If they kill off Filip E. Buster, they need to put the peddle to the metal and make it so that the repugs canāt overtake both house and cement their permanent majority. Otherwise, given the chance, they will show Democrats what real powerlessness is. @mattinpa

The question before the Court is whether Mississippiās 15-week ban is constitutional. That does not require them to overrule Roe so much as to amend its pre-viability framework so as to let Mississippiās law stand and to give state legislatures a pathway to further, more draconian restrictions.
6-3 to uphold the Mississippi statute, with Thomas and Alito concurring separately to say that the majority should have reached the bigger question of Roe itself. My guess is that Breyer will assign the dissenting opinion to Kagan, who has gotten really good at shitting on the conservatives in her dissents.

I hope youāre right, the groundswell march after dumpsterās election was heartening. This wonāt stop at abortion, however, birth control measures labeled āabortifacientsā by the right are next. Which is what ever they will try to define it as. It covers a wide swath.

Are there no work houses? Maybe Foxconn can put some factories in more of the red states.

With Roe overturned, does it help or hurt the evangelical Penceās chances to head the GOP ticket?

The savviest people in the society understand the risks weāre running. Itās a characteristic of this society to dawdle as the situation grows dire and then, when the emergency erupts, to reach down and find the wherewithal to fix it, in a habitual better-late-than-never sort of way. Weāre sluggish that way. Itās not ideal. But Iām a long way from hopeless just yet.

As, I hope you agree, were the results of the next two elections. I watched it happen here on the ground.

We need the Reconciliation Bill and the Voting Rights Bill to be passed. That will greatly aid our fight.

The entire reason Roe v Wade was sent to the Supreme court is that states WERE doing their own thing, and it was getting very messy. There are some laws that need to be Federal for the very reason that some states are still living in the 14th century, and denying the Constitutional rights of any of their citizens
cannot be tolerated.
I hold firm beliefā¦backed by scienceā¦that abortion before a fetus is viable outside of the womb is not against any lawā¦godās or the laws of nature. I do resent the negating of MY beliefs by a bunch of lying arrogant so-called christians who pull the āGod cardā to force their stupid opinions on everybody else.

Roe was effectively ended when SCROTUS declined to enjoin SB8, they wanted to see what the reaction from the public was. Sadly not many people seemed to notice. Everything to come is just window dressing.

Youāre too kind. Nader definitely stopped Gore. And he did it deliberately. As to Stein, it was Sanders that sandbagged Hillary. Stein just finished her off. Sanders is such an idiot, he literally burned down everything he and his voters wanted policy wise, to assuage his ego and āsend a messageā. We got the message you jagoff.

This is so right on it needed to be posted again. I still see McConnells smug face as he stole those SC seats. I say we make him regret that decision.

Just HOW can we do that? I do not live in Kentucky, so cannot vote for his opponentā¦if he even has one. It is the voters in Kentucky who will have to finally rid us of that disgusting turd.
