Republicans won’t be satisfied with overturning Roe

Nobody has an issue with interracial marriage. There is no way interracial marriage could ever be touched. There is nothing at all wrong with it.
 
If Roe is overturned, the congress can pass federal law establishing national and rational standards for abortion. That’s what should have been done in the first place rather than legislating from the bench. Congress and the president will have nearly a year to accomplish this and until the mid-terms, the Democrats control both houses of the congress and the White House. If they have the will they can do it the right way; by legislation.

It will take 60 votes for such a thing to pass the Senate
 
The Holocaust occurred with legal protections.
Let’s avoid the problem completely.

Same sex marriage is water under the bridge. 99.999 percent don't care too much about it.
 
True.

Conservatives will also attack the rights of gay and transgender Americans, seek to allow the states to ban same-sex marriage, seek to allow the states to again criminalize being gay and transgender.

We’ll see the balkanization of our rights and protected liberties – indeed, our liberties will no longer be protected, one’s rights will be contingent upon his state of residence, where those in Republican-controlled states will have their rights in constant jeopardy, subject to the capricious whims of partisan politics, no longer safeguarded by the Constitution and rule of law.

Yeah, you're pretty well fucked.
 

"We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled," Justice Samuel Alito writes in the document,

I say that we hold that the Supreme Court is no longer legitimate. The Democrats need to RISE UP and start civil war to protect women and their right to privacy. This is unbelievable to see 5 people try and change 50 years of precedent. This will destroy the COUNTRY.

Put the bong down.

Now you are into the twilight zone with your silly hyperbole rant since there have been other "precedents" overturned too such as the 1954 decision (9-0) which didn't destroy the country at all and THAT was a far more reaching significant SCOTUS decision attacking the lawless and stupid 1896 decision which is a shitstain on American history.
 
Correct.

Now that the Supreme Court has abandoned its role and responsibility as the means by which citizens can seek relief from rightwing authoritarianism and oppression, Americans will need to use the political process to defend their rights and protected liberties from attack by conservatives.
"It's not fair! Mom said it was the left's turn to be authoritarian and opppressive!"
 
This is what you get when yu elect a liar and then h appoints liars.

The Supreme Court is broken and Biden needs to deal with the fact that liars sit there in very important roles making decisions on narrow political lines.

What that should look likeus probably a bigger court to nullify the liars influence.
Nobody tells you how to sit in your shithole country and draw dole checks.
 
“Republican senators are giving us a glimpse of the culture war clashes to come. There are already warning signs — including the Texas directive that prohibits parents from legally providing gender-affirming treatment and therapies to their children, as well as various state officials’ questioning whether the Constitution sanctions contraceptive use. Indeed, some Republican senators have gestured toward these future conflicts. In his questions to Jackson, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) repeatedly sought her views of Obergefell v. Hodges, the court’s 2015 decision legalizing same-sex marriage, pressing her as to whether the decision was properly decided. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) took her turn at the microphone to criticize Griswold v. Connecticut, the 1965 case that legalized contraception use. It’s not a stretch to imagine this revisionism extending to Loving v. Virginia, the ruling that legalized interracial marriage. A Republican senator recently said he was open to overturning that ruling. He later walked back his comments.

All this underscores that abortion was never the conservatives’ endgame. It is merely a way station on the path to rolling back a wide range of rights — the rights that scaffold the most intimate aspects of our lives and protect the liberty and equality of marginalized groups.”


Republicans’ assault on citizens’ rights and protected liberties has just begun.
OP is correct.

I recently had to leave my job as a teacher in Florida because I couldn’t teach my children about my own gender or use of pronouns.

Desantis is ruining that state.

Thankfully I moved to NY where it’s much more inclusive

YOU are lying
‘Justices who comprise the conservative majority on the Supreme Court have long been hostile to the right to privacy that was articulated in Griswold v. Connecticut, which protects the right to use contraception. Strict textualist justices claim the word “privacy” is not in the Constitution and thus the right to privacy does not exist.

This is the same rhetorical move that Justice Alito makes in his leaked opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. He claims that because the word “abortion” is not in the Constitution ... consequently the right to abortion does not exist.

The problem for our modern society is that many rights we care about have been protected as progeny of Griswold. This decision also gave us Loving v. Virginia, which invalidated an anti-miscegenation law, as well as Windsor and Obergefell, which articulated a right to marriage equality for same-sex couples.

After this [opinion], Loving, Windsor, and Obergefell are all on constitutionally thin ice. And the frustrating thing is Justice Alito’s ignoring the Ninth Amendment, which protects Americans’ unenumerated rights. As Roe recognized 49 years ago, the right to abortion is protected by the Ninth Amendment.

Or at least it did until this opinion becomes the law of the land.'


Pursuant to this extremist, wrongheaded rightwing judicial dogma, conservatives will continue their attack on the rights and civil liberties of the American people, allowing government to interfere in all manner of personal, private matters clearly not within the purview of the state.

‘Lawrence v. Texas, a 2003 decision decriminalizing same-sex sodomy; Obergefell v. Hodges, a 2015 decision legalizing same-sex marriage; Griswold v. Connecticut, a 1965 decision that legalized contraceptive use; and Loving v. Virginia, the 1967 decision legalizing interracial marriage.

More ominously, in a passage emphasizing judicial restraint, Justice Alito underscored that “respect for a legislature’s judgment applies even when the laws at issue concern matters of great social significance and moral substance.” It doesn’t take a clairvoyant to get the gist of this. What issues, beyond abortion, are leavened with “great social significance and moral substance”? Marriage, contraception, and the panoply of “heart and home” rights that scaffold our intimate lives.

Like the abortion right, these rights are implied from the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of liberty and the notion of constitutional privacy. And like abortion, they will come under fire as conservatives cast about for their next constitutional crusade.’ ibid

Exactly.

You might be interesting to talk to if you'd stop drama-queening for two minutes in a row.
