[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deplorable that a bunch of white men, in the form of the Federalist Society, backed by billionaires, are on the cusp of stripping women in this country of their basic rights to control their own bodies.[/quote]

Organized, well-funded misogyny.

A lot of white women are very involved in the federalist society and the anti abortion movement. The question is where is the democrat organization like the federalist society? Why didn’t the dems reform the court when they had the chance? I think it is people like you who take the simplistic argument that it is just white men doing this that makes it easy for everyone to throw up their hands and walk away. Look behind the white men and you will find the white women who support and vote for them. [/quote]

The Dem equivalent to the Federalist Society is the American Constitution Society, of which former Sen. Russ Feingold is the Director. We can discuss whether it’s as effective as the Federalist Society or not and why, but it does exist.

Why didn’t Dems reform the court when they had the chance? Because they believed that they could control the court through normal methods - by winning elections and nominating/approving justices. The Dems never imagined that McConnell would obstruct a legitimately nominated SC justice for a year and even during that process thought that they would win electorally and be able to fix that obstructionism through the normal processes.

[b]Dems are fundamentally weaker than Republicans because they believe in the existing system and processes for change whereas the Republucans don’t and are this willing to blow government up in order to obtain, maintain and exercise power.[/b] [/quote]

100% accurate. And D's need to get their SH-- together. They completely blew it on the courts issue. And now SCOTUS is little more than a Delegation from the Vatican deciding our rights. [/quote]
