So what's next on the agenda for your gang of gerontocrat overlords? Banning gay marriage? Homosexual activity itself? Maybe the legality of inter-racial marriage will be left to the states? How about bringing back slavery?
-Regarding the "leak": is it even illegal? Like are there any laws making supreme court majority opinion drafts private/confidential/secret? Were any actual laws violated? Or is it just tradition that everyone is butthurt about? Why is the level of secrecy around Supreme court decisions considered OK at all?
There is definitely a bit of schadenfreude if conservative white women find themselves unable to access that abortion they thought they would never need for themselves. Sometimes I think this group forgets that black men got the right to vote 50 years before they did, just as a reminder for where they are on the old boys club totem pole.
I'll post more as I think and absorb and reflect more on things. I will say though: thank God I was born a man.
quite interesting how gender becomes strongly binary again when it comes to abortion. almost as if.....
Yup. My bet on the order :Gay marriage def next.
Yup. My bet on the order :
- Gay marriage
- LGBTQ rights
- Access to Contraception
- Interracial marriage
I don't think they will go after 4, but yeah the other 3 are certainly at risk. Plus non-hetero sex.Yup. My bet on the order :
- Gay marriage
- LGBTQ rights
- Access to Contraception
- Interracial marriage
4 would be last/ least likely.I don't think they will go after 4, but yeah the other 3 are certainly at risk. Plus non-hetero sex.
Let's keep the thread straight.Yeah, unthinkable. It's not like the first litmus test to becoming and staying a Republican representative is proving you are anti-abortion. And it's not like the GOP can win full control with way less than 50% of the vote.
All the snowflake liberals predicting this would happen if we didn't vote straight Demoract for the last 40 years sound like a bunch of crazies as usual. I know because my grandfather told me liberals were the source of all the problems in the world, and he was old so that means we have to respect his smartness.
I think that’s the least likely, but if you don’t think conservatives won’t eat their own….Clarence and Ginny would like a word on #4.
I don't think they will go after 4, but yeah the other 3 are certainly at risk. Plus non-hetero sex.
"I don't like to think about things that make me look foolish"Let's keep the thread straight.
Why not? The same argument used to strike down Roe can be used for all of theseI don't think they will go after 4, but yeah the other 3 are certainly at risk. Plus non-hetero sex.

I don't really get why you are all so scared of them - there's only a dozen of them and they look to be in poor physical shape. They don't seem to have any identifiable superpowers.
If you all just ignore them as you would other crazy old dudes in institutions, what are they going to do? Kavanagh might get drunk and blub a bit, which would be embarrassing for everyone to witness, but I struggle to imagine the dozen members of the Injustice League being able to physically do much to enforce their rulings (though, now I think of it, maybe that _could_ make for a fun MCU movie).
And if red states manage to push this through, they'll lower the age of consent also. Children can't decide their sexuality before an adult, but they'll marry off their kids under 16.Yup. My bet on the order :
- Gay marriage
- LGBTQ rights
- Access to Contraception
- Interracial marriage
This is the central problem of US politics. The system is based on the idea of respect for the rule of law with the assumption that those in office will act with that respect in mind. In the last 30 years or so conservatives have decided they no longer care about that and have embraced increasingly radical departures from that. Democrats value the rule of law though, so responding in kind destroys exactly what they are trying to protect. It's asymmetric warfare.I don't really get why you are all so scared of them - there's only a dozen of them and they look to be in poor physical shape.

I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm just saying even conservatives (except for the most openly racist ones) would find that one a step too far in my opinion.Why not? The same argument used to strike down Roe can be used for all of these
Yeah we should be clear this has nothing to do with legal logic - they will calvinball their way to any decision they like and think they can get away with. The limiting factor is politics, not the law.I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm just saying even conservatives (except for the most openly racist ones) would find that one a step too far in my opinion.
Alito also pushed back on the notion that if the court were to overturn Roe it could lead the court to overturn other cases like Obergefell v. Hodges, that upheld the right to same-sex marriage. He said that what "sharply distinguishes" Roe from other cases is that "abortion destroys" potential life.
In other words, they want to keep trying to hide their racism. I feel yaI'm not disagreeing with that. I'm just saying even conservatives (except for the most openly racist ones) would find that one a step too far in my opinion.
Man are you going to be disappointed when you learn that all of these arguments were bullshit they were using to enforce sexual morality on women and they never cared about that to begin with.Aleto just openly admitted in that leaked draft opinion that life DOES NOT begin at conception.
So does eating a strawberry.Aleto just openly admitted in that leaked draft opinion that life DOES NOT begin at conception.
