Alabama's total abortion ban will be challenged in court, and it will likely be overturned. That is the point. Alabama plans to appeal this case all the way to SCOTUS. If a similar ban is upheld (most likely in the 5th Circuit), it will force SCOTUS to hear it. Roe is the target.

Graham is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee! That he is telling a witness to not testify seems would be enough to be removed from the committee and censured.

Clandestine intelligence gathering in violation of the laws of another country to support specific US intelligence taskings is “spying.” Using legal techniques to expose foreign spies who are subverting the US and using Americans to do it is a counterintelligence investigation.

- Lee repeatedly failed to turn over more than 75 controversial writings and submitted many only after we identified them. Lee took controversial positions in these writings on race, civil rights and voting rights. His lack of candor with the committee should concern all senators.17 replies264 retweets837 likes
- Mr. Lee’s record shows that he is far outside the legal mainstream. Given the positions he has taken in dozens of articles — and given his failure to disclose writings to my commission and to this Committee — I cannot support Mr. Lee’s nomination to the Ninth Circuit.77 replies299 retweets1,067 likes
