Yep, still here
The frog had been boiling on abortion rights for years. The anti-Abortion side has been after banning it for 40+ years with laws all over every state they hold, pushing judges every chance they get while pro-choice sat there and expected the Supreme Court to save them. Suddenly they realized the danger they were in around 10pm on November 8, 2016, when it was already too late.

If the Dems can't do something about this... we're finished as a democracy.

Many of us saw the danger before that date. Bernie Bros and Jill Stein voters didn't need to be bothered with such trivial matters.

Neither could the people who even at a moment like this divide and attack.
Get it yet? Either we all join hands and fight or we're done. No more selfishness. Put that bullsh-t away.

Roberts didn't want to go down in history as Roger Taney for Women.
The Fabulous Five will always be known for this. In their obits it will be in the second or third sentence: "notorious for the decision which..."

As for where we're at right now? With the utter stupidity of Justice Breyer if I were a betting man I would bet that the Court goes 6-3 long before we have Abortion Rights in the United States again. And there's not a whole hell of a lot Democrats can do about it. Manchin and Sinema are not going to be any help here.

You mean 7-2. The Court is 6-3.

Isn’t it hovey who always says to be careful on what precedents are set?
Private bounty hunting is ugly. I think red states do this on a lot now.
so Dems either fox it or do it back.

This was a 5-4 decision. I expect Roberts to hold.

I mean in general. On abortion Roberts will vote with the conservatives when he can get away with it, and vote with the liberals when it makes him look like a dignified steward of the Court.

This might actually help Dems in midterms, unless they enact all kinds of bounty laws on gay marriage, etc which will excite all the bigots and scum to keep voting
It is me, and I agree. It's an interesting and clever approach that these clowns devised, but if it works, it is going to get used in a lot of ways they never intended, and won't like.
That's part of what I think the SC wants to sort out, why this can't be allowed to work.

I hope so. We need more Senators and more Reps. We need this whole idea of Turtle Boy and McCarthy gaining power EVER to end.

The whole point is anybody who dwells on the difference is the problem. So, when Centrists call out the BBs, they are the problem. Same as BBs are if they do the converse.
All of us have an obligation, at a bare minimum, to operate under the Eleventh Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of Anyone Fighting the Nazis.
Always ask "Do I want to win or get my jollies?"
