I'm still going through it now. So far no.Maybe I need to read it, but is stare decisis addressed in the opinion?

Exactly. They say they will fight and fold the second a republican pushes back. Cowards.Really looking forward to donation emails from Democrats who actually aren't doing anything while Republicans tear the country to cinders.
None of the Justices who voted this should see a moment's peace.
No of course not. But nothing needs to be said about them - it should be generally assumed that they are evil people. I can't do too much about that, so I was hoping that the people who could, would. Alas.
Yes. And quite possibly contraceptives.
I have a theory. Everyone seems to think this leak came from someone who disagreed with the opinion and wanted to let everyone know.
But consider:
This morning there was reporting out that Republicans were planning their very first bill, after they take back congress, to be to make abortion illegal across the country and they would nuke the filibuster to do it.
I think a conservative Justice leaked the vote and draft opinion to Republicans in congress, which obviously further leaked from there.
And they're all two million years old. Maybe saying that is ageist but its a huge problem, no one should be able to serve that long.You're shocked that a bunch of white conservatives voted to make life worse for minorities?
When people post that kind of thing, I always wonder what their number is.imagine
imagine in a thread about one of the fundamental women's rights being attacked, and all you can post about is Student Loans?
The only mass protest that politicians sorta kinda cared about in recent memory before that shit was dropped about were the 1/6 riots because those fuckers actually breached the Capitol and posed a physical threat. I learned very quick from going out in the streets those two summers ago that while it makes a very nice show, and it gets international attention, the fact is American politicians don't actually care in the long run about protests because they know for a fact that they can wait the heat out and avoid the consequences.
Yes the system is rigged
Yes by and large people voted for Hillary
But we need more people to do their part to beat the odds. We failed when it wasn't guaranteed that we would fail.
Fine, change it. But until it is changed you know the rules, you know the game, the blame is the people. Full stop. When the game is changed, great.
Civil rights bout to be on the chopping block next. If you think that's hyperbole you've been asleep the past 200 years
tomorrow is going to be an entire wall to wall shitshow on every facet of media

Our system is broken to just about beyond repair. We're now experiencing the fallout from a country whose outdated election laws have led to a government that doesn't represent a majority of its citizens.Wtf is happening in America? I didn't think it was at this point over there.

Oh, ok.We didn't fail, though. The system was rigged.
What a silly thing to say lol. 'The game is rigged, so obviously until it becomes unrigged, the people playing the rigged game are to blame. Not the game that is rigged. It'll be cool when it's changed.' Like I said, you're basically just double-speaking. You want to attack someone, but want to also acknowledge they also don't have the power to be worthy of attack. You can't have it both ways.
Lol
Mm. They've voted against their self-interest before. Not relying on their instincts
Every Republican is a piece of shit, we've gone back 50 steps for no reason but their ego.
Fucking pathetic. Just pathetic. The government hasn't worked for us for 40 years, since Reagan and we just let it happen. This past decade has made everyone more poor and sick and nobody is doing anything to kick everyone out and start over.
So tired of this bullshit. Fuck Biden too, every Democrat is a coward.
At the moment? Nothing. Joe Manchin is from one of the reddest states in the country so if he does get primaried he will probably be replaced with someone as bad if not worse than him. All we can do is keep voting and gaining more seats in the senate.And there is literally no way around that? I feel like there has to be a way to vote them out or something.

Well, then, speaking candidly...I would just urge you to consider time and place.
As someone who does a lot of activist work and GOTV work, I will say in my experience this has been an extreme failure of the far left? Simple and basic tact?
Not every moment is an opportune one to shit on Democrats.
As opposed to what?
Got some breath for the Republicans who are responsible for this? Or are we supposed to join in on shitting on the only opposition?
Everyone who would be both willing and able to go for that is dead, in jail, or sold out long ago for some sweet college tenure/book deals.Violent revolution. Which should be the response happening right now.
But that will just politicize the sacred integrity of the court!
Do people really expect record protests will come from this?
This issue is less marketable and less visible than the George Floyd killing and we'll have less open enemies than the police who can be trusted to commit police brutality and exacerbate the issue further. We'll have a hard as fuck time getting something close to the 2020 protests (which also failed)
No I think it is. This could've been prevented. Hell it still can be! But nothing will be done.
Yup.I know it's been said before, but the 2016 election will fuck us over for like two generations. And here in 2022, people will still find reasons to not vote as if voting for the lesser evil is somehow a better outcome than letting true evil win.
I, for one, am not going to expend all my anger at this decision* posting about it on the internet and yelling at fellow blue voters. I plan on attending any protests, marches, sit-ins, etc., I possibly can and fight this thing. It's the only other option besides acquiescing into defeatism.
How about you?
* Yes, """""not official yet""""", I know.
