While speaking on the only network that will still air his face, Jeffery Toobin arrogantly preached about women’s rights. The legal analyst was caught masturbating during a zoom call with his co-workers at the New Yorker. Toobin was, of course, fired, but sustains that he did not realize his camera was still on.
He just seems like one of the last people you should see on television but the folks at CNN have no problem with what he’s done.
While flipping out during a rant about the overturning of Roe V Wade the analyst preceded to bark at women about their rights to abort, “what this means if this is, in fact, a Supreme Court decision that is, as Justice Alito’s words stand, as the court’s decision, what this means is that a constitutional right that women have had in this country for fifty years, pushing three generations, is gone. It is gone overnight, and it is now up to the politicians,” he said.
Toobin concluded, “They are trying to ban abortion in the whole country. They are banning the use of the mails [sic] for medical abortions. They are banning travel for abortion purposes. They are criminalizing attempts for members from other states to try to get to try to ban abortion within their states. I mean, this is a constitutional earthquake if it stands. And American life, not just American law, will be very different if this is the law of the land.”

ANDERSON COOPER: Jeff, you predicted this would happen. Talk about the importance of this.
JEFFREY TOOBIN: Well, I predicted it would happen, but I sure as hell didn’t predict it would happen this way. You just have to understand what a breach of Supreme Court tradition this is. This was known as the one leak-proof institution in Washington. There has never been anything like a leak of this magnitude, anything close, never, never, never. And it’s just an indication of how riven the Supreme Court is by anger and viciousness over this issue. But putting the procedural issue aside, what this means if this is, in fact, a Supreme Court decision that is, as Justice Alito’s words stand, as the court’s decision, what this means is that a constitutional right that women have had in this country for fifty years, pushing three generations, is gone. It is gone overnight, and it is now up to the politicians.
And this idea that it is simply returning the abortion rights to the states is not really correct because what we are seeing in these states that are banning abortion is they are reaching out. They are trying to ban abortion in the whole country. They are banning the use of the mails [sic] for medical abortions. They are banning travel for abortion purposes. They are criminalizing attempts for members from other states to try to get to try to ban abortion within their states. I mean, this is a constitutional earthquake if it stands. And American life, not just American law, will be very different if this is the law of the land.
