I don't mind constitutional Supreme Court justices. I'm pro-choice. I'm pro a real change that really protects women and a court decision isn't it. We need a federal law.

I say, yes, get rid of Roe v Wade and Gert something real on the books.

Not going to happen. The entire point of the GOP is to grind the gears of government to a halt because THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOVERNMENT.

They want a free-for-all.

You're wishing for unicorns sparkle ponies.

The planet that elected Trump and all that he begot.

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.

YUP. All these idiots who still associate with Trumpers. If you didn’t cut dear old dad out of your life in 2016, I hope they come after your IVF stat.

Not all the embryos make it. This is on the chopping block.

Let’s get to that after Clarence Thomas’s conflicts of interest and possible involvement in the GOP’s attempt to overthrow the government get addressed.

Yup. Put it in the queue. We have quite the backlog.

Many millions more care about the opinion. The opinion must be reacted to and the rights it is stripping away must be battled for anew.

You do understand that if this decision is what is ultimately advanced, it does not outlaw abortion, right?
It simply returns the decision to the states.
Perhaps our laws will become more in line with the majority of advanced countries around the globe.... placing limits on when a woman can get an abortion.

You mean a draft opinion that is part of a lengthy deliberatively process within the Court before a final opinion is ultimately voted on and released? You mean that draft opinion?

Yes. That opinion. (Why do you think your overstatement is helpful? Who do you think it is helpful for?)

And more appalling that these were judges appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote.

We are no longer a functional representative democracy.

We were never a functional representative democracy. Since the founding of this country, we've been ruled by a wealthy minority -- a minority that tells us to what to think, what to say, what to do, what to eat, where to work, etc.

That happens by consent. When the consent is no longer there, then things change. This country has changed a lot since its founding. Those of us who didn't sleep through school, or through any stories from family members or friends, know this.

What people understand and were willing to believe has changed a lot.

So far one thing I know to be true, the GOP doesn’t care about America or the women who live here. If they did:

I don’t think they will change the filibuster but maybe Collins, Murkowski, and the Ds can whip up 60 votes to protect women?

Susan "but he promised me he'd uphold Roe" Collins???? LOLOLOL.

Time for her and others to step up to protect women.

The overwhelming majority of abortions are performed early in pregnancy. Why not pass a bill preserving access to abortions before 16 weeks (that is almost all of them).

No. For a gazillion reasons already hashed out on this and other threads.

You are so, so wrong.

Oh, I’m sorry. RWNJs who didn’t care about any of the horrific things Trump did - like put on two justices when he lost the vote and convince a third judge to retire so he could fill a third seat - are currently pretending this is bad.

No one decent cares about the leak. There. Fixed for clarity!

You know what I find totally disgusting?
When you are dissatisfied with a decision of the court, you immediately begin to impugn the integrity of any Justice who does not vote the way you want.
Sorry, Skippy. All of the Justices on the court were legitimately nominated and voted into power.

And, if you want to talk about a Justice being "convinced" to retire.... shall we talk about Justice Breyer?

The opinion and the collapse of SCOTUS integrity by lying & unethical justices.

Boycott any company that does not reject this or that donates to any candidates that form reject this.

With the two Republicans pretending to be Democrats Sinema and Manchin, how would you suggest doing this, precisely? With the entire goddan GOP off their effing rockers and unwilling to govern, how do you see this working out?

Oh? You think Congress won't change after this?

No, I don't think Congress will change. Maybe a few seats will be impacted, but nothing on a grand scale. DCUM posters think everyone in the country is thinking like them. That is not the case.

I think you’re in a right wing bubble if you don’t get how many women across America rightly understand this sht opinion to mean that the GOP wants their theocracy at the expense of women.

70% of women on average favor not overturning Roe. 30% of women favor overturning Roe. That's a definitive majority, but not a majority I'm convinced that can impact elections en masse, especially since anti-choice advocates are more politically active than pro-choice advocates.

Up until the last year or two (and elections haven't happened yet after the Texas law was uphold by SCOTUS), there wasn't much reason for pro-choice advocates to be politically active.

Now there is.

This line of thinking is how we got here. The Supreme Court was the ENTIRE PURPOSE of Donald Trump.

Yup. That’s why the religious extremists held their nose to support him.
