I love your post so much. It's so spot on.
Honestly will not be surprised if one or more assassinations happen in the next couple years.
That's exactly what I'm expecting to. It'll essentially be his gun control speech from a few weeks ago which really came down to "This sucks, but the only way to fix it is to vote, unless congress actually does something about it". The sad thing is that I don't really know what else he could do; he (and Pelosi) aren't wrong.
I should almost certainly know this, but I thought SCOTUS had to have a new case come up to overturn previous precedent. Can they seriously just overturn decided cases at their whim?
I'm just saying Hillary's pied piper strategy probably had little to do with Trump winning the nomination. What is your point if not to say that her actions made Trump the nominee?
When it's been clear as the sun for anyone to see for years, you better believe I'll point fingers as the people who chose to ignore it.
I am aware. The problem is fixing SCOTUS can not happen otherwise.

Abortions in Texas have stopped after Attorney General Ken Paxton said pre-Roe bans could be in effect, clinics say
Paxton and some anti-abortion activists are arguing that state laws that banned abortion before Roe v. Wade — and were never repealed — could now be in effect in Texas.

With the end of Roe, Texans will have to travel long distances for legal abortions
New Mexico is expected to become a “haven state” where abortion remains legal and largely accessible. That state has six abortion clinics and is gearing up for an influx of patients. The nearest clinic there is a 12-hour drive from Houston and a 10-hour drive from Dallas.

Indeed. What he is actually doing is broadcasting a signal to conservatives to start challenging these cases in the lower courts because the highest court is basically just waiting for the opportunity to overturn them.
I don't think the majority of those in this forum really get how incredibly horrifying this is.
My daughter and I now have less rights than a corpse. We are officially second class citizens, with no right to make decisions over our own bodies. And worse is glimmering on the horizon.
I just...I'm so fucking devastated. And most of the people want to argue about fault and score points.

I know gutless liberals don't want to hear it because they just want to turn the other cheek while their freedoms erode to unelected fascists that don't care, but at this point the only answer is violence. You have to actually be willing to defend your rights.
She also recently backed Rashia Tlaib. Pelosi backs members of her caucus, period.
The biggest lie some of the left have allowed themselves to be duped into believing is that voting is a power that only they have. And that the right only represents stasis. No; Republicans are very much the reversal of progress.
Can you get asylum in a state to avoid prosecution in another state?
One party is ineffectual and flaccid, with the occasional good moment.
The other is calculated evil working to harm people.
Gee I wonder who to blame.
It did which is a very good thing.
I'm not optimistic about protests doing anything substantial in general. I guarantee you I put more work into my community than the vast majority of folks here. I'm not lazy or a coward, just not optimistic.
And it's okay to not be optimistic or to think the sky is falling right now. We just received horrible news.
Chuds call team red RINOs and shit all the time. They just have better politicians like McConnel who actually believe the shit they say. Meanwhile most dems are in office for the paycheck.
This is a bullshit purity argument.
She backed *hundreds* of pro-choice candidates (and EVERY SINGLE LEFTIST DEMOCRAT IN THE HOUSE). She whipped her party to successfully pass a bill in the House to codify Roe vs Wade (and then some).
Her stance on the issue of abortion is crystal clear, and posts like this absolutely misrepresent it.
Yes, that's absolutely the game plan. It's why this option to overturn Roe was "leaked" in the first place. It was to garner support and signal that the Court is willing and ready to make these decisions.
This was a case reviewing a Mississippi law outlawing abortion
Elections are and always have been to prevent catastrophe. Vote against catastrophy no matter how angry it makes you.
The far left also helped fascists take over Weimar Germany. History is rhyming here and we're in for dark years unless something changes
They can do whatever they want. It's about power, not principle.
If I were father in the any of the red states I would get the fuck out now if you have the means.
Yeah. That is a really good point, but I feel like this always leads to the idea of the left getting more moderate than progressive. Shit is tiring ;(
What a fucking disgrace, there is literally no fucking argument in favor of taking away the option
This are the same shitty assholes who then give no fucks about what happens after the baby is born, there are even a lot of the shitty people who are antiabortion have taken them in secret

Demographic change and blowback from younger and progressive people. Conservatives have been steadfast in their agenda for decades. There is no class consciousness in this country and we are the least engaged electorate because our material conditions have only become more and more oppressive through liberal economic policies.
We need a general strike to affect change, but people don't even understand their own labor power to do it.
And I'm saying making it a campaign could literally also not make it happen but outright male them lose significantly
You'd think that left leaning people would be good at understanding and utilizing the power of unity. But obviously the reason the right hates unions so much is because they understand the power they have. It's just a cruel irony that since they understand that power they've been able to utilize it so well for themselves.
Little as in her media allies being on various network thinking trump was a good thing is little to you.
I don't agree with your notion of impact either. Her actions didn't help herself or her campaign.
She had plenty of other actions that didn''t help her out. I've called out her poorly run campaign on not visting MI or Wi at all.
The consequences of putting so much power into the hands of unelected septuagenarians and octogenarians with lifelong terms. Can't wait for the horrible headlines to come. Maybe the teachers will have to teach while strapped with a nine!
Last I checked, you said "folks like you". That would seem to be folks that aren't terribly optimistic about protests like said poster.
if we don't know why it happened, how can we do anything to fix it?
On a local level I'm supporting abortion funds/mutual aid, on a federal level it's gonna take the dems pulling their heads out of their asses.
I've voted for them in every fucking election for almost 30 years so please don't tell me to vote.
He wouldn't be "a sitting Supreme Court judge". Garland's term would have expired on January 3, leaving a new vacancy for Trump to fill when he took office.
I'm all for playing hardball, but you can't play hardball without a ball, and Obama didn't have a ball.
Yes, I am sure about that.

In fact, this kind of thing is a decent sign that progress has been made. It's an eternal fight and we're seeing a conservative backlash because progress was made. The one positive note is that despite conservative efforts, every change is permanent in some way and you can never really go back. So despite their victories today, the progress we made with Roe and in the 50 years since irrevocably changed the country and their attempts to backtrack will never fully succeed.
If you're constantly told by your peers and pop culture that your voice doesn't matter, and then you're only pushed to vote when the party needs you to, it can make anyone cynical. It's not right, it's not fair, but it's there.
That's not what they've been doing though. In recent rulings they've been very surgically going after rules that haven't been codified and norms that relied on the spirit of the law instead of the letter. Most of the rulings they've handed down, including overturning Roe, could be fixed by something (technically) as easy (though not practically) as just passing the law that states it instead of relying onperceived rights, like privacy. Which coincidentally is also how they'll dismantle gay rights and even things as unthinkable as contraception and interracial marriage.
