I am beyond sickened by this latest outrage. Apparently some of these “Wise Souls” don’t believe women have the right to make their own medical
decisions. Fuck Alito and the rest of these anti-choicers.

Alito is the Opus Dei Stooge we always thought he was. Spanish Catholic Fascism speaks through this overly politicized SC. Roberts, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Thomas are adherents, as is Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society. Scalia was, too, but he is now in Hell for Gore v. Bush.

This is not the language of someone trying to bridge America’s divisions. It’s the language of someone who’s won, gloating to an audience that can do little about it.

“The Draft Opinion Is An Untempered Victory Lap Reveling In Roe’s Demise.”

It’s a smirk, wrapped in a sneer, inside an enema.

The Draft Opinion Is An Untempered Victory Lap

ETA. Come to think of it, perhaps Alito’s screed is better termed an “ill-tempered victory lap.”

They’re just another gang of partisan pols. Treat the court that way.

Just looking ahead to the time where there are no abortion clinics left in half the states, so what will the faith protesters do then?
Some of these folks have spent years harassing patients, and have created a skill set to go do what? Will they now go to libraries and look to find books to be banned? Where will those Catholic high school students that get bussed to the March for Life go now, in March? Will they go and protest outside Lutheran High Schools?
How many people are in prison for harassing or bombing abortion clinics? Will they get paroled, or pardoned by the next Republican President?
How will Susan B. Anthony List employees get paid if the donations dry up? The same can be said for these groups and their employees:

I agree, but you know they’ll go somewhere and harass other people for some damn reason they don’t like. I’m just at a loss to where they’ll go next.

People have been suggesting the leak came from Roberts’ office, but I wonder if this could be a way for the far right to temper the outrage people feel when the actual decision is released. “Look how much more temperate this decision is than that thing that [we] leaked! At least it’s not a forcible decision!”

I know, maybe they’ll go to the southern border and become a human wall?

Wouldn’t work. A human wall is made of humans.

Perhaps. But now the crazies are already primed with righteous expectation. They’re going want “results” or they stay home on Nov 8.
