Someone pointed out to me that the majority of what we consider “good” SCOTUS decisions came from the Warren court. Nearly every other case you could name you only know because of its detrimental effect on American progress. In that light, Roberts is just course-correcting SCOTUS: a branch of the government that historically keeps citizens from being too free.

“Now I’m not much for blaspheming, but that last one made me laugh.”

4 in 10 Americans say SCOTUS makes decisions based on ideology instead of the law, but they’re cool with that because it’s their ideology too.

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

In a civilized country, this would not be a political question, but, rather, a medical one.

You’re talking about abortion, right?

No, it’s birth control, isn’t it?

No, I’ve got it this time- you’re talking about trans care!

This is still bullshit.

“Emergency abortions” still give the forced-birthers too much leeway to decide when the mother’s life is at risk. A woman should not literally be septic and her organs shutting down before she gets the care she needs.

with an even more evil “Nancy” in his ear “guiding” him everyday (and to essential be running the country while keeping Trump’s decline on the DL).

That sound you just heard was Stephen Miller getting a boner thinking about putting all non-whites into camps.

Seem?

Do.

Panem et circenses, baby!

As long as people are kept fed and entertained, they will tolerate a lot of bullshit.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I remember hearing once that even if this were to happen, Congress can’t hold him longer than the end of this Congressional term.

More political grandstanding from the party that is bereft of any ideals beyond give the rich more money and worship Trump.

Re: 1, the concept of church/state separation is espoused by the First Amendment, if not explicitly stated as such. But as has been made clear, Roberts’ SCOTUS has yet to miss a case dismantling that wall.

Re: 2, SCOTUS has held that amendments only apply to Congress unless they have been incorporated via the 14th out to the states. The First Amendment’s restriction on state-endorsed religion was incorporated in a case from 1947 called Everson vs. Board of Education which means that if Congress can’t create an official government religion, state legislatures can’t either. Of course, what one SCOTUS decides another can overturn, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility for Roberts’ activist Court to remove the concept of incorporation altogether.

So if

1. Conservatives think that abortion is murder

2. and there are more infants dying

3. but fewer abortions being performed

Doesn’t that mean they should consider their infant mortality rate exactly the same as before?

edit: Cause, if the above is true, but their infant mortality rate is going up, we can draw a straight line between the decrease of abortions and the increase of infant deaths. Of course, Conservative feelings don’t care about facts.

You think “I’m Eric!” has ever had an original thought?

Veteran Republican strategist Karl Rove wrote in The Wall Street Journal: “Mr Trump can’t come off as unhinged or enraged. The words ‘rigged election’ shouldn’t pass his lips. He has to keep his cool and can’t make it all about himself.”

In other words, Trump has to be literally anyone other than himself. He might be able to refrain from lying about “rigged elections” but there’s no chance in hell he doesn’t come across as unhinged or making everything about himself.

Which won’t matter at all to Republicans, cause they’re a god damned cult.

What are they gonna do, vote for a Democrat!?

Or reverse the incorporation principle and say that Congress applies solely to the federal government.

Does it matter why they changed their minds though?

Anyone who votes against Trump and the GOP is making the correct decision and I’m glad they do, regardless of what it took to make them see that. It’s not easy to admit they were wrong and we need to make sure we’re encouraging and accepting of those that do.

“We’re in a dictatorship under Joe Biden!”

-Man who isn’t in prison for opposing Joe Biden.

Yeah, but there aren’t that many billionaire capitalists who have the wrong amount of melanin. Systemic and systematic prevention of the accumulation of generational wealth among POC in the US for decades has seen to that.

Oh, duh. I knew that, lol.
