It's not fearmongering. It's a statement of fact. We are now living under the tyranny of an illegitimate activist right wing Supreme Court that has lied to the American people, and which CAN NOT BE TRUSTED. That was solidly PROVEN with the Dobbs decision. NOTHING can be left to precedent.

All the more reason to get the legislative branch to pass all the legislation you want instead of either side using the courts to do what might be unpopular with the public at a given time.[/quote]

Which is EXACTLY what the current Dem-controlled Congress is trying to do.  But as soon as they do, the Republican-controlled states will run whinging to the Supreme Court that marriage should be a local decision left to the States.  And the Supreme Court will agree with them.  
However, when Dem states try to pass reasonable gun control, the Republican gun nuts run to the Supreme Court yelling "Second Amendment" and the Supreme Court agrees with them.  (Apparently that phrase "well-regulated" doesn't seem to mean anything any more . . .)
Bottom line is that this Court is SO politicized that they will twist themselves into illogical, precedent-severing knots in order to support whatever the far right wants.

What the Dems should do FIRST is pass Court reform.  Terms of 18 years or age 72 whichever comes first.  Clarify that when a president sends a nomination the Senate needs to vote it up or down in 45 days and a failure to act will be deemed approval.  Create some recusal standards since it is obvious that scoundrels like Clarence Thomas won't self-police themselves.  [/quote]

If only a certain geriatric justice retired the last time there was a democrat in the presidency instead of making it all about her [/quote]
If only the GOP didn’t keep stealing seats. If your busted down party had any decency at all, they wouldn’t have sat the handmaiden while people were actively voting. But you’re cheating sacks of crap who only “win” by cheating.[/quote]

I’m a democrat and blame her. At least Breyer managed to not die. The republicans doing this was almost as obvious as democrats’ ineffectual response [/quote]
