In the end the people to blame the most are American voters for not running for office and voting to prevent this. That is how you end up with a corporate Democratic party vs an insane Republican party.
There are many causes, and itâs a complex issue, but at the end of the day America just got high on its own supply.

My hypothesis with Roe is that itâs never going to motivate the center. The right can tear it down and not lose any actual votes, despite 70% of the country being pro choice. The people for whom abortion is a top of mind issue when voting chose sides long ago and are deeply entrenched. There is a point where the GOP can go too far and face some blowback. Trump was close honestly. He got them crushed in the 2018 mid terms. Despite Dems running two of the worst candidates of all time they won the popular vote twice. The problem is the gop is putting the systems in place to ensure they maintain power in spite of a populist uprising against an unpopular fascist and thatâs what keeps me up at night.
Maybe America is the same itâs always been and the past few decades were the outlier, not a new normal

There are no errors when SCOTUS is in your pocket and dissenting opinions are disenfranchised.
Iâm sure Iâd love hanging out with him, but this is fucking weak sauce.

As a proponent of a Living Constitution, I donât really believe in âsettled lawâ.
Itâs fine. What do you want him to do?
Codify Roe as law when he campaigned on it and had dem control of all branches of government.

I think thatâs kinda the point. "What do you want Obama to do? Or anyone, at this point.
The game is already over. The things to be done time has already passed.

I actually think Griswold is next, before Obergefell.
They didnât get what they wanted yet, they want a federal ban. Then theyâll need to keep winning to keep the federal ban in place.

Do you really think that this conservative Supreme Court majority wouldnât find codifying Roe into law to be unconstitutional?
Susan is more qualified than every MSNBC host and contributor
Joe Scarborough, Andrea Mitchell, Chuck Todd and Claire McCaskill lololol we are so fucked

Not a lawyer, but I thought I heard that Alito claimed to not be passing judgment on abortion itself, but rather whether the court should be the decider. A federal ban is on the table, so federal legality seems like an option as well. At least, if thatâs the majorityâs logic, it seems hard to change that point of view later.
He can just say that states should be the decider, not the federal government.
Thatâs what weâve been saying!
