What the right isn’t really accounting for is the violent swing far left.  It’s coming.  Well, maybe they are accounting for it.  They’re just in the ‘get while the gettings good’ phase.  

Probably would be a good idea for Dems to start worrying about voting rights 30 years ago.

If this doesn't mobilize every woman, both politically active and not, that cares at all about their own self-preservation, I don't know what will.  This should be a massive groundswell for Dems.

I wonder if Thomas also wants to reconsider Loving v Virginia? 

There isn't a better summary of the Conservative mindset than Thomas omitting Loving from his list.  "Obviously this one freedom that affects me should be protected, but fuck all the rest of y'all."

This is the equivalent of liberals winning on Twitter and not at the voting booth. When are we going to stop thinking being clever is the solution. 

Yeah but Hillary was awful. Feel the Bern! Vote for Stein, that’ll show them! 

I really don't know what to make of the fact that Breyer wrote the sole dissent.

On the positive side, my holdings in wire coat hanger futures are sure to increase greatly in value. (Sorry for the crude joke, just violently angry right now). 
 

fuck all this shit.  Cruelty is truly the point of everything these treasonous pieces of shit do. 

Dark day for America, I can’t believe they did it.  Shameful jurisprudence considering the amount of lying and cheating it took to build this farce of a Supreme Court.

It won’t. White women in the suburbs don’t care about this. They care about gas prices, security, and whatever scares them that week. SCOTUS just overturned something that has the support of a majority of Americans. Because Rs know that they control a lot of the situation now. And in November will control more. SCOTUS was the prize. That’s why they celebrated Trump so much. Other than the racism. That’s why McConnell did what he did for some many years. And Dems let him. They have zero spine. And that won’t change anytime soon.

I really thought that Rs would never do this because they were using it as a tool to keep their dumbshit voters coming out to vote.  Now that they got their way, what is the plan?  Is it really a Handmaid's Tale version of reality?  I just can't believe that.

Pick a new issue - gay marriage probably. Gays are not mentioned in the constitution, so time for that to go away

Yes, all of these "single issue voters" will magically find another issue to cling to that is conveniently Republican.

I can think of no other reason. There is true hatred for people who this, and future rulings, will affect. There is no other rationale explanation.

No, that's not cruel enough to enough of their enemies for them. They want full apartheid, in which only conservative white men have political and economic power. The rest of us will either serve them or be purged.

Stahp. You can't politic around hateful assholes and idiots. You can do a poll that 70% of people support abortion rights, but the republicans in that poll will still vote republican, because two moms kissed in a Pixar movie and transgenders are winning all the trophies. 

Nothing. Fucking. Matters.

From the majority:

"The right to abortion does not fall within this category. Until the latter part of the 20th century, such a right was entirely unknown in American law. Indeed, when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted, three quarters of the States made abortion a crime at all stages of pregnancy. The abortion right is also critically different from any other right that this Court has held to fall within the Fourteenth Amendment’s protection of “liberty.”

Roe’s defenders characterize the abortion right as similar to the rights recognized in past decisions involving matters such as intimate sexual relations, contraception, and marriage, but abortion is fundamentally different, as both Roe and Casey acknowledged, because it destroys what those decisions called “fetal life” and what the law now before us describes as an “unborn human being.”13 Stare decisis, the doctrine on which Casey’s controlling opinion was based, does not compel unending adherence to Roe’s abuse of judicial authority. Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences.

And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives. “The permissibility of abortion, and the limitations, upon it, are to be resolved like most important questions in our democracy: by citizens trying to persuade one another and then voting.” Casey, 505 U. S., at 979 (Scalia, J., concurring in judgment in part and dissenting in part). That is what the Constitution and the rule of law demand."

They don't care about this or anything else that matters. You see, those women who need abortions are all whores. That's the Karen mindset. This changes nothing for them.

White women care, but then Tucker will tell them that there's an underground legion of Democrats that are imprisoning preschoolers in the sewer system or some shit and they'll BOTH SIDES this shit and pull the red lever as always.

Do you agree with Thomas’s dissent? Yes or no?

If we just consider Catholics and Evangelical Protestants, we're talking about ~ 46% of Americans.  Most of them could be expected to lean in favor of today's ruling.  Obviously not all, because polling tells us 2/3 of Americans support Roe V Wade but I remain skeptical that there will be a distaff wave of angry voters come November.

Next up is gay marriage, same sex unions, and contraception. If you don't believe me, read it from the utter piece of shit himself.

Quote

In Justice Thomas' opinion statement, he wrote that the Supreme Court should "reconsider the rulings that protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage."
