Supreme Court puts GOP on defense in Senate races -- it could be a 'turning point' in the midterms

The leaked Supreme Court draft decision showing Justice Samuel Alito leading a far-right majority in overturning Roe v. Wade may dramatically upend the 2022 midterm elections.

"In the top Senate battlegrounds, Democrats are buying up television time and sounding off at every opportunity about Republican plans to curtail abortion rights. They have seized on the moment — and consider it a possible turning point," Politico reported on Saturday.

The leaked draft opinion is playing out differently depending on the state.

"One of the GOP’s most vulnerable incumbents, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), focused on the unprecedented disclosure of the draft opinion, more than its substance. 'The goal of this unprecedented breach is to intimidate sitting Supreme Court justices,' he tweeted. On social media in the days since, Johnson has focused on inflation and the border," Politico noted. "Pennsylvania’s contentious race for an open Senate seat is proving to be one notable exception to the GOP rule about downplaying the impending decision. Republican Senate candidates there have been talking about abortion for weeks as a way to pummel Mehmet Oz, the celebrity doctor endorsed by former President Donald Trump."

1. The GOP is never on defense. Relaxing for one second is not an option.

They attack with every weapon they can find or manufacture 24 hours a day, every day, with the support of virtually all of the media. If they have absolutely nothing, they can pull off stunts like replaying a "scream" nonstop that was edited out of a noisy crowd. When the Access Hollywood tapes came out, they started on Hillary's emails.

I am just sick of all of the articles about the political ramifications of the overturning of Roe, instead of on the monstrous consequences of that probable decision. Why aren't their articles on the disastrous state of foster care in this county and calls for increasing funding and support for that system???
