All three branches? What the hell do you think the Supreme Court is? Republicans control the SCOTUS because of 2016 and will for years

Because 3 of the 6 appointees could've been Hillary's
I know everyone is upset, but I really can't see this having been the 'make or break' in this situation. After all the delaying on Obama's pick and rushing Trump's nominations it seems like it was going to happen one way or another. I know there isn't much they can do, but there needs to be strong focus from the Biden administration and democrats surrounding this or I do fear people will stop turning out to vote if it feels helpless.

I won't. The time for violence is now.
Nah, now they'll want it banned for all states and get rid of same-sex marriage and relationships.
Fucking pieces of shit, not from the US but feel sorry for all the people affected by these cunts' decisions.
This is just infuriating and while I don't understand US politics I imagine that there isn't much to do against it, although it's never bad to protest I guess, fucking hell.

It won't. Expect a big shift to massive target now to be painted on the back of transgender people (As if they weren't already in serious danger), then anyone who classes themselves as any form of LGBT once that foot is in the door, then god knows what, but it's going to be a fucking disaster.
Not enough people did in 2016. You have to vote in every election, even when the candidates aren't your preferred choices. I still see too many people on here doing purity tests
No one gets angry at that. People get angry because you don't know what you're talking about, and this has been explained to you across multiple threads and multiple times.

Probably time to take advantage of our lax gun laws. I don't think protesting is going to do anything. I'll probably catch a ban for this but, honestly, no republican mind has ever been changed by a march and a sign.
Nope. They already gave up saying it's not even an option. Dems being their usual scared shits as usual
Yep, now they're coming for the LGBTQ community, and doing whatever they can to make sure women are forced to have babies. I'm not so sure they wouldn't come for interracial marriage now either.
I'm not blaming Dems at all, but now would be a perfect opportunity to do everything they can to get the word out about how important voting in the mid-terms is. Because this is just the start of the avalanche of rights being taken away from anyone that's not a straight, white, Christian male.

They would not have been. Mitch would've stalled the whole thing. He was doing it already. Mitch changed the game. For the worse. GOP doesn't care about playing fair. Trump is crass, but the GOP has been playing this way since Gingrinch.
This decision will empower conservative movements all over the world, overturning decades of battles and victories to protect everyone's rights. It's basically Star Wars IX applied to the real world.
People marching on the streets might not be enough to show this Supreme Court that they're going towards the opposite direction of History. But it's a start.

A future court can change it. Also national legislation could change it.
What will you specifically be doing? Or just grand standing on a forum?
We need people in the streets shutting down all activity, especially government, for weeks after this. Impossible to ignore demonstrations. We need to tell them we won't stand for this but we will forget it by July 4th sadly
With a new case in front of a Supreme Court that's not full of pieces of shit. Precedent doesn't mean shit.
You mean the one where the winner didn't get more votes? Because we have an inherently undemocratic method of government? Clearly my vote in Connecticut didn't do anything despite returning an entire slate of Democratic representatives and electors at every stage

I agree with you. The time to be nice has ended. The evil people in power need to be shown the consequences of their actions.
"If [Hillary] gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people—maybe there is, I don't know..." -Donald Trump, 8/9/2016
I kinda want this country to burn to the ground now. The right-wingers are gonna be fucking insufferable.
we're beyond the need to just march and complain at this point but a lot of people will still be too comfortable going forward to agree
Same people saying this are calling for abolishing the filibuster which would literally hinge those rights on every election.
Elections obviously has consequences, but we need to have a conversation as to why an institution like the Supreme Court can overthrow the will of the people so easily in the first place and why other branches of the government are seemingly powerless against it.
This happened because republican voters voted in lockstep for decades and they were able to continually chip away at their goals. "Neoliberals" aren't pushing this insanity. Blame the actual people doing this shit for once.
I believe the states would have to enact their own laws about this.
Also, if a whole new roster of Supreme Court Justices review this and overturn this ruling themselves lol
Yup. The right-wing has tasted blood and flesh and they crave more. They'll toss these out, they'll toss affirmative action out, they'll restrict whatever constitutes "CRT" in education, they'll loosen labor laws. And then they'll just keep going from there. They'll always find something else, and if it doesn't exist they'll make something up.
The downward spiral is unprecedented and because of it most Americans won't see it coming. Godspeed to the rest of y'all.
All its going to take is one state passing a law saying gay marriage is illegal again. Hell I'm sure Texas is already writing it up.
