Exactly! Sorry guys, I’m a liberal dem. Used to be deeply involved in abortion rights. But I’m just sick of it. Y’all didn’t make it happen for Hillary. So this is what happens. Wake the F up. Even if you did vote for Hillary…if you’re white…I Fing guarantee you that you have family that voted for Trump. Get your house in order or STFU.


Yeah this is kind of where I’m at too.

WTF. I am a White woman (surburban! SAHM, too!) and I have NEVER voted for a fascist gooper in my life. You think I can control how my father and uncles voted? After about twelve of us ganged up on them, we got some to abstain from voting; I consider that a win.

+1 My former GOP convention attending delegate dad wrote in Paul Ryan in 2016 and I considered that a victory.


You guys who actually stopped horrifying men from voting for Trump are getting all offended. You did the right thing - good on you!

It was the “get your house in order or STFU” that’s offensive. You think we don’t try? You think it’s actually in our control? There’s a limit to what we can do; 70+ years of propaganda is hard to fix.

That said, f the GOP and anyone who votes for them.

That is now how this works. That is not how any of this works!

Look, I voted for Hillary and the rest of the Dems too, but you’re really not doing anything constructive here. Some of the women who will die as a result of this ruling voted the same way we did, and you should be ashamed of how blasé you’re being about that.


I am doing something constructive. I am pointing out the PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY of women - white women in particular given that like a HUGE MAJORITY OF WHITE MEN voted for Trump - need to get their sh!t in order.

I repeat myself. If your own family doesn’t respect your humanity - why do you expect others to? Maybe teach your family to respect you. It takes years. Education. Dedication. How the F do you think social change happens?? Take responsibility guys.

To make us all aware of this outrageous decision.


Outrageous to whom?

To the federal judges who testified under oath that this issue was settled law?

That is a victory. Any republican that stands up to trump is a victory at this point.

That decision was right. They allowed community flags, but banned the Christian flag, because it wasn’t inclusive enough. I’m an atheist, btw.

This may just be the issue that gets more Democrat voters to the polls and if enough show up, we can push back at the Christian fascists on the right.

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


Informed speculation on Twitter was a sotomayor clerk


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.


Who cares? The sooner SCOTUS figuratively implodes in on itself the better. If the last several years has made anything clear it's that we have put far too much trust for far too long in our "institutions" when what we really have is iterations of corruption echoing through every part of government.

You broke it, you bought it.


No kidding. I don't know what trust and collegiality has done for anyone. The court is in the clutches of hard right partisans who are all too happy to rubber stamp the GOPs theocratic fever dreams.

And BTW - anyone who has read the decisions that Thomas and Alito have vomited up since being on the bench will know neither of them care about the legitimacy of the court.

Seriously.

Where's the outrage over the highly politicized right-wing of the court? Over a justice's wife actively supporting insurrection?

I’m guessing a female clerk for a conservative justice leaked it. But whoever it was wants the opinion changed and is maybe hoping the backlash will get Roberts and someone else to flip so he can control the opinion.


Who knows? Maybe one of the clerk's was conceived with help from reproductive technologies and this feels like an existential threat?
