Sen. Marsha Blackburn criticizes 1965 Supreme Court ruling on birth control access

[TexasTowelie]

U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn this weekend called a landmark 1965 Supreme Court ruling legalizing access to contraception "constitutionally unsound" in comments criticizing the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the high court.

Blackburn's comments came ahead of Senate confirmation hearings for Jackson, nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Joe Biden. Blackburn, R-Tennessee, sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which began the hearings on Monday.

"Constitutionally unsound rulings like Griswold vs. Connecticut, Kelo v. the city of New London, and NFIB vs. Sebelius confused Tennesseans and left Congress wondering who gave the court permission to bypass our system of checks and balances," Blackburn said in the video address. "It is the 11th hour and Judge Jackson's stance on the Constitution remains a secret."

Blackburn's office on Monday declined to comment and did not address Tennessean questions about about her position on contraceptive access, including her specific objections to the ruling, if she would support a state's right to further legislate access to birth control and if she believes government power should supersede a marital right to privacy.

And she needs to mind her damn business.

2. WTH does the current nominee have to do with this?

Did she ever complain about the access to male enhancements? Why bring it up today? Imo...the R’s have nothing..not a candidate of equal qualifications. Not a positive outlook for the 21st century..just reversal from the progress made. For a party that wants less government, they sure come up with shackles for every issues
