Biden Criticizes Thomas Over Abortion Ruling and Luxury Trips
-
Biden made a dig at Justice Clarence Thomas over his luxury trips funded by billionaires, referring to him as "the guy who likes to spend a lot of time on yachts."
-
Biden wants to push to codify Roe v. Wade as federal law, believing Democrats can win enough seats in 2024 elections.
-
Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, leaving abortion rights up to states, 21 of which have restricted abortion since.
-
Thomas argued legal rationale overturning Roe could apply to other rights like same-sex marriage and contraception access.
-
Biden said he doesn't think the Court has enough votes to overturn those other rights now but a couple justices would likely go further.
