Gorsuch is more likely to cite precedent and has said as much regarding Roe v Wade. This whole thing just reminds me of how Republicans played dirty politics to steal at least one SC seat from an elected president.

You try so hard to be funny and clever yet fail since your cognitive abilities stopped developing somewhere in middle school, so fail miserably at being both a troll and a comedian, in addition to being a decent human being. I haven’t seen a biological male this emotional since Adam Morrison in the NCAA Tournament. And nothings even been announced yet. Gear down sport, you and whatever unfortunate girl that you guilt in to sleeping with you will still be allowed to kill the innocent result of your actions.

I agree 100%. A stain on the court along with the other stains that preceded it. If Garland were on the court today as he should be it would be 5-4 the other direction.

Especially, women. Precedent means nothing to the radical right and they all lied about it under oath in the confirmation hearings. I'd like to agree with you, but we're a stupid society who cares more about Twitter and celebrity court battles than real issues. The left doesn't have the presence of mind or wherewithal to understand what's at stake and get off the couch.

Your second hand experience into someone’s medical history and judgement of their family and children extrapolated into an opinion about what they "should have done” seems gross to me. The child with autism is a human being and not some terrible mistake. That is great and noble that you would adopt. Be a hero and take on the challenge of adopting from foster care then instead of just pontificating on a message board on the good person you "would” be. How characteristically sanctimonious of you...
May 3, 20223 yr Btw - They didn’t lie under oath. However, they did spin and mislead. It was all very obvious.

May 3, 20223 yr This is one of the best takes I've seen on the decision: Honestly, if killing babies is that important to you, move to a blue state that will allow it. Go be with other like minded-people. If you're against slaughtering children, move to a red state and make your voice heard. State's rights are pivotal here.

A stain on the court along with the other stains that preceded it. If Garland were on the court today as he should be it would be 5-4 the other direction. My point is that the court has already lost any integrity it had. From Kavanaugh's pathetic Hilary conspiracy rant to Thomas's wife's texts about overturning the election and installing a dictator, it's all gone. But to your Garland point, I'd consider this ruling (assuming it happens) to be the one positive to come out of that dirty play by McConnell. This is a potential nail in the coffin of the modern Republican Party and it never would have happened without the court going too far to the activist right. Short term, I think we'll see some modest help for the Dems in the mid-term, but longterm I think it's absolutely devastating to the right. It has less to do with galvanizing the left (liberal's youth and short attention spans means that's always temporary) and more to do with breaking up the right. Good luck keeping moderate, religious suburbanites on-board with the hard-right carnival-barker sheet-show when you don't have Roe to keep them close.

Literally you are declaring the saint you "would be”.

Man, between Disney crushing DeSantis, the huge win for the left that was Elon Musk purchasing twitter, and now another huge win for dems in the SC overturning Roe vs. Wade, you must be on cloud nine. Exhausted from all the winning. Take a break, van, you've earned it.

My lawyer friend was saying last night that this is first time SCOTUS has taken away right. I couldn't really think of another example, either. They've either expanded rights or denied their extension but never outright annulled one that I can think of.

I mean, the Disney thing mainly just shows how little Desantis cares about conservative values, but it's not a particularly wide-reaching issue. I'm good with Musk purchasing twitter, which for some reason...bothers you? And as for this one, I've said on here for years that I wished Roe would go. It's a symbol that wasn't working as intended. It's only use was as a boogyman to keep the right in line.

I saw the clip, it was a classic non-answer in my opinion with just enough for someone to chew on if they were desperate for cover.
