The left is ready to abandon Stacy Abrams after a single tweet about police salaries. We're way too fractured.
So hypothetically, if a supreme court justice or two were murdered by a mob of angry Americans, would Joe Biden be able to pick a replacement?
Not that I'm advocating for such a thing to happen, I'm just asking questions, y'know?

That doesn't matter because the other justices would just rule that the appointment was invalid anyway. There is no universe in which a 2016 Obama appointee would ever hear a single case
Most of the time they aren't even real rules or laws but like legislative decorum or some shit.
LBJ had one of the most lopsided majorities coming into office.
Raising awareness, I'll give you, but raising acceptance, I'll need to see some data on. The percentage of Americans who say they'd vote for a socialist President in 2019 was... well it was exactly the same as it was in 2015, pre-Trump. In that same time frame Americans became more accepting of the idea of a gay, atheist or Muslim presidents. All things they were more open to than a Socialist president in 2015 for that matter.
Not only is this terrible - but everyone that voted for this and said they wouldn't touch Roe in their hearing - just another example of how much of fucking liars they are.
Just in the last 10 years. 20-30 million people with healthcare that previously didn't have it. Free healthcare for millions in blue states. Preexisting condition protections and mandates to cover contraception. A supreme court that overturned gay marriage bans.
This isn't cynical, it's reality. People were already receiving emails about the ruling from shitty Dem fundraising campaigns early this morning.
Pretending that joining a topic of people grieving and panicking over the state of the country after a disastrous ruling by conservatives is a "productive" time to blame Democrats is disingenuous at best and blatantly lying at worst.
Absolutely insufferable.
Jane’s Revenge - InfluenceWatch
Jane’s Revenge is a far-left extremist group which claimed responsibility for an attack against an anti-abortion group’s office in Madison, Wisconsin, in May 2022 after leaks revealed that the U.S. Supreme Court was considering overturning the Roe v. Wade decision that found a constitutional...www.influencewatch.org
That is not what the Jane Collective did. They are just capitalizing on the name and running full speed in another direction.
They don't give a shit about kids, period. They care about forcing women to be pregnant. Nothing more, nothing less. It's all about maintaining fascist, misogynistic power structures and keeping women out of the workplace.
Codifying Roe v Wade was a campaign promise of his and he had 60 votes. He should be apologizing for fucking up
The democratic party is now thrilled to have something to run on and promise that this time if we vote hard enough, they will be able to do something.
I still vote, even in red state Utah I vote. But it's long past time the democratic party takes off the gloves and fucking does something. Or it only becomes even more crystal clear that they are just a token resistance party serving the same cynical interests.

people who didn't vote or protest voted in 2016 will try to wash their hands of this, putting little blame on the ones actively trying to overturn this.
The simple fact remains: If Scalia was replaced by Hillary, you wouldn't have to worry about this for decades. Never mind RBG and Breyer. It was not hidden. This was plainly obvious by holding up that seat on the Supreme Court.

Are you paying attention to the streets out here? You and I might know that Trump has the capacity of a lukewarm pot of spaghetti water, but that's no excuse to play blind to the reality that Trump keeps half this country convinced of his inane bullshit at any given point. Trump had Republicans eating out of his hands his entire damn presidency, and it still amounted to most of his agenda being doa.
That we have to go that far back to the concept of the "bully pulpit" being effective is testament to that. That idea should be considered as effective in modern politics as the President winning votes over beers and a gentlemen's game of cards.
It's so hard and confusing to watch this as someone outside of America. Like, on a daily basis you read the new stories stories and see stuff like this, and think that the way the people in charge have acted over the last few years is so blatantly evil that it's borderline parody, like how can what I am reading even be real?!
I really am sorry this is happening to you guys.

Technically yes
But the media would essentially demand he replace them with ideological clones and call him the real fascist if he doesn't want to.
Which they of course wouldn't do in reverse
His colors have always been known.
One cannot serve two masters.
You don't really think he was for the people when he proudly will pose in photo for and with his heritage.
One person called the police on himself and got stopped before he could do anything and the fuckers lept into action immediately. We even got people here saying it's "not the right way."
I mean, obviously I don't condone violence, but options are dwindling rapidly and civility is running low
Depends on how the law is worded. Folks can get into legal trouble if they help within the state.
I said it before but I'll say it again: White Male Heterosexual Evangelical Christian Supremists are who to blame for this! (I.E. Republicans).
Beyond fucked up.
As a Canadian I can't even feel secure in this sort of thing not happening to us (we don't have an equivalent to roe vs wade, just talking about conservative ideals taking over) since we are being swept up in the same shit movement, and I feel the scale tipping more every day.
Sometimes I think it'd be better if the planet just got scorched by a nearby gamma ray burst so something else could evolve and have a chance. Humans are the fucking worst.

Republicans would immediately hunt down a few more to restore the balance in their favor.
I wish you dopes would stop saying this stupid shit. The president doesn't draft the laws and he didn't have 60 pro-choice votes.
Yep. It's going to be a hot mess.
The Supreme Court is only involved because there is no law codifying access, leaving these decisions to Constitutional interpretation.
At no point in time did Obama have 60 votes to pass a federal abortion law
He did not have the votes in Congress for it. There were still anti-abortion dems in office in large swaths of the rural midwest and the ACA specifically had to make sure no federal dollars went to abortion to get their votes.
