JEANINE PIRRO (CO-HOST): But, if you'll just indulge me for a minute. I read the decision at length, the Dobbs decision, as well as Roe again. Roe, they say, in this decision, is an exercise of "raw judicial power." In other words, it is a Supreme Court acting as a legislative body. And understand, that if this decision is ultimately the decision of the court, it doesn't outlaw abortion. All it says is, "We're saying it's not a constitutional right." Congress can pass a law. So, if Chuck Schumer is so fired up, pass a law, Chuck. Every state can pass its own law. They can -- you know -- they can negate it, they can ban it. They can promote it, whatever they want to do.
