The Supreme Court has 'burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had' with their ruling last week overturning Roe v. Wade, says Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

June 26, 2022, 9:50 AMSen. Elizabeth Warren addresses the public during a rally to protest the US Supreme Courts overturning of Roe Vs. Wade at the Massachusetts State House in Boston, June 24, 2022.The Supreme Court has "burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had" with their ruling last week"They just took the last of it and set a torch to it," Warren, a Democrat, told ABC “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz in an interview.

In a Friday decision, the high court overturned the landmark holding in Roe, instead ruling that there was no constitutional guarantee to abortion access. Justices voted five to four to reject Roe and six to three in favor of Mississippi’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, in the underlying case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

In the days since the decision, at least eight states have outlawed abortion and in the coming weeks a total of 26 states are expected to ban or severely restrict it, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

MarthaRaddatz Take your ball and bat and go back home.

MarthaRaddatz Correct. They lied to get on the court with LeaderMcConnell abuse of power and used a legal precedent from the time we accused women of being witches for their argument. They are part of a theocracy not a democracy. SCOTUSIsIllegitimate

MarthaRaddatz LOL. She faked being an Indian to get jobs, sit out conversations about legitimacy

MarthaRaddatz They sent the decision back where it belongs, to The States and The People. Why do Democrats want 9 unelected people creating laws for everyone? Do they hate democracy?

MarthaRaddatz Please take a civics lesson...Abortion has not been banned, its been sent back to the States

MarthaRaddatz The members of SCOTUS have lifetime appointments. Once they’ve surmounted the nomination process, they only have to answer to their consciences. Members can’t be voted out of office. If they become mentally, emotionally, or physically sick, we’re stuck with them regardless!

MarthaRaddatz With respect America what you need is not more justices on the SCOTUS, but an independent judiciary free of political interference by left or right. That's what democratic nations do.

MarthaRaddatz Time to stack the court.

MarthaRaddatz No law was made to make it illegal, they simply did away with a protection that interpreted the Consituition that was being constantly challenged. Making the states and Congress address it in law.

MarthaRaddatz Look at the poor democrats crying 😢 😭 😞 and whinging like a baby 👶 😢! Bitching their lord Satan how they was done wrong! The fact that the justices did the right thing for once the democratic confederacy government wants

MarthaRaddatz Is it safe to say when it comes to The Supreme Court, she has reservations?

MarthaRaddatz Warren is hate filled for a christian USA.

MarthaRaddatz No one cares what warren has to say

MarthaRaddatz Those who cry 'My Body, My Choice!' yet remained silent when governments instituted vaccine mandates are hypocrites!

MarthaRaddatz The woman who faked Native American heritage to get education and employment advantages talks about “legitimacy.”

MarthaRaddatz Uh oh, Pocahontas mad.

MarthaRaddatz Mitch out maneuvered them and now all we can do is scream about it. We got to be smarter.

MarthaRaddatz We need to impeach judges that lied under oath of the oath means nothing

MarthaRaddatz Take the abortion bill of rights & tear the satanic temples & abortion clinics down . Stop the damn feeble lame inexcusable ungodly unhealthy unlawful unconstitutional & un sacrificial to life exactly like sacrificing internal organs by selling internal organs below poverty level

MarthaRaddatz It's only a great court when she agrees with their decisions

MarthaRaddatz Didnt she say she was Native? We must listen to the spirits

MarthaRaddatz Sorry the are still a great SCOTUS and you need to respect the decision that was made. What Because it didn’t go your way now they are illegitimate You are a disgrace to any to your position and should leave

MarthaRaddatz Liz wants to pack the court with left leaning judges that agree with her instead of judges who have read the constitution

MarthaRaddatz What about our border and while you’re at it POTUS Turn on America’s oil and gas Americans need affordable energy and electricity seanhannity USATODAY newsmax WSJ SpeakerPelosi GOPLeader NBCNews CBSNews Sen_JoeManchin PressSec SenMarkKelly

MarthaRaddatz Seriously 🤣🤣🤣

MarthaRaddatz RoeVsWade SCOTUS

MarthaRaddatz So the left doesn’t get a ruling in its favor so now all of a sudden the Supreme Court doesn’t have legitimacy. And you people wonder why nobody likes the left

MarthaRaddatz ExplainItBob

MarthaRaddatz I think the court secured their legitimacy by restoring Democracy to our legislative process

MarthaRaddatz

MarthaRaddatz America = Gilead

MarthaRaddatz if she wants to add more judges it would be a mistake to add more judges that don't know what a woman. how can u rule in favor of woman having certain rights if they don't know who thise people will be?

MarthaRaddatz Because the Court’s job is to reinforce the beliefs of Elizabeth Warren.

MarthaRaddatz Fake news

MarthaRaddatz That’s insurrection!

MarthaRaddatz The So-called Supreme Court is just a bunch of Political Motivational OLD PEOPLE, and a Joke to our Nation

MarthaRaddatz Dems undermining democratic institutions. What‘s new? Even RBG wanted Roe codified. They preferred using it to scare voters into voting Dem for 50 years instead of amending the constitution.

Sounds like seditious speech to me

why can’t this be w city to city thing instead or a state?

They burned their legitimacy by doing their jobs properly? Interesting take.

SenWarren Senator Warren the spokesperson for the folks of Massachusetts do you think a politician has burned their legitimacy by falsely claiming to be an American ending on a college application to gain advantage over their peers? Thus cheating a true Indian out of a seat at the table

Give up already, Damn! It's over and done with. This country ended legalized murder and now we to focus on down the road and stand up and walk.

Hmmm. Would this be instigating violence and insurrection. Threatening the Supreme Court. Oh wait, not republican so it doesn’t count🙄

SenWarren Pocahontas: Biggest liar dare I say ever?!?!

Amazing they had plenty when they voted in favor of LGBT and immigration and police issues

SenWarren I think that a member of a branch of government with abysmal favorability to call another branch of our government 'illegitimate' is beyond the pale. You've clearly placed yourself in a group that is the enemy of our republic.

A radical right Supreme Court? 🤔 A liberal democracy? 🤔 What could possibly go wrong? 🤷‍♂️

In order to codify Roe in to law, we must elect two more senators and abolish the filibuster. We’re an account completely dedicated to just that. Do us a favor: RT this and follow us here if you’re 100% committed to EXPANDING the Senate majority in 2022!

The entire democrat party from President down is inciting violence and yet MSM still does not hold anyone accountable- the same people holding a circus act of hearings for a so called 'insurrection' are now CALLING FOR AN INSURRECTION!

Yes. SCOTUS is an illegitimate outlet for radical rightwing idealogues. Their decisions are now entirely tainted and it's clear the 6 CONServatives are straight-up liars & perjurers. They are disgraces.

Maybe she should check with someone who graduated from law school for real.

Maybe send some smoke signals next time.

SenWarren The Supreme Court is Holding to Truth, Science, Biology, Law, Common Sense, Precedent…all factors to consider in Reality and Common Sense. DEMOCRATS however, Deny Truth, Science, Biology, Common Sense, Law, Precedent. DEMOCRATS have become Unhinged & Un-American, Nov will tell.

SenWarren Every Dem on the campaign trail who says the words 'Supreme Court' must precede that phrase with the word 'extremist.' They can say they respect the institution blah blah but those six fanatics have earned the adjective 'extremist.' Say it everyone: 'extremist Supreme Court.'

SenWarren And we question the legitimacy of every Democrat and Rhino, including POTUS 46. She’s a long seated senator who should understand our government better. Shame on all of you!🖕🏻

SenWarren Quiet crying just because it didn’t go ur way……Be an adult and move on to things that will help….quit dividing people

SenWarren When are the calls for secession going to come? Both sides call the government illegitimate in some manner. If we don't go to dine type of civil war... It'd be only out of Big Guys grace.

SenWarren Wait, can a political body that has no legitimacy claim that another body has none?

SenWarren The Supreme Court - the new home of authoritarianism and judicial insurrection.

SenWarren Thank God the constitution doesn’t care one bit about your stupid tweets.

Would be nice and refreshing to read an ABC tweet/report for the other side of the argument. Thank you in advance.

SenWarren

SenWarren Still completely legitimate they just didn’t agree with your opinion.

It’s time to declare war on the Radical GOP They will not stop stripping your rights away, They are fascists and want patriarchal,theocratic, authoritarian rule. We WILL stop them. The government should not have a say in what a woman does with her body. PERIOD. tyranny

SenWarren U don’t like the decision made, Elizabeth just do away with it. U have illustrated the ideology behind abortion. Woman regrets her decision she made with her body, just do away with another body. The ideology that will lead to Americas existence.

I agree.

SenWarren Any on or any thing that sides with Senator Karen has chosen the wrong side. She makes making the right choice so easy.

SenWarren You’re like a spoiled child having a tantrum! You can’t have everything you want!

What the SCOTUS did was to take the question of abortion to the people of the states and out of the hands of political bureaucrats.The WHPA is a good example...they didn't want to ask we the people if we want federal laws allowing NO LIMITATIONS, ABORTION ON DEMAND(Partial birth)

SennWarren calls for lawlessness. That’s the headline.

The only 'native american' that can't make a fire....

Just take your toys and go home. We're all never going to agree.

Fascism lost in Mass, of course the smartest states in the country think sensibly 👏

So it’s ok to make it mandatory for a shot? The government can interfere then? You are a hypocrite!! Goodbye in November!!!

Warren has had decades to enshrine Roe. Does she accept that blame?

The SCOTUS is behaving as corrupt as the Supreme Court of NY was before TeddyRoosevelt was elected governor and cleaned it up. And. the timing of all of the abortion cases they had just before all three were in place under Trump and 2 of them were stolen by him and the GOP
