Majority Leader SenSchumer and Senate Minority LeaderMcConnell are trading blows over the leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
Top Republicans, including McConnell, have argued that the unprecedented leak is problematic and part of a Democratic pressure campaign to get justices to change their votes. Democrats counter that the GOP is using the leak as a diversion to avoid discussing what the conservative majority is doing with regard to abortion.
Schumer in turn slammed McConnell’s response, vowing to bring legislation to the floor to codify access to abortions. “They do not want to focus on Roe. I heard that Mitch McConnell was asked if you're proud that you got Roe repealed, and he wouldn't even answer 'yes' or 'no.' They spent a decade — two decades trying to repeal Roe, and now they won't own up to it," Schumer added."They're like the dog that caught the bus. They know they're on the wrong side of history.
