Personally I like my time piece to be correct more than twice a day. A constitutional amendment resolving abortion boundaries would be best. That is as likely as having a lunch date with Bigfoot. So the states and courts will wrestle with abortion. Maybe Congress will weigh in. Eventually Roe the sequel will be cobbled by the Supreme Court.
People liked to say that DJT was on record as supporting “16 weeks”….which recent events help to demonstrate as to the usefulness of whatever DJT puts on the record.
This newsletter is at its best when you're covering critical Constitutional issues, and how they're being approached by members of both parties. Outstanding piece.

Donald Trump? What About Him? He's Invisible When It Comes To The Responsibility For Creating The New Supreme Court.
Nope, I Stand With Mike Pence And The True Pro-Lifers ( Abortion Abolitionists ). I Stand With The Arizona Supreme Court. I Don't Care If It Hurts Fake " Pro-Lifers " Like Donald Trump And Kari Lake, In The State Of Arizona. That Serves My Anti-Donald Trump Agenda, Perfectly.
Yep, I Don't Care If The Arizona Supreme Court's Decision Costs Donald Trump The State Of Arizona And, As A Result, The General Election. Just As Long As The Arizona Supreme Court's Decision And The 1864 Statute Stands And Remains In Effect.
I only have one thing to say to David Thornton. Liar, liar, pants on fire! Donald Trump most certainly did NOT urge his supporters to go to the Capitol building on Jan. 6th to cause an insurrection. He said for them to go PEACEFULLY! To state anything else is a total and complete lie, and Mr. Thornton should be ashamed of himself.
“The difference between the two is key. Biden’s policy may be bad, but he is pursuing bad policy in a peaceful, traditional, and legal way. Biden’s bad policy won’t break the Constitution, but Trump’s assault elections might.
“It’s the distinction between a broken leg and a heart attack. Both are bad, both are problems, but one is much more serious than the other.”
You are SO close to getting it right here, but then you flub it up in your metaphor.
I really like your writing, David. You’re clearly principled conservative (disclaimer: I am not), but the crazies taking over your party has allowed you to see more clearly the intentions and motivations of the opposition than most. That’s why I enjoy reading your content—even though I largely disagree with your positions, you’re honest and don’t imply malicious intent to those you disagree with.
Back to the quote above. You describe a policy disagreement you have with Biden… then you liken it to a broken leg. That is very uncharitable. I don’t think you’ll find many people who disagree on the “virtues” of a broken leg. However, I can assure you that you’ll find supporters of student loan forgiveness as a policy position!
All that said, I mostly agree with this article. The student loan program (and higher education funding more broadly) is a mess right now—and very ripe for reform. But clearly Congress is not up to the task. I don’t know how to fix Congress, but the pragmatic side of me says we can’t wait for Congress to get its act together.
