The target is the Fourteenth Amendment.

Technically the Supreme Court can't rule a Constitutional Amendment unconstitutional. But yes, if there's a Constitutional Convention (and we're closer than we've ever been before) the 14th is history, along with half the Constitution...

While I understand your opinion is shared by many Americans, it treats a 50-50 Senate with a tiebreaker as though it were 100-0, ignoring both the filibuster and the power of Manchin and Sinema. It's a lazy opinion that shows a lack of critical thinking.

There are many different ways Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer could deal with Manchin and Sinema but they won't. Not understanding that is lazy and shows a lack of critical thinking.

I have argued for years that the target wasn't Roe but Griswold. I was wrong. The target is Brown. It is only a matter of time before SCOTUS brings back Jim Crow. See also: Miranda, Obergefell, Gideon... Kiss them all goodbye.

Alito literally cited Obergefell and Lawrence in his opinion as not being enshrined in the constitution. Like, this is a goddam hit list.

Purely speculation but this feels like a deliberate leak in an effort to get a justice to change their mind.

Yes. This was either Roberts or Sotomayor. Most likely Roberts trying desperately to pull one of the others to the non-self-immolating side of the decision. Could be Sotomayor because she's so fucking incensed by this insanity.

That was my thought, Roberts is trying to throw a Hail Mary here.

From Twitter:

Alito's draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage). He says that, like abortion, these decisions protect phony rights that are not "deeply rooted in history." https://t.co/4690k0KG1F https://t.co/urF7A02INU

Deeply rooted in history is very thinly veiled threat to all post reconstruction rights. Every single one of them.

Likely, but could also be a law clerk for any of the liberal justices who doesn't give a shit about burning bridges.

You push Manchin, he just flips parties and you lose the Senate altogether. Sinema has clearly been bought off by someone, likely the Russians, and if she's removed from office she gets replaced by a Republican since Arizona still has a GOP Governor, and you lose the senate altogether.

In some ways, the Dems would've been better off if they hadn't taken the Senate, because McConnell would've been the unifying villain (though the country would've been far worse off overall because pandemic assistance wouldn't have happened). Instead, we get people like you blaming them for being handed a toothbrush and not having cleaned the entire mansion in 18 months.

Name one. And tell us why it will work specifically not just in your fever dreams.

You sound like the idiots that support morons like Briahna Joy Gray. Don't be them...
