At his passing, many requests will be made for Mitch McConnell's face to be added to Mt Rushmore. Smackie guarantees it.

Well, the silver lining is that women could interpret a RvW overturn as a tyrannical government revoking their rights, and they can form a well-regulated militia without fear that anyone will take their guns away…
When you read about the ruling on guns today it’s so clear the problem is the Supreme Court…..yet everyone is always blaming the president and congress

You wanted to hope it was just “one of many drafts circulating to get support”
But no whoever leaked that draft knew it was a done deal and threw a Hail Mary
Nobody caught it.

Clarence Thomas just filed a concurring opinion to Dobbs calling for the court to consider overturning the right to contraception, same-sex marriage, and privacy in the bedroom.
Also what could someone have done if they caught that hail mary? I guess congress could have stepped in??

So many thoughts
It’s almost the culmination and full crystallization of the nightmare of the 2016 election which is going to haunt this country long after we are dead.
Just can’t help but think of all those that argued there was no difference between Trump and Hillary. A special shout out to the Bernie supporters and the media which played up the emails…
Then there is of course the added pathos of RBG who fought for women’s rights for decades and tried to hang on to life falling short by just a few weeks…. Had she only retired…
Apologies for my grammar which is going to hell

bottom line is at this point we aren't really living in a democracy at this point.. Citizen's United pretty much proved that… and unless the Dems can retain the house and win seats in the Senate we are truly screwed for years to come… and we have full on fascists who want to be the next president in DeSantis and Abbott
as a CIS White Male most of this is unlikely to affect me yet, but they want to destroy Medicare, etc. so yeah for aging…

Wow a 5-4 decision overturning 50 years of precedent on the most divisive of issues with the majority’s third, fourth and fifth votes being all relatively new - one arguably almost a rookie- Trump appointees.
I know it’s happened but wow… it’s a major gut punch.

Here's an interesting take on how issues that seemingly don't affect you actually do:
