Andrea Widburg of the American Thinker explores the virulent reactions to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs abortion case.

Angered that the Supreme Court announced in Dobbs that abortion is not part of the Constitution but is, instead, a matter for the states to decide, a lot of leftists are announcing that they’re ready to burn down the entire American system rather than yield to the Supreme Court’s ruling. Leading the charge are sitting members of Congress, people such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Maxine Waters. What they are demanding, and an army of activists is agreeing to do, is a classic insurrection.

Immediately upon learning about the ruling in Dobbs, Ocasio-Cortez was on the warpath:

“This decision: illegitimate,” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez yelled into a megaphone an activist was holding.

Following the declaration that the Supreme Court’s decision is “illegitimate,” AOC called on activists to take to the streets for mass protests, language that has sparked civil unrest throughout the United States in the past.

“Into the streets,” AOC chanted repeatedly outside the High Court. …

… Maxine Waters was also in an inciting kind of mood, with a masked Rep. Al Green’s silent approval. …

… There are a lot of people who are prepared to heed her call, people like Cameron Kasky, who attended Parkland High School on the day of the infamous shooting. He seems to have developed a taste for violence. …

… All these threats, of course, are illegal without a finding that they engaged in an insurrection. And I’m betting that by the time you read this, there will be many more such threats. There are also the demands for violent protests in the streets. …

… We already know from 2020 that these will not be peaceful protests. They will trash cars, smash windows, loot businesses, and burn things down.
