They concocted a 30 + year old rape hoax and national protests the last time there was a Supreme Court appointee. Just imagine what the next appointee will bring.

I think it is so incredibly appropriate that the reactionaries who aren't going "lol owned libs" are saying they just really care about abortion. It so perfectly representative of the reactionary mindset that the only people they care about do not exist, and that they cease to care when they do.

Lol who gives a fuck about what fash collaborator Andy Ngo has to say. The dude lies on behalf of violent fascist groups like Patriot Prayer, literally accusing the people they attacked of being the aggressors.

At their core, most of them are Anarchists at heart to begin with, government is at best just a weapon with them to use against their enemies. When push comes to shove the default mode becomes their trying to tear everything down in a spasm of senseless rage.

You are literally pretending to care about the ~the babies~ because it's a good excuse to take womens' reproductive rights away from them.

The GOP doesnt just want to punish women, they want to punish people for being born poor. They take away their rights and then ensure they have no support because they genuinely believe government is unable to help. Which is true, when they are in power.

Women knowing that their fundamental right to bodily autonomy is going to be taken away is not a "spasm of senseless rage."

''pretending?''

I'm a Socialist. I want people protected from conception to natural death. Laying on the false guilt trip doesn't work with me because I do care about everybody, including the children in the womb who cannot defend themselves from cowardly and greedy murderers-oh yeah, Abortion is big Capitalist business worldwide...

And the wealthy are behind this, as abortion kills off generally poorer and darker peoples who get to be a drag on the Rich's enjoyment of their wealth. Henry Kissinger wrote NSM-200 about this very issue; ''draining the swamp'' in his eyes back then was doing away with the possibly revolutionary poor as quickly and efficiently as possible

You're more like the white liberal MLK described, who nominally supports decent things but when people actually go out and protest to demand an end to police violence your answer is, "Let's all meet at our local place of worship and talk it out."

No, I'm an Authoritarian Statist of a Socialist, who wouldn't be doing much talk at all if I and people like me were in charge. Worship is great, the ideas have to come from somewhere, and they do. Policing has to be changed, but the answers to the larger problem have to be solved.

[Wulfschilde]

Oh God I'm getting so hot thinking about all of the rights that are going to be taken away.

[wat0n]

I wonder how will this affect the election.

If Trump doesn't manage to get a justice before the election, I assume Never Trumpers within the GOP would have an incentive to vote for him since even if they got 4 more years of Trump, they would in exchange get a SCOTUS that is clearly Republican, although he would also be failing to deliver on his promise to always strive to get judges at the bench. Democrats would also have an incentive to go out and vote, particularly those that are moderate and may be really unhappy with the party's performance during the riots over the summer but who understand that having 6 GOP-aligned SCOTUS justices would be disastrous in the longer term.

OTOH if Trump does manage to get a replacement before the election, Never Trumpers would not have any reason to vote for him come November (after all, even if Biden won the SCOTUS would be aligned with the GOP) and those who voted him to get as many Republican justices at the SCOTUS would still probably vote for him (they were likely going to do it anyway, since they should be happy he already got 2 justices and they would likely do everything they can to stop a Democratic administration even if they didn't like Trump that much). Democrats, moderates and progressive hardliners alike, would be pissed off at this prospect and would harden their opposition to Trump - and the former may be willing to forget about the party's and its elected local officials' behavior during the riots since this is even more important than that. And apart from these, if the election was heavily contested then I would guess the SCOTUS would be more likely to rule for Trump too, if things came to be like in the 2000 election.

Are there any other scenarios to consider? I can imagine the upcoming fight over the SCOTUS being more important than the BLM protests or the pandemic this time around, since however these two things (along with many more problems) are dealt with depends on the composition of the SCOTUS.

[Wulfschilde]

There isn't going to be much of an incentive because the Repubs will likely ram this through in order to avoid creating one.

I will grant that you are a socialist in that you believe society as a whole should control a woman's means of reproduction.

If it all goes to shit with the Republicans playing silly buggers and it ends up in the Court...

It would all depend on whether the Democratic House feels there has been abuse of process and repudiates, refuses to act on, a 6-3 conservative majority Trumpist Supreme Court ruling disposing of the objections to the count.

Note that, "No votes or papers from any other State shall be acted upon until the objections previously made to the votes or papers from any State shall have been finally disposed of." (3 U.S.C. § 15).

I'm lolling at the horney fuckos who think the white lady christian with the black adopted child is like kryptonite to any Democratic opposition, which is irrelevant given that the GOP has a majority in the senate.

You're talking about identity politics like you're playing pokemon, and you just need the right types before you go in to fight the Democratic trainer in his dojo. Like lmfao at your childish and stupid understanding of reality.

I look forward to Weinstein being put forward as the Republican number one choice.

It's worth noting that Ginsberg has died on Rosh Hashana.

Well I can't quite say I laughed out loud, but I was certainly highly amused to hear this news. And don't get on my case about not respecting the dead, blame the absurd American electoral system. Because be under no illusions the US supreme court is a governing body. Having her life and death matter to such an extent politically is a ridiculous way to run a constitutional system.

The Republican caucus on the supreme court have played their hand brilliantly. The Republican establishment really cares about two things, tax cuts for the rich and the security of the Jewish state. They realised that both abortion and gay marriage could become electoral liabilities for the Republicans, hence the Republican caucus made sure there was and remains a majority for Roe-Wade and for Gay Marriage.

I hold constitutionalism in utter contempt. By constitutionalism I mean the anti democratic fascistic idea that there are timeless moral or constitutional principles that can and should be decided outside of the democratic system. Slavery, citizenship rules, abortion and marriage are all political issues that will always be decided politically what ever a farce of a constitution you have in place. Unfortunately in Britain we are ever keen to follow in the foot steps of American cretinism. Americans sure come up with some dumb ideas, but seemingly never too dumb for us British not to want to copy them.

Maz is a 30+ year old loser who drinks deep of 4chan /pol/ memes and is so racist he can't get rid of his yellow card, which is a fun read if you go to the Basement subforum

When Maz notes that it's a Jewish holy day it's not because it's coincidental. He's just a huge anti-semite because he buys into dumbassed conspiracy shit. Not like he needed the conspiracy shit to hate Jews in the first place

Maz unironically says shit on this forum and in real life like "I smell shekels."

I genuinely feel bad for Maz and whatever brain chemistry problems he has and hope he someday finds friends who teach him how to be less of a shithead. Unfortunately, that will never happen because he has cloaked himself in an impenetrable shell of internet poisoned "ironic" racism that he carries into his day to day life.

Wulfschilde is a pro Trump blogger who posts on various Trump websites. I could post the links but I don't want to give them cred on the search engines.

He will post whatever Putin wants him to post.

I legit thought he was a teenager posting underage on the forums because he's just so bad at what he does.

Blogging for my strong daddy lmfao.

DrLee please PM me the proof but if some dumbass chud got found out by a 50+ year old man like yourself then just haha lmao your game is weak as fuck. The only reason you didn't get found out before is because nobody cared. Like, your efforts were just farting into a cave and getting no echo. Haha.

I don't consider this being mean. I'm just giving him fuel for his blog posts.
