There is no constitutional right to abortion. It should be a state decision.

It should be none of your business.

Wasn't there just a thread asking how Republicans can get more women voters?

Probably a SC liberal law clerk for sure. To stir up trouble and get judges threatened.

Informed speculation on Twitter was a sotomayor clerk

NO surprise there

That’s what they’re going towards.

As mealy mouthed “moderates” (Republicans and Independents who like to pretend that they’re above the fray) keep mealy mouthing, fascism gets its claws in.

But, one point of light:

We need to destroy the fascists in this country. We need to make sure that there are criminal referrals for things like lying in one’s Supreme Court hearing.

I don't know how the new, post-2020 census redistricting will affect it, but Democrats need a substantial lead in that kind of poll to actually take/keep control of Congress due to extreme Republican gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering after the 2020 census went extraordinarily well for Democrats. There are details in the 2022 House of Representatives thread.

I've seen speculation all over the place for several different purposes.

There's agreement that this hurts the Court, the trust and collegiality of the justices. Badly.

Exactly! Which is why you don't want a Federal law, dummy

Hope who leaked is disbarred pronto. And if a Justice leaked it then oh my. I am guessing they will polygraph and get to the bottom of this. Whether you are for or against abortion is horrible. Sad day.

Nah. This was so dumb. What’s the point? Honestly, took the wind out of the sails of the real headline we would have gotten in June. Seriously, this was a dumb leak.

It was to give people time to prepare. Healthcare providers, advocates. It had to be done.

I appreciate this disclure letting us know that we have a SCOTUS dragging us towards a far-right theocracy. This constitutional right was struck down because of "Christian history and tradition"

You do know that abortion will go to the states. It's not being outlawed

Outlawing this will be HR1 and S1 if the GOP wins the House and Senate. Silly to pretend otherwise.

You're in the minority full stop.

The vast majority of Americans do not believe the government should be making health care decisions for you.
