Roe v. Wade to be overturned?

The Shiites will bring a case to set "fetal personhood" at conception. Abortion banned coast to coast. Period.

They don't want to fight the same battle over and over again in 50 states. They want to win the whole war all at once.

 

No, but if the D's can make gains then passing a Supreme Court Code of Ethics is possible. So is expanding the court, restoring the Voting Rights Act, and other necessary changes.

 

The good news is, Susan Collins doesn't have to be "concerned" any more. That's a real relief.

What is the point of confirmation hearings when prospective judges like Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett can simply lie with impunity. Which they all did.

No senator had the balls or ovaries to say to Barrett, or Gorsuch, or Kavanaugh, "I don't believe a word you just said" when they claimed they considered R v W as settled law. Anyone with an ounce of brains knew they would vote to overturn it the first chance they got.

 

Biden, Pelosi et Al say they’ll protect abortion rights by federal statute. First: Not happening. Second: Wouldn’t Trump’s SCOTUS klan simply strike it down ASAP?

 

More than a few people have equated the slavery issue with the abortion issue - and now we'll have a patchwork of laws across the country. The Taney Court thought the Dred Scott decision would "settle" the slavery issue once and for all, it only pushed the US into a Civil War. This decision - might be worse, do more damage to the Court's standing and the country.

 

The Quiet 2013 Lunch That Could Have Altered Supreme Court History (Published 2020)

Interesting piece but, as always, consider the source. In 2013, Obama and Leahy worked on it but she wouldn’t go.

There is a curious point here. If it’s 5-4 and now 6-3 for conservatives, does Roberts let himself be the swing vote? Easier to “go along” with a 6-3 ruling.

 

I said it on here a while back, but I’m wondering if this will turn into the tipping point for a major backlash against the evangelical movement.

The GOP and its Fox Newz minions have whined for decades about how Christianity and their deity are being marginalized (“War on Christmas!!!!”), and that’s just been with a (for-now) increase in LGBTQ rights. I’m thinking they’re not going to be prepared for the type of backlash where the word “Christian” becomes as dirty a word as “liberal” is for the GOP.

 

We’ll see. Right now 6 Republicans wearing robes are shredding democracy.

 

Basket of deplorables.
