So, today's decision has even LESS support than Dobbs: www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-i...

So, basically, the ~30% who want unrestricted guns, and abortion banned in every circumstance, and who think the election was stolen, and who won't get vaccinated, and who want the ten commandments in schools, and who think the president is above the law, well, those ~30% run the country now.

Correctly.. And if the 70% (the rest) don't wanna accept this shots how, they better lift their damn asses and vote.. Up and down the ballot for dems.. Even, if They hate the candidate If not, they don't care a nanosecond..

They don't. They have prepared the laws to do so.

Some of them attend church regularly. Maybe there's a way to embarrass them in front of the rest of the congregation?

The rest of the congregation agrees though.

Maybe. If so, they can experience the protest, too.

So, just walk by 1 2 or 3 at a time. That was intimidating enough for this odd couple.
But it's not a protest about an upcoming action, it's a gratuity after the fact. Which should make it completely legal. (Snyder v. United States)

And yet …. Who they gonna vote for

Hopefully the person least likely to abuse that immunity.

What if this does for 2024 what the Dobbs decision did for 2022?

IIRC, it was 28% during Bush, so it’s gone up.

The polls tend to vacillate between 24% and 34%, depending on the specific question. So I call it 30% on the whole. I think that's why generally TFG's floor was 30%, and his ceiling was usually 30%. It's stubborn, and it's too big, but it's also a distinct minority that WILL LOSE if there's turnout.

If they didn’t follow up with “should Joe Biden as president have this authority” they failed

Republicans know they fucked up. They are already crowing about it on Fox. Sotomayor’s dissent was a call to arms. My guess that the delay in ruling was an attempt to rein her in. @chrislhayes.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social

The fact these percentages won't be reflected in the next presidential poll (i.e. Biden at 70%) will show the profound and bizarre disconnect about 20% of the population has between knowing what is good for the country, and voting for it.

30% of persons polled should have all decision-making responsibility stripped from them forever

the nutjob % is about the same in every country. 30% put the right wing ideologue in charge of Ontario right now

One thing that scares corrupt Republicans are protests (it's why they wrote laws criminalizing legal protesting).

You'd think they'd have waited to solidify their stranglehold on the other two branches before pissing off all but the narrowest minority of voters.

Whatever form of gov we have, it's clearly without consent of the governed.

So, Biden can now mail out birth control and HRT to anyone in need nationwide, did I understand the decision right?
Avatar
It don't matter. None of this matters. We will see more and more unpopular decisions until someone does something drastic.

Was the next question who they will vote for?

Biden should have expanded the court on day one of his presidency. After Mitch rigged the court, expansion was the legitimate response. But Biden plays by the “norms”, while the Republicans discard them. He got played by McConnell because of his racist white male bias. US “democracy” died under him.

the president does not have the power to do that. if you care about politics learn a *little* about how the government works, for fuck's sake.

Their posts are mostly anti democrat and fixated on the one piece of foreign policy and excluding the rest.

Posts like this are truly some of the most ignorant

When are people going to get together and force the justices to step down?
