It is not clear what is occurring with Omicron in the USA, but, the world is going to suffer terribly, especially countries where there are far fewer of the people vaccinated. I am concerned about the world's elderly at this point.
President Biden will be the hero to the American people by insisting they all be vaccinated. He is saving lives and this virus could have done at least as much damage to the USA as the original COVID-19 if so many hadn't been vaccinated. Lives are still in the balance and the number of cases of illness, albeit not severe, may still cripple the economy.

“Frankly, omicron (click here) will dominate and overwhelm the whole world in three to six months,” Singapore doctor Leong Hoe Nam told CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia.”
New vaccines targeting omicron are a “nice idea” but won’t be practical because of the transmissibility of the strain, he said.
Experts don’t know exactly how contagious the highly mutated omicron variant is, but the virus’ spike protein — which binds to human cells — has mutations associated with higher transmission and a decrease in antibody protection....
What is the symbiosis? Money. Money comes into the Federalist Society and money goes out. Where to? The Republicans running for office. It may be the biggest donor next to the Kochs.
So, with Leonard able to influence political choice, he also attracts ambitious men and women that want a permanent paycheck on the USA Supreme Court.
IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY. Either giving it to a power broker or receiving it in one fashion or another.
This is the dynamics at play with the five crackpot judges. They feel they need to LEND their loyalities to Leonard and make his organization the strongest politically for Republicans.
Cozy. Imagine being involved with a supposedly social society organization and be guaranteed a salary of 6 or 7 figures simply by owning the Supreme Court and it's future.
Leonard (click here) is Co-Chairman and former Executive Vice President of the Federalist Society, joining the organization over 25 years ago. Since that time he has been instrumental in helping the organization top 70,000, focusing on the growth of lawyers membership, operations and activities advancing limited, constitutional government. In addition to his work at the Society, Leonard has advised President Trump on judicial selection, assisted with the Gorsuch and Kavanaugh Supreme Court selection and confirmation process, and served as a member of the transition team. He also organized the outside coalition efforts in support of the Roberts and Alito U.S. Supreme Court confirmations. Leonard was appointed by President George W. Bush to three terms to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom as chairman. He was also a U.S. Delegate to the UN Council and UN Commission on Human Rights during the Bush Administration. Leonard was the recipient of the 2009 Bradley Prize, along with the other founders and directors of the Federalist Society, for his work in advancing freedom and the rule of law. He is the coeditor of Presidential Leadership: Rating the Best and the Worst in the White House, as well as the author of opinion editorials in the New York Times,The Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. Leonard holds degrees from Cornell University and Cornell Law School. He presently resides in Northern Virginia, where he and his wife Sally have raised their seven children.
Their so called "strength" in changing direction on Roe v. Wade based in their religious fervor and professional affiliations with the Federalist Society (click here), is based on vocabulary words and not the experience of the American people.
We all know that women seek abortions regardless of it's legality and they fall into the hands of backstreet butchers. Those are the facts regarding the presedent of Roe v. Wade. If the Supreme Court changes direction ON THE SCIENCE that means this is offically a Banana Republic.
Law isn't about words, as the Crackpot Conservative judges believe is their right to manipulate. It is about citizens. The law is always about people and primarily it should protect in all its words the rights of innocent citizens. There are laws that are supposed to protect citizens in the practice of business and in protecting their very lives. But, what we know is that there are two sides to every story and that is the beauty of the USA Constitution. It is not absolute in it's authority as demonstrated by the Fifth Amendment and the right to Due Process.
The most dramatic example of "fairness" in law is exactly at the time of sentencing of a murderer. People from past come forward to speak to the crime the murderer committed. Due to that aspect of sentencing the law tempers the punishment to fit the crime.
A good example recently is the attempted coup on January 6, 2021. The people are stating they were asked by the former president to overturn the electoral process to prevent the peaceful change of president. The people of those CRIMES are going before judges and coming away with varying sentences. Some strong and some weak, but, many of those involved in that uprising to benefit Trump were from "normal" backgrounds. The weaker assignment of law to some of the people is due to the fact this is their first unlawful act and confess they did it for the wrong reasons. Basically, they are telling the judges they are sorry for their misconduct and it will never happen again. The judges have no reason to dismiss those pleadings.
But, as to Roe v. Wade.
To begin, a fetus is not a human being or a citizen of the USA until it is born. Fetuses cannot obtain viability until 24 weeks at the earliest. At that point there are some state laws that allow an abortion clinic to bring a viable life into the world and place it on life support to allow a neonatal unit to complete the growth of the fetus. Upto that point, a fetus is not viable and therefore it is the woman's body that has the strongest majority of rights at that point. A woman's body should always come first before a fetus. Always, without exception. There have been some dramatic births of women killed or dead due to accidents and the babies are still born to their families.
No girl grows up thinking there is a potential of dying from childbirth or carry a pregnancy to term because a law is judging them morally according to church doctrine. A girl has dolls to play with thinking this is the happy moment my Mommy had with me. When women become pregnant by MISTAKE that does not mean their lives are changed forever, because, there is no hiding a full term pregnancy and their lives can be adversely effected from that reality alone. If the pregnancy is unwanted then it is the right of the woman to end that pregnancy as it is a medical condition that will have it's way with her, both physically and emotionally. Unwatned pregnancy can have a strong negative impact on a woman's life.
I don't want to hear, but, they can give the baby up for adoption. That happens regularly. Children are abandoned to orphanages until they are adopted, if at all. If that is the choice of a parent to give up their children for their own reasons, that is legal in the USA. But, all to often when women speak about the children they gave up for adoption, they conclude that the "not knowing" is always on their conscience. So, even when children are surrendered for adoption their presence in the world is still felt by the birth parents. It is a rare occassion that a birth parent simply doesn't care about knowing the child at any time in the future. We always hear about child finding their birth parents and it is a cathartic to them. Really? I didn't know the child was wounded.
Roe v. Wade removed the idea that laws could minister moral judgement on women. It allowed a woman to own her life autonomously and even if in a bad marriage whereby she faced or faces abuse on a regular basis.
The American people love pregnant women and love babies when born, there is no reason for a law to judge a woman about her willingness to give birth to a new citizen. A woman has a right to maintain her health and well being from any condition that could alter her happiness and/or her life and lifestyle. It is not easy to go through a pregnancy alone and quite frankly, to solely carry a fetus to full term if 280 days or 40 weeks without a spouse or partner is difficult. There are times, especially with other children already in the family, that life becomes impossible to manage alone.
So, the issue of Roe v. Wade is enormous, including judgements against parents for child support. It is about women and their right to their own bodies. It is about privacy between a woman and her doctor. Ultimately, it is about the burden of an unwanted pregnancy and a woman's happiness. Women are allowed to be happy and have a family and/or career, but, it is their choice and no one else's choice. That is enormous and is the promise of the democratic freedoms guaranteed to all Americans.
There are currently no reasons to review the precedent of Roe v. Wade. It is settled precedent and should remain so.
Women in the USA have great potential that benefits our laws and our economy. Currently, women seeking to be part of government, on the average, enter into that potential ten years behind men simply because they are pregnant and raising a family.
First abortion will be 14 weeks and then it will be six and then abortion will be outlawed plunging women into prison to obtain their infants. (ie: The then Cheyenne Kupper (a practicing Wiccan) vs New Hanover County DSS) DSS won by threatening to remove all future pregnancies from her should she take the full length of time to fight their power. The babies were harvested and given to a childless couple that was expecting Cheyenne to go to prison for 30 years for human traffiking. The supposed woman being traffiked went to the father's attorney to state there was no traffiking that occured as she was homeless and they gave her shelter and a job helping in the household. Cheyenne wasn't guilty, achieved that status through a plea agreement in order to attempt to be with her children for the rest of her life and ultimately lost all of them because of the threat from New Hanover County DSS. The assistant prosecutor handling the case was running for office and gained notoriety through the arrests.
They absolutely threatened her against the fate of future pregnancies. When a government worker who is responsible for the well being of a woman's children while she is fighting to have them back, tell that woman she will never have custody of children again, there is more than the threat taking place, there is a deep, abiding fear of the "judicial system" that takes over and complete demoralization of a person just experiencing injustice and prison becomes a new reality to the power over her and the faith she has known from when she was a child. This taking of the twin (one boy and one girl) infants was religious bigotry and the desire for employees of a county agency to keep their jobs otherwise lose faith in their ability to place infants with families enrolled in the Foster Parent to Custodial Parent program.
There is systemic government abuse now, just imagine it when the Supreme Court tells a woman what she can do with her body.

On Wednesday, (click here) the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — the first frontal, explicit challenge to Roe v. Wade in almost 30 years. Roe is the 1973 decision holding that women have a constitutional right to decide to have an abortion before viability, usually around 24 weeks. The last time the court was asked to overrule Roe, in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, it reaffirmed women’s right to decide when and whether they have children....
Very cute, the Supreme Court with the only female justice in history at that point, was the radicalized political court, according to Chief Justice Cruz.
SEN. TED CRUZ: (click here) "Well, listen, unfortunately with the left, when it comes to abortion, they’ve gotten more and more radical. You see that with the questioning of Justice Sotomayor, where she is suggesting that to protect a life is somehow taking a religious view. For most of human history, life has been protected. And if you look at where the court really started to go wrong, the 1973 decision of Roe v. Wade started the Supreme Court down this very dangerous road of being deeply, deeply politicized. What the justices said in Roe is, ‘You silly voters, you don’t have a right to make any decisions regulating abortions. It doesn’t matter what you may vote to do, what your citizens vote to do…We nine unelected judges are going t decree the rules for you."
...Women’s health and women’s reproductive health (click here) are high priorities for CDC’s Division of Reproductive Health. Our goal is to improve women’s health from menarche through menopause. CDC/DRH activities focus primarily on research about the following: Contraception (birth control), Depression, Hysterectomy, Female Genital Mutiliation/Cutting, Infertility and Menopause.
