Hah. I just put this in the insurrection thread.
Man, 7 new posts ITT was a bit scary. Not enough to be a death or some significant ruling, but more than usual, so like a 99% chance something low key very bad happened⌠But itâs just RBG auctions and Nate Silver being a moron. Phew!

She already got it dismissed. Then she got another one.
If this is accurate this will change a bunch of votes and motivate women to go to the polls:

If the democrats even just manage to hold the Senate it will absolutely have been because of Roe.
This guy has a net positive approval rating among democrats

Thatâs a stunning movement of the Overton window. Roberts was the 3rd most conservative member of the Supreme Court when he took the bench.
Roberts is a RADICAL SOCIALIST now. It is known.

I think plenty of Democrats just hear âJohn Roberts, Supreme Courtâ and thatâs literally all they know about him. âSounds goodâ they say and thatâs about how deep the avg American dives into the current political landscape.
Returning to the question of restraining the lawless Supreme Court, it turns out this is a classic wedge opportunity for Democrats. The Data for Progress poll finds 34 percent of Republicans support reining in the Courtâs power, while just 13 percent of Democrats have the opposite view. And one doesnât need to endorse adding more justices to the Court or ending judicial review to address this problem. The Constitution stipulates that the âCourt shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make,â thus indicating that Congress can limit its jurisdiction. It has done so many times beforeâincluding, remarkably enough, in the Inflation Reduction Act, which says âThere shall be no administrative or judicial reviewâ of some of the drug price control measures included in the bill.

Should probably note that removing abortion from jurisdiction has the exact same effect as Dobbs

Such a sad game weâre playing.
Dems are going to limit like the Voting Rights Act 2.0 to protect it from spurious bad faith objections by conservatives.
Republicans are going to use this to shield blatantly unconstitutional fuckery from review.
There just isnât a solution to this playing under the rules of the game. These increasingly desperate attempts to hold everything together under some semblance of law and order are just going to make that more obvious.
Which SCOTUS will strike down as unconstitutional 6-3.
SCOTUS will uphold this shield 5-4.
