Why would it get shut down if it wins the case?

How often are they getting sued?

If you think you can't do anything, remember, the Second Amendment isn't just for rural white people.

Plausible deniability is absolutely a thing

Like these assholes care about that.

The kicker, he's in Congress, a Senator no less.

No shit. Do you think he wouldn't support doing exactly what he said?

Republicans are legitimately evil. There's no exaggeration here.

Fuck this is awful

Well, fuck.

at this point, no american woman should ever have sex again until this is solved.

Not gonna agree with this though lol

Is this really happening? Jfc

The right is a fucking cancer on this country.

Like I said a few minutes ago, the fact we never codify shit once we get a ruling is exactly why the GOP played this long game bullshit.

But also, fuck Ruth Bader for not retiring while Obama was in office. We shouldn't have extremely elderly people ruling on shit that'll take decades to even begin to work towards the conditions to overturn.

Machin would never let this happen and if he didn't stop it Bob Casey would

I'm skeptical of their source, or should I say, lack of one

The article links fucking directly to the draft opinion. My money is that it was leaked by either Sotomayor or her clerk Amit Jain.

I really can't fucking believe how worse America is getting. How's this even possible? It's not like it crept up or anything, it's been obvious, but jesus fucking christ how's it getting THIS far?

So looking it over I could only find the following mentions, so it looks like its not as bad as the tweet makes it seem, but I could have easily missed another part. If anyone found anything other than these two pages with it let me know:

edit: fuck those didnt come out great, but I think its pages 27 and 62 (62 for sure is the second pic).

Yes, she is.

She knew she was in poor health when the Democrats held a 60 vote supermajority, and instead stroked her own ego to stay on the court until she died at quite possibly the most important time in US history since 1865.

Fuck Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

At this point, Megatron is a preferable alternative to the Republican Party. At least the suffering wouldn't be prolonged

Change it to "women should never have sex with any guy that votes Republican" and I think we can all agree

It just sucks. the GOP is a massive racketeering organization for the super elite and it feels like they're unstoppable. They convinced most of this country that the only people trying to help them are the enemies. The Democrats are too spineless to do anything about them.

just a reminder that this is all Obama and RBG's fault

Codifying abortion rights into law ASAP was one of his big campaign promises and even with a supermajority and the ACLU calling on him to do it multiple times, he never even attempted it

And RBG refused to retire despite knowing she was in poor health when Obama could get a justice through

With what quite a few Republicans have said I don't think that will work, unfortunately.

Oh boy...

The best thing that could come out of this is the complete demolition of the conservative movement from this massive blunder.

Because this will be the most unpopular move made by the SC in a long dang time.

Ya rape would fucking skyrocket.

Remember when conservatives repeatedly said Roe v. Wade wouldn't be touched, and claimed any suggestion otherwise was fearmongering

The biggest nerds alive are worried (or cynically pretending to be) about the leak

Wait what?

Maybe don't write up shitty drafts if you don't want people to whistleblow how terrible they are.

Is that first tweet seriously saying the left is doing this?

Conservatives sure seem to love assuring people they're not going to do X horrible thing and that anyone who suggests they will is a hysterical fear monger, all along planning to do X at the first opportunity. An entire political movement built on gaslighting, grifting, and keeping the "bad people" in their place.

The only thing left to do is to defeat them at this point. They've shown their true colors a thousand times over. They must be completely politically and culturally sidelined because this is what they do with power when they get it.

"This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin" jfc talk about an overreaction. This ruling would be a grave sin, and the American people deserve to know this shit

Agreed.

Also, I am snipped so no danger

If I am ever single again, I will say I am a "snipped liberal" on dating apps

No I'm pretty sure it's the fault of the rat bastards who are doing it.

Protip: Any time a conservative says somebody is "fearmongering", it's code for "I support this thing you're worried about and hope it happens"

Great country

there's plenty of blame to go around, but if you want it on one head, it's Mitch McConnell's.

The dems had 50 years to make laws legalizing abortion but they never did because its always been a convenient campaign issue

like what Obama did. Said he would make it into law asap and then never did a thing after he was elected

i hate this man

Did PrinceFish delete his post or did he really get an NKL for calling abortion murder and saying those who support it support murder

"It's the Democrats' fault that Republicans are moving society back a few decades"

The concern trolling from the right over this being leaked is the most disingenuous bullshit of all time and they are only using it to deflect away from the fact that the court that they've illegitimately packed is doing away with a right that something like 60 plus percent of Americans don't want done away with.

pretty much.

WIll racial segregation come back, how about interracial marriage, outlawed also? This is a scary precedent.

yes

this whole mess could've been avoided if they made it a law during the many opportunities they had

Evil and dumb as fucking rocks.

Saw a video earlier of a state senator in Oklahoma who didnt understand why ending ectopic pregnancies was a good thing

This dumb mother fucker literally wrote a bunch of questions about it to ask when he could have spent 30 seconds googling what an ectopic pregnancy was to find out that it has a literal zero chance of viability but that would require Republicans to have functioning brains.

The Republican Party is cancer

If they ever gain majority control again this country will not survive. Thats not being over dramatic, thats a literal fact.

Get the fuck out and vote this year
