This isn't good!
"Sorry sweaty, but suggesting that The Notorious RBG should retire and allow herself to be replaced cuz she has glass bones, paper skin and is approximately 1 billion years old is problematic." 👏
I'll be real with you guys: I blame her more than anyone else. This happened because she was too proud and egotistical to know when to quit. If she actually cared about women's rights as much as libs say she did, that's what she would've done.
"Why do you blame the woman instead of all the men who are actually doing this? Smh." is a take I have seen a dozen times today, I genuinely wish these people got their skull fractured like jesus christ how fucking removed from reality can you get.
She literally had cancer over and over for 20 years and then decided to officiate weddings during a pandemic holy shit.
To be fair, even if that was a lib seat Roberts just would have swung his vote and made it 5-4 again. He's trying to appear objective and moderate and conservatives having a 6-3 majority lets him do that.
Eh, don't agree here. Roberts had the opportunity to shut down a bunch of abortion clinics in Louisiana last year and sided with the liberals 5-4 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_Medical_Services,_LLC_v._Russo). Roberts is a snake, but he has institutionalist brainworms just like some of the liberals.
For corporate handouts yes, but not as likely for just flat out overturning roe v wade
just flat out overturning roe v wade
But they technically haven't in a way that matters to a legal dork like Roberts and that's the justification that he would've leaned on in this hypothetical.
Well roe v wade was specifically about women having complete medical privacy until at least fetal viability. This is definitely overturning the core part of it, even technically I think
Its also just a perfect microcosm of the liberal mindset, where personal advancement trumps everything, and the only sin is being denied your seat at the table.
I give a solid chunk of the blame to all the libs with Notorious RBG mugs and shit who propped her up so high that her ego wouldnt allow her to step down before dying but it's mostly on her.
holy shit roe is dead. I rly thought they'd keep it as a base motivator but those madmen actually fucking did it. Guys this is possibly gonna sound lib but I think we crossed the rubicon
I always thought it was to avoid liberal backlash, the anti-abortion freaks will still be motivated to try and make it illegal in all 50 states
The people with actual power (the politicians, media personalities and/or the wealthy) may just be against abortion to motivate the base, but a lot of the rank and file (who may have integrated themselves into the power apparatus to varying degrees), along with some people in the first group I mentioned, genuinely want abortion to be banned.
Didn't Biden repeatedly say that "roe v Wade went too far" a bunch of times? I'm pretty sure him and all his fellow Catholics are celebrating this one
ur absolutely right. He even voted in favor of a constitutional amendment that would've let states overturn roe if they wanted to. Tho he has spoken out against this ruling and has "vowed to defend roe", in light of his background it makes it hard to believe he would be willing to go to any great lengths to actually protect it
Try telling libs that. They always hit you with the "it's almost like he changed his mind with new evidence" smarmy shit
Meanwhile I'm over here like "I support people who were never terrible... Ever. Why is that never a viable option?
Plus, he only changes his mind when it becomes politically expedient.
He did? Because one of the reasons libs and "leftists" wanted to vote for him was because of Roe v Wade only.
It's dead in red states, half of whom already don't have any abortion clinics. Most Dem-run states have already passed laws protecting abortion rights even if Roe is actually overturned.
🎶 There it is again, that funny feeling 🎶
I ought to watermark that and get it spreading.
I'm not going to pretend I have the faintest idea what a collapse would be like. But it feels like we are having a lot more of these flashpoint moments over the last few years than we have at any other point during my time on this earth
justice breyer's book, about how the supreme court is not political, drops next week
get ready for the US version of this chart
Seriously fuck this garbage country.
Romania banning abortion and contraception directly lead to a rise in deaths from botched back alley abortions in the country. It is literally the best data we have that proved without a doubt banning abortions doesn’t stop them.
virgin norms respecter :biden-fall:
chad court packer :chavez-guns:
My fucking god. The GOP base will obsess about the 2020 presidential election until their last breaths. Meanwhile - the dems will do the same for 2016. Here's an top r/politics take. If you're impatient - skip to the last couple sentences.
notcaffeinefree comments on Supreme Court Lets Texas Six-Week Abortion Ban Stay in Effect
Abortion, which has been a protected right for decades, is now illegal in a state because the Supreme Court decided to change precedent through the shadow docket. What horse-shit.
This should be a clear sign to Democrats that they need to add judges starting tomorrow. Dems are still playing softball which the GOP aren't afraid to break norms to get their agenda pushed through. Dems need to wake up and realize they're losing the country by being nice and doing things the way they used to be, and should be, done.
It should also make it stupidly clear that when you vote in Presidential elections, you're not just voting for the President. You're voting for the policies of the Democratic Party; You're voting for Cabinet members, like an Attorney General, that advance those policies; and you're voting for judges that align with those policies. Roberts joined with the liberals, and if we still had RBG (or a liberal replacement for her), this would not have happened.
Instead people didn't like Clinton so they didn't vote for her and fucked up the entire Democratic party. She was a pretty terrible candidate, yes, but she would have prevented this.
This loser begins by admitting the Democrats are useless and ends by telling us to vote for Democrats :thonk:
Lists all of the losers we're supporting by voting Dem, still wants us to vote Dem? :pathetic:
when you vote in Presidential elections, you’re not just voting for the President. You’re voting for the policies of the Democratic Party
I think that part’s perfectly clear. That’s why I dont vote
:meow-coffee:
Oh FFS it was 5 to 4, RBG refused to retire at the traditional age because she was on a power trio and you all clapped fuck off with this shit.
Opportunists rely on half steps and performative progress, while obscuring the need to abolish the bourgeois state :lenin-laugh:
Yet more proof that the democrats are just kayfabe. If they weren't, they would immediately pass equivalent legislation at the state level with bounties for mis-gendering people or whatever.
The protection in the law against countersuits or consequences is absolutely batshit. Also, any lawyer in Texas who doesn't immediately file bounty claims against governor Abbott is a :LIB:
Also, any lawyer in Texas who doesn’t immediately file bounty claims against governor Abbott
State Senator Bryan Hughes should be at the top of the list, given his position as legislative author.
But yeah. Let a thousand frivolous lawsuits bloom.
I genuinely hope chuds get killed for trying to harass people with this shit
