“In my mind, the idea that this was based in any kind of reasoned debate or philosophical education — the Supreme Court is now the Fox News of justice in my mind,” Stewart said. “This was a desire in search of a rationale.
“It is a cynical pursuit in the same way that Fox News would come out with ‘We’re fair and balanced’ under the patina of what would be a high-status pursuit to the betterment of society, journalism. They are a cynical political arm.”
Stewart also criticized the U.S. Senate confirmation process to approve nominated Justices to the Court, in which a number of the Justices had claimed to view Roe v. Wade as established precedent.
“When you look at the ridiculous Kabuki theatre now of Justice confirmation, where they can just go out there and just f**king lie,” he said. “Like, if this were about debate, then they would’ve understood what ‘perjury’ meant.”

He added again, “But they are now the Fox News of justice. I mean, there is no consistency. States can’t regulate guns, but they can regulate [uteruses], you know?”
Stewart said of the conservative Justices and the Republican Party, “They have an ideology and they are retrofitting it with legal scholarship.”

“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert always has a lot of politics in his opening monologues, but on Wednesday night, he took aim at a (fictional) body that governs fast food.“America is changing so fast. Every day seems to bring shocking news that radically unsettles what we believe this country should be. And it’s happened again, because Taco Bell’s latest tostada features a giant Cheez-It,” Colbert said as he opened his show.His comments were met with laughs from the audience as he mimed what it might be like to eat one of Taco Bell’s newest culinary creations (which translated to: this looks good; yum, yum, yum; followed by breaking wind).The late night funnyman produced a picture of the new menu item, which looks like the inside of a taco atop the biggest Cheez-It known to humankind.“Behold! The snack of madness.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 24 ruling, which took away the nationwide right to an abortion, and a weekend full of outrage and protests, late-night television hosts responded Monday.
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThe BET Awards are officially a celebration of “Black excellence,” and Sunday night’s show featured blockbuster performances from Lizzo, Mariah Carey, Latto, Jack Harlow (who was joined by Brandy and Lil Wayne) and an elaborate tribute to Lifetime Achievement honoree Sean “Diddy” Combs that included an unannounced in-person speech from Kanye West.But for the second time in three years, the show coincided with galvanizing events in the United States: In 2020, it was George Floyd’s murder at the hands of Minneapolis police and the ensuing the Black Lives Matter protests, and this year it was the Supreme Court’s polarizing overturn of Roe v. Wade and the impending loss of a woman’s right to choose in many states in the country.

Last Week Tonight yesterday (June 26), Oliver called the decision “absolutely horrifying”, adding: “It is hard to stomach some of the gleeful responses right now. You don’t get a holiday to celebrate the loss of rights for millions of people when you already have one, and it’s called Columbus Day.”The presenter noted: “Even when planned, pregnancy is, best cast scenario, a major medical event that rips open your butt, rips out your organs and then puts them in wrong.”He added: “The idea that you can simply seek another abortion in another state is insulting on its face even before you consider that some lawmakers are already openly looking for ways to punish out-of-state abortions.”Oliver also suggested that the US was now in “uncharted territory” rather than the days before Roe v.

President Joe Biden is addressing the Supreme Court‘s decision.
Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaPresident Biden called the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and end a federal right to an abortion “a sad day for the [Supreme] court and for the country” and said it will cast a “dark shadow” over a large swath of the U.S.In an address from the White House shortly after the bombshell ruling was made public, the president said that the court “expressly took away a constitutional right from the American people,” adding, “that’s never been done to a right so important to so many Americans, but they did it.”The final opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, repudiated a 1973 decision which guaranteed constitutional protections for abortion rights.
