I'm just completely over the US politics and judiciary. It's fucking hopeless.

What's actually legitimately interesting - as opposed to the usual trashing of the Republican Party on MAR - deserved yes, but not deserved the way this board lets the Democratic Party totally off the hook - about the Supreme Court rulings yesterday (Thursday) - is they gave a huge wording hint on Roe (maybe) which makes you "think" they may rule today and not go right up against our national independence day of July 4th.......... but still "provoke" the populace anyway: ........ Judge Thomas - yesterday - in the New York Gun ruling - explicitly said you can't treat a Constitutional right as a "secondary" right I mean he went out of his way to say that.......that makes me think that if Roe is struck down (today?) that they will really hammer home that there is no "explicit" right to privacy at all and that Roe was a precedent but it was bad law precedent......to them..... That NY Gun ruling was 135 pages - the "leaked" opinion was only 60 something - given the arrogance of this Court - I wouldn't be surprised if the "leaked" Alito ruling was actually recently expanded and not softened - and the other opinions were couched in added language to support Alito on Roe actually to defend HIM on Roe..... .........but they've already waited so freakin' long to release this already since the leak that I just don't know anymore.......it wouldn't shock me either way: Could get a ruling today, or a ruling next week (or July 5th I guess?), strike down Roe or let it stand....... but severely gut it if it does stand.......and if Roberts got a less severe compromise from one of them: Gorsuch / Barrett / Kavanaugh.

Not sure why people didn't think this was next. I'm going to add voting rights to their agenda.

It's almost an astonishing series of events that caused this decision:
Garland being blocked by McConnell..........Trump beating Clinton...........Ginsburg passing away ........Barrett being appointed by Trump - his 3rd in just 1 term
..........and by the same token since we pulled out of Afghanistan almost nothing has gone "well" for the Democratic Party with this being the "low point" or maybe not until the midterms / 2024 POTUS race.
It's an almost unbelievable amount of bad luck that has gone into all this atm ^........... it's quite mind-boggling if you lay out the timeline of events and how they happened really.
Remember to vote in your local / state election elections...... now more than ever ......

Other countries have had way worse luck than America and we don't have raging evangelicals as supreme court justices. The judiciary is suppoed to be more progressive than the legislature. And Ginsburg was a fucking moron for not retiring, but her ego was too large for her shrubby dumb head.

Brett Kavanaugh will get all the smoke now. He lied in his confirmation hearing. He needs to hire security.

In addition to the "bad luck" I talked about - earlier and it is absolutely bad luck - no one could have predicted any ONE of those things I posted, much less all of them ......for those who think this court has an arrogant swagger to them they were pretty arrogant today too: They just announced 2 decisions (7 to go) - the least they ever have this term - on a Friday/Weekend so people can riot all weekend if they want (or protest etc) ........and I bet their other big decision will be the praying football coach next week as their "farewell" before recess (we have a separate thread for that case) as a way of affirming religion & public schools........and while they didn't "toughen" the language from the leak, they sure af didn't "soften" it at all. Very willfully defiant SCOTUS atm like the most defiant part of the governement currently......Ketanji Brown Jackson is walking into a lion's den it would seem next term.....how many dissents did Sotomayor have to write this term ..........

Maya Angelou said, "if someone tells you whom they are...listen". People can't hesitate. If someone in power is acting a damn fool they need to be dealt with at that particular moment, not wait to see what the hell happens next.

Not sure why people didn't think this was next. I'm going to add voting rights to their agenda. The official Texas GOP platform for 2022 included calling for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to be "repealed and not reauthorized". There are Republicans that genuinely want to return to Jim Crow.

I'm just thinking about all those unborn girls in red states who are going to be birthed into this nightmare. For decades girls have been born into a country where they had a constitutionally-upheld autonomy over their own body (true, red states did all they could to throttle that right but it was always there) and now girls born into half the states in this country will be born into and grow up in a world where their second class status is codified on the books.
