Thomas has a son with his first wife.

Nervously crapping their pants.

Look at the walkback from routine right wing firebrands like Blackburn and Cornyn - it's all good, it just means the states can decide, no one is, uh, talking about, uh anything crazy.

[Narrator - they were indeed talking about a lot of things crazy]

I predict the first ban on certain contraception is on the books by September.

Some of us can't have kids, and decide not to adopt. I think it's mighty white of both of them to start on taking away birth control and probably causing IVF to be in jeopardy.

Just because I couldn't have kids doesn't mean I want to force others to, or prevent them from getting IVF.

Well, you sound like a good person. I’m convinced some people are infertile because their hearts are too black and their blood too vile. When other people - particularly their perceived inferiors - have what they can’t, they go vindictive and ragey.

But I’d be surprised if Clarence and Ginny were having sex at all. Marriage of convenience between a pervert with porn and side pieces and his asexual beard.

I am convinced Ginny Thomas is a man

This motherf&cker needs to be impeached. He and his wife are criminals, he has no business on the court.

because the Fertility Industry and the Adoption Industry rely on Upper Middle Class clients and what the egg heads who wanted abortion banned so bad don't realize is that the ONLY result of this SCOTUS decision will be:

1) lots of AA babies overwhelming up foster care because anti-choice rednecks are not going to adopting their forced births

2) massive voting by every woman 18 and older in America to elect a Dem Controlled Senate/ House

Not sure that number 2 will happen, especially in red states where it can be difficult to access polling stations if you do not have a car. How is someone working a minimum wage job and trying to look after kids going to take a day off to go to the polls?

LOL. She's 65 and was probably infertile the whole time anyway. She's a poster girl for PCOS. Fat and tall and big boned.

32% of white but only 28% of Black children living in poverty

https://www.nccp.org/publication/child-poverty-and-intergenerational-mobility/

64% of abortions are for white people.

Numerically, there are more white Americans in poverty than black Americans or members of any other race or ethnic group. In 2014, 19.6 million white, non-Hispanic Americans were living in poverty, compared with 10.2 million black Americans, 2.3 million Asian Americans, and 13.4 million Hispanic Americans of any race.

^^ ppl forget most people in poverty are white. most kids out of wedlock are white.

Jesus. Don't use Black babies and their moms as some kind of statistical pawn in this horrific game. Black women cherish and love their kids just like all humans do and they certainly aren't going around getting pregnant and giving birth with the intent of "overwhelming up foster care." The plurality of kids in foster care are white, btw. Look, I'm as furious at the rednecks as anybody and I've got plenty in my own family - I grew up a white girl in Missouri for God's sake - but this kind of vicious talk is wrong, cruel, and unproductive.

But yes, we need to vote the bastards out in a giant wave. If they let us vote.

The concept of substantive due process was prominently argued in Dred Scott.

Can you summarize what substantive due process or give a link to an explanation?

In its most basic sense it’s a judicial construct derived from the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment, incorporated into the Fourteenth, that is supposed to protect individuals against government actions that exceed their constitutional or legislative authority. It’s the underpinning of the “undue burden” standard in the Casey decision.

Pp here. Thx. So, the premise is (or I guess “was”) that substantive due process means the government cannot interfere with people rights to freedom, liberty, privacy to marry someone of the same sex, have an abortion, use contraception, etc. Then if Thomas is arguing that doesn’t exist wouldn’t that mean there are no limits on government’s ability to interfere?? That doesn’t seem very “conservative”.

No. Thomas thinks these issues should be decided by legislatures as was intended by the founders. The left has really caused their own problems using the court to accomplish what they didn’t want to bother to have to work through Congress. And here’s the result. Enjoy.
