Gosh Senator Reid, Really?
I'll bet absolutely no one is surprised but Good Ol' Harry Reid, (Idjit - Nevada) has come out denouncing the United States Supreme Court's decision upholding the ban on partial birth abortion. Now, abortion is a heavy subject and good people disagree on whether or not it should be allowed. Personally, I'm against abortion, but be that as it may, many folk disagree with that position. I'm also against partial birth abortion in part because I have yet to see any scientific reason for it to be performed. Yeah, yeah, I know, maybe it's to save the life of the mother, but I've not seen any case where that has been documented.
But you know what is really funny? When congress voted to ban partial birth abortions, Harry Reid (Hypocrite - Nevada) VOTED FOR IT., yeah, for the ban, and now that it has been upheld by the USSC, he's against it. You don't suppose it's politics do you? You don't think that Harry Reid (Profiteer - Nevada) voted FOR something he felt was unconstitutional just because he wanted to appear on the right side of the issue 4 years ago, and now wants to appear on the right side of the issue of his liberal supporters do you? Nah, not Harry Reid (Jerk - Nevada)!
Jonathan Adler writing in the Volokh Conspiracy perhaps says it best:
So, despite his repeated support of legislative restrictions on abortion, Reid's latest comment suggests that he believes the Supreme Court's decision was regrettable and wrongly decided, and that a law that he supported is unconstitutional. To me, the latter is of greater concern. Call me old fashioned, but I believe that if a member of the Senate believes a law is unconstitutional, he or she should vote against it.
Hey, Senator Reid? You forgot that the blogosphere will fact check your ass every time.

I have yet to notice a Democrat who stands up for his principles and what would normally be the right decision any further than it takes them to make sure they "look good" politically.

When ever I see a post that leans this way toward Reid I want to post THIS as a reminder.

I'm not surprised about this and I'm not surprised voted for the legislation in the first place. Two-faced hypocrisy runs rampant in the Democrat party. He probably voted for it thinking he get points from the pro-life crowd but it'd be knocked down by SCOUS. But, when it wasn't he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Harry Reid is a self-aggrandizing, delusional, senile sack of excrement. I I think DADvocate is absolutely 100% correct in his analysis. Harry Reid voted to ban partial-birth abortion while Sandra Day O'Connor was still on the bench and well before either Roberts or Alito were appointed. He fully expected the law to be overturned.
Either that or he's so deep into dementia that he doesn't REMEMBER that he voted for the ban!
He's a leftwing opportunistic Democrat - they're capable of anything, so long as it's detrimental to our nation.

Liberals always oppose almost any means of capital punishment as cruel and inhumane. Yet, when it comes to a baby who doesn't have a choice and hasn't hurt anyone, they think it's fine to deliver his head, jab an instrument into the base of his skull, and suction out his brains. Perhaps, the only way to get a liberal to oppose abortion is to require that they use a handgun to blow off the kids head while it's being born.
