean, for example, take a look at overruling Roe v. Wade, take a look at the decision today, take a look at how it’s ruled on a number of issues that are — have been precedent for 50, 60 years sometimes, and that’s what I meant by not normal.”

He added, “Remember, the Federalist Society…had a very, very strict construction of the Constitution, and if didn’t use the word, it didn’t exist. But this administration — this court has gone beyond that. And I just find it — I don’t know how to express it, I find it just so out of sorts with the basic value system of the American people, and I think that, across the board, the vast majority of the American people don’t agree with a lot of the decisions this court is making.”

Biden further stated, “Its value system is different, and its respect for institutions is different, and in that sense, it is not as embracing of all what I think — the Constitution says, we hold these truths to be self-evident, all men and women are created equal, endowed by their creator. It’s the uniqueness of America. We never fully lived up to it, we never walked away from it. And this court seems to say that, no, that’s not always the case. The idea there’s no right of privacy in the Constitution, giving states power that we fought a war over in 1860. I just think it’s — this is not your father’s Republican Party.”

Six days to the Fourth of July and he's denying the Declaration of Independence.

I am amazed (but extremely pleased) that they still allow Biden to speak at any length in public. Even being as charitably indulgent as I can, I have no idea what any of this incoherent babble is supposed to actually mean.

With most other politicians, you can at least understand what they are saying (or trying to say), even if it just amounts to a bunch of rhetorical posturing, vacuous platitudes, and empty verbiage (which it almost always does). Almost every time Biden opens his mouth, though, he beclowns himself - and, by extension, the entire system that produced and supports him.

I am being completely and sincerely unironic and non-sarcastic when I say I wish we had a lot more politicians like Joe Biden (and John Fetterman).

Feeling a little dazed and confused, there, Mr. Resident?

He added, “Remember, the Federalist Society…had a very, very strict construction of the Constitution, and if didn’t use the word, it didn’t exist. But this administration — this court has gone beyond that. And I just find it — I don’t know how to express it, I find it just so out of sorts with the basic value system of the American people, and I think that, across the board, the vast majority of the American people don’t agree with a lot of the decisions this court is making.”

Oh, so all of a sudden, values, tradition, precedents and laws matter? I thought we've had a Great Reset? Isn't this The New Normal? Weren't we just being told -- 5 minutes ago -- that we will own nothing and be happy? We will eat bugs and we will like it? We will all reduce our "carbon footprint" or, rather, our "carbon footprint" will be unilaterally reduced for us? No vote required. No input from the American public needed. Our betters know better and we will like it or be canceled.

But hey, since law doesn't matter, precedents don't matter, values don't matter, lap it up, Mr. Resident. Go ahead and drink the king-size goblet of "New Normal" which has been poured out for you, to overflowing. Trust me, you're going to enjoy it every bit as much as we were meant to enjoy the gReAt ReSeT.

Fire is coming...

giving states power that we fought a war over in 1860

Oh cut it out with the dramatics... this decision has absolutely nothing to do with the War of Northern Aggression. And anyway, we don't have F-15s and nukes, Mr. Resident, so you can sleep soundly in your Deep Underground Military Bunker under the White House knowing that the Union is perfectly secure against any and all threats.

Welcome to The New New Normal ...
