39. Federal Right to health care
I'm rooting for Congress to get involved in this and pass something giving this woman a federal right to health care. If she gets it, so does everybody else.

I feel awful for her and her family. But the very day this thing becomes national news, we allow a state to remove life support to an infant over the objections of the mother, and there's not a word. An infant, whose condition might have been detected had the mother had health care, and who might have wanted an abortion. But oh no, we couldn't let her make that decision, but we can let a judge overrule her after the child is born.

They are psychotic. The whole lot of them.

But we do have to keep our eye on what's important and the judges and the filibuster is most important.
