“We should be afraid of this court, that five guys should start determining what contraceptions are legal,” Pelosi told reporters Thursday at the Capitol. “It is so stunning.”

 

"That court decision was a frightening one, that five men should get down to the specifics of whether a woman should use a diaphragm and [whether] she should pay for it herself or her boss," she said. "It's not her boss' business. His business is whatever his business is, but it's not what contraception she uses.”

 

 

Nancy Pelosi: Americans should 'be afraid' of the Supreme Court

Nice response by Megyn Kelly.

Pelosi is missing quite a few of these:

Nancy Pelosi is indeed correct. Bad decisions like Hobby Lobby should not come as a surprise when more than half the justices view every case through the same prism.

Just want to make sure I understand you, you think only the conservative justices view every case through the same prism?

Poor ol Nancy, she seems a little punch drunk these days. Guess it's from passing too many laws before she's read them.

Every case? You mean like the Obamacare ruling?

There's a serious lack of diversity on the high court. The fact that the five-old-man majority is all Roman Catholic is the elephant in the room that no one talks about. (Sotomayor also shares the same faith, so that's six of nine.) There are no Protestants on the Supreme Court. There are no atheists on the high court. There are no non-Harvard or non-Yale people on the high court. There's also a definite East Coast bias.

We certainly need to revisit Roe V Wade -- those men had no right making " female" legal decisions like that -- right two place ? If anyone ever wanted a clear display of hypocrisy this is it .

so we need a court full of atheist females from LA who went to Stanford. Got it.

If I'm reading you right you want the SC to mirror the population? Any suggestions on how you would do that? Are you willing to kick off the Latino justices and bar any future African American justices until Thomas retires? Atheists? How do you get 5% of 9?

She's not correct. She's fanning the lying flames of fear, it's what politicians of her ilk do best. She's also so stupid she doesn't even grasp that she cosponsored the law that gave the SCOTUS the right to judge in favor of Hobby Lobby.

Did I say that? Uh, no.

Stacked courts of either political persuasion lead to bad decisions. We all know that.

Pelosi is off base on extending the Hobby Lobby decision way beyond its impact. She is just using the opportunity to hype voters with an election nearing.

 

However, don't underestimate the impact that the contraception/birth control issue has. I would like to see the stats to see if I am right, but my guess is more than 60% of all female voters will vote against anyone who wants to limit access to birth control, etc. This is why Pelosi is going on her rant on the topic.
