The official thread of SCOTUS cementing the US as a theocractic fascist state.

For all the liberals who didn't vote for the mean email lady in 2016, this is all on you.

We'd be sitting on 6 or 7 justices, still a conservative majority

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

Once again, this is a clear illustration of why a "common law" based system is an absolute farce when compared to "codified law" based system.

States where abortion stays legal should means test abortion access for out of state residents from where abortion is banned.  

 

Instead doctors who perform abortions in legal states will get grabbed when transiting airports in prohibition states.

Legislative and executive can in theory change the size and scope of the judiciary and the executive strictly speaking doesn't have to listen to the judicial branch

 

Yes but only the Republicans have the stones to actually ignore the courts.

So I assume the return of the Irish Abortion is just 6 months away, as a last resort for some.

I think conservative states underestimate the impact this will have on them in terms of businesses moving to their state. For instance they are going to have a hard time convincing liberal tech workers to move from California to Texas

I know I will never live in a conservative state ever, not only because of this law but because future rights potentially being reversed.

If there ever was a spark that would lead to the dissolution of the United States, it's hard to not consider this to at least be in the running.

What a fucking shithole country. Love that Justice Handmaiden is gonna get to decide what I can do with my body.

Thinking back to all of those op-eds that were like, "Brett Kavanaugh will be a better justice than you think because he coaches his daughter's basketball team in his spare time"

The thing I don't get about conservatives is that they spend all of their time screaming at the top of their lungs about how persecuted they are, and how this nation is trending towards socialism, but for at least the last 20 years they have won on almost every big cultural issue. With the current composition of the SC, they're going to continue winning for years to come. In 3 years, when Trump wins a 2nd term, you'll have Thomas retire and Breyer leave the court as well. The court will go like 7-2 full conservative, that plus the redistricting they get to do because they own Statehouse majorities means they get the whole damn ballgame. 

 

I've never been happier to live in California and I say this after just having opened up an email about homes for sale that showed me an $700k home in a not so desirable neighborhood.  

yeah i have no plans to leave california until we have no more water 

[CastlevaniaNut18]

I still can't imagine living in a place like California. I don't really wanna give up my lifestyle with the ridiculous cost of living there. I can at least take comfort in knowing if I ever needed abortion access, I could afford to travel there to get it done.

This country is mind numbingly dysfunctional. I hope these people drown in a shit filled toilet bowl.

Pass. I’m also aiming for early retirement.

Places like California and Massachusetts are at risk too, people. Neither are strangers to Republican governors (yes, I am aware that a "Massachusetts republican" is not the same as a "normal" one, but still), there's a ton of old money and tech money in each. Wind turbine projects on Cape Cod have died because they'd be in the eye line of 10 rich people. It doesn't take much for that to spread that shit to other areas.

Waxman got a nationwide tunneling ban passsed to appease Beverly Hill NIMBYs wanting to keep the subway out. And he wasn't even a Republican.

Yes, suburban women have been doing gangbusters for the Democratic party lately.

 

EDIT - also even if Thomas and Roberts dropped dead tonight, Manchin is pro life. Good luck, fuckers.

Don't use that term. It's inaccurate and insulting.

Ah yeah, fair enough. I try to avoid it.

 

I thought you meant "suburban women" for a second there.

[marioandsonic]

Just call it "pro-birth".  That's all these people are.

Yeah, I just realized that it could be taken that way.

 

But yeah, I've stopped using the term pro-life. It's such a joke with these people. I'll say "anti-abortion" or "pro-birth."

[b_m_b_m_b_m]

forced birth imo

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

Personally, I refer to myself as "pro-abortion".
