Like I said in another thread: shitshow.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. 😉
No, it's not great news. A functioning Democracy requires two sane parties. Ask Theodore Bilbo and Gene Talmadge how gracious they were when their Democratic Party had total control in the house.
Okay, V. But Republicans are not a sane party and haven't been since sometime in the 80s. Come back and try again when they regain their common sense
I would argue that a functioning democracy requires more than two parties, V. Fortunately, we have the Dems, Progressive Dems, the remnants of the GOP, and the America Firsters. We're fine.
The Supreme Court is about to rule 6-3 that Franklin Graham has control of every woman’s womb in America. We’re a long way from fine, Meiner. And you can thank your beloved third parties, the Jilliots, for that. We could have had a Hillary Court without them. And don’t forget the idiot Naderites who gave us Shrub.
Slow down there, bubba. The Court agreed to hear the Mississippi case in the next term, which begins in October. Decision would be expected in June, 2022. Which gives plenty of time to get the blood flowing, so to speak.
Once again, I will agree on the Green party activity in 2016 and 2000. Of course, must also remind that the inept Hillary campaign took the three Rust Belt states for granted.
The thing about it. In terms of what got us to this point with SCOTUS, Banger. Both you and V are correct.
CHB, completely agree on the ineptitude of the Hillary campaign in the Rust Belt. They were warned and they didn't respond.
As for SCOTUS, the decision will likely claim it's not overruling Roe, but then basically gut it. Classic intellectual dishonesty for the "originalists," i.e., the judges playing bad amateur historians. It sets up to create a great campaign issue for the mid-terms. We shall see.
But what is clear is that our tripartite system is a joke.
That's it exactly, spaceman. Of the three issues Mississippi presented, the Court granted cert on only one:
It will be ridiculously easy to answer that question in the negative, uphold the Mississippi law at issue, and still claim the Roe/Casey framework remains viable.
At the very best, the right to choose is going the way of Miranda, which is still "on the books" but so thoroughly neutered that it's virtually impossible for law enforcement to commit a Miranda violation.
Thomas, Gorsuch, Barrett and Kegs the Rapey Alcoholic Manbaby all view the legal theory underpinning Roe as garbage. Alito likely does as well, based on that horrifying speech he gave at that Federalist Society event awhile back. When the first outright ban on all abortions reaches this particular Court, Roe and its progeny are likely doomed. They won't completely shitcan Roe now, though, because doing so isn't necessary to uphold the Mississippi statute.
Did a browser inquiry on my other one in order to answer V. Found an interesting article from a guy at Hillsdale College that wasn't the usual far right drivel that comes from that institution. The author proposed that the Casey decision will be more closely evaluated than Roe.
Alito and Thomas are the automatic votes to ban all abortions and even overturn Griswold & Eisenstadt if they can. Barrett may join in. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have been unpredictable.
RMGO is so good at taking out Repugs it makes you wonder if they work for the vast left wing conspiracy.
