Good. I hope Ruth doesn't retire/die before the election. Because if her seat flips we won't get victories like this for years.

Can Democrats do what the GOP did and pull the "you shouldn't appoint a new judge in an election year" bullshit or was that a majority thing

They can't because they aren't the majority in the senate. McConnell has already said he would vote on one if it came up, because "things are different now than they were then".

I don't understand the LA law.

Basically it required any doctor that does abortions to be associated with a hospital near the clinic where they do the abortions.

Also Roberts straight up said he only voted against it because they had already set precedent with their vote on a similar Texas law.

He actually thinks they shouldn't have overturned the Texas law, so while this is a "win" it only seems like a half-win.

I don't know why Democrats keep trying to find excuses for why Roberts keeps voting in their favor but isn't really helping them. It's weird.

Roberts saved their ass several times now. Just give him props.

I think the unease with his reasoning is legitimate. The same logic could apply to siding with some horrific precedents in our court history.

Yes that was the "logic". Louisiana's "argument" was that a doctor associated with a hospital would have more "legitimacy", which we all know is bullshit.

I can't really call it an excuse when it's literally what he said. He's made enough bad rulings to know he can't be trusted.

The law is from 2014, Jindal was Governor when it was signed.

Also completely unrelated, but someone pointed out that Roberts' wife is the head of some huge Pro-life group in DC so he arguably has a vested interest in keeping abortion legal >______>

Republicans will just get shitty and admonish the Democrats for taking the low road, even though it's the same shitty stunt they pulled 4 years ago. Trump will probably use it to try and seize power when he loses the election

I don't think anyone is happy or proud to have an abortion. Relieved, perhaps.

If the Democrats end up with all 3 levels they should impeach Kavanaugh to see how far the GOP is willing to go to distance themselves from Trump at that point.

E: Also RBG will obviously retire but I think Breyer needs to as well.

I actually listened to this podcast recently where they talked to a woman who had an abortion. A point they brought up is that no-one really wants to abort a fetus, but sometimes it's the only option that makes sense.

It's an incredibly unpleasant process, and the woman who had an abortion described it as a very trying experience. She had the abortion pill, which involved one oral pill and like four vaginal pills - podcast was from 2014 - and she said that she was glad that she had support from her partner, because otherwise it would have been a much harder experience. But when asked if she would do it all over again knowing what she knows now about the experience, she said that she would. Even with it being as unpleasant as it was, it was the outcome that made the most sense to her and her partner.

Honestly, you should track down some testimony from women who have had abortions to understand the process behind it, including the circumstances behind their unwanted pregnancy and how they made their decision. The more you understand why it happens, the less severe of a reaction you might have to the concept at large.

I think Thomas might retire as well.

Edit: not to help the Democrats. Just because he's fucking old.
