John McCain was on “The View” yesterday and one of the topics of discussion was Roe v. Wade. McCain was explaining that he believes the law should be overturned, not because he is against abortion, but because its blatantly unconstitutional–a “law” legislated by the bench, rather than the legislature. McCain said that he believed if Roe v. Wade were overturned, the States would “make their own decisions”. McCain was explaining his belief that the Constitution calls for a small, non-intrusive national government, and leaves to the states the establishment of laws that were not directly reserved for the federal government.
Whoopi Goldberg then said to McCain that it sounds like he wanted “strict constitutionalists” and then in her full ignorant glory, asked
“Should I be worried about being a slave, about being returned to slavery because certain things happened in the Constitution that you had to change?”
Then she begins this ridiculous display of fanning herself out of worry that somehow John McCain was going to slap her in irons and throw her on the slave boat.
Unfortunately, when it came to the point McCain was trying to make, Whoopi completely missed the boat. (pun intended)

My God that woman’s stupid. Does she not understand the constitutional issues? The 13th Amendment is an amendment to the constitution and therefore legally binding.
If Congress and the President pass an amendment on abortion, then there really would be constitutional rights on this matter. But Roe vs. Wade was an unconstitutional decision.Agree! Unfortunately, “political reality” is rarely accurate, and intelligence is obviously not a prerequisite to host “The View”.
