June 24, 20223 yr Put this in SCOTUS thread, but here is link to decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/19-1392_6j37.pdf
June 24, 20223 yr Boom. Just like that states matter. This decision itself could bring about a new wave people getting active in state politics and participation.

June 24, 20223 yr Overruling abortion definitely changes the dynamics of the midterm elections. Where the white women at???

June 24, 20223 yr Cue the "peaceful " leftist protests... Really good of them to dump this on a Friday so we can have a full weekend of it.

A lot more to do with suburban women who don't like the state telling them what they can and can't do with their body...or their daughter's body. The wave of laws that are about to go into effect hit the Republicans exactly where they can't afford to be hit.

This is what happens when you don't vote: We get the government we deserve. It goes back to all these liberals and centrists who stayed home or voted 3rd party in 2016, when it was clear that that election would re-make the Court. As if a fascist on the ticket wasn't bad enough. I think a lot of this is on them. And it's not like they'll even care enough to vote in November, either. They'll **** and moan for a few weeks, but they'll forget by the fall. Republicans will keep their base motivated, though. The left is as lazy as the right is crazy.

This only focusses that engagement where it should be: on the states.

June 24, 20223 yr Author As those of us with a clue knew, Thomas said that Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefeld should be overturned. They're coming for birth control next.
