So Fun To Watch Elie Mystal Flatten Right-Wing CSpan Callers
Wacky right-wing CSpan callers are no match for the constitutional scholar.

Watching Elie Mystal knock down right-wing CSpan Callers is such a hoot. We clipped one above, but really, you should go watch the whole half-hour online for a dose of reality-based entertainment.

The call above is from a woman who, sadly, wants the US legal system to be the Ten Commandments. She said she had an abortion in her 20's and prays for forgiveness from the Lord every day for what she did. (She makes no comment about the man who got her pregnant against her will.)

Caller says she has "pencil and paper in hand right now. Tell me, where in the Constitution or in the papers, that gives a woman the right to kill an unborn human being. I will write it down and look it up."

Alrighty then!

She's not going to be happy with Elie's answer, because clearly she wants to do a Google search for where Alexander Hamilton put a seal of approval on fetal viability. The law doesn't work that way, caller.

1. Unfortunately, the current SC doesn't care about no stinking Constitution.

2. His response:

Woman having rights; 4th Amd/search + seizure
14th amd= protection, woman control
infer right to privacy
9th amd (amds not listed were contemplated.)

13th amd; involuntary labor not contemplated.

((My shorthand))

3. I wish he had a show of his own.It's refreshing listening to this kind of logic and intelligence

I doubt the caller took notes, I imagine she didn’t even listen, and I even think she lied about having an abortion. This is what we are up against, they think lying and cheating is just fine because God is on their side. They can rationalize and justify any kind of dirty deed that way

4. I love this man

I love to listen to him on Stephanie Miller's show.

He's also very funny.

5. Do you have to pray for forgiveness for a sin over & over again?

Or is abortion the only sin the lord never forgives?

6. Yep. Especially women.

God is holding that grudge because that woman ate some fruit. 6000 years ago.
That’s a pretty long grudge.
