“I don’t know why we’re surprised by Trump,” intoned the President of These United States. “How many times does he have to prove we can’t be trusted?”
How many times, indeed!
This is one of the president’s more delectable gaffes. His enemies understandably gloat. “When you’re so senile that the truth keeps slipping out,” tweeted one. There were many others mining this vein.
If by mining we mean picking up the shining rocks right out in the open, beneath our feet.
But Biden didn’t mean it. He merely said it.
The geriatric meant much of the rest of his recent Tampa speech pretty much as he spake it.
He started off talking about abortion, and about the event organizer who “represents what millions of women in Florida now face.”
What do they face?
Well, starting Wednesday, May 1, they face a ban on abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat, that is, after the sixth week. Before that, but after the Roe decision was overturned, Florida women were not allowed to abort their babies only after the 15th week. But they still could get abortions if they acted fast enough. Still can. They just face a deadline.
Apt word, that: deadline.
The banners behind him boldly proclaimed “Reproductive Freedom” with the BIDEN/HARRIS logo below it, and, bigger yet, at center, “Restore ROE.”
But the Roe regime cannot simply be restored by “your votes,” as Biden implies. The Supreme Court would not easily overturn the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe; a second-term Biden would have to pack the court to get what he wants.
Unrestricted abortion certainly cannot be re-established nationwide by legislation, for Dobbs sent the matter back to the states. It would take a constitutional amendment to make abortion legal in all states. Unlikely.
Once again, Biden has proven he cannot be trusted.

With respect to Roe v. Wade, what the typical Democrat wants is a majority on the Supreme Court who will over-turn the over-turning. Such a scenario seems more plausible to me than perhaps it does to you. The Democrats may retain a majority in the Senate, as well as the Presidency. The unstated hope of the Democrats is that Biden with choose the replacements of Justices Alito and Thomas. (The packing effected in the late 1860s and that later sought by Roosevelt involved an expansion of the size of the Court.) New Justices may adopt a modification of the argument of former Justice Kennedy (who pointed to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments in this matter), or may go full Ginsburg and just flip-off textualism altogether.
The softly spoken fear of Democrats is that Trump will choose the replacement of Justice Sotomayor, as well as two relatively young jurists to replace Alito and Thomas.
