Truly frightening decisions are being made by this “Supreme” Court. I am aghast at today’s decision, equally as much as the overturning of Roe v. Wade and striking down New York’s strict rules for obtaining a license to carry a concealed handgun in public. They seem to think they can make all of the laws in this country! I am beyond angry - I am livid. 😠 🌻

It has long been the goal of Mitch McConnell and going way back to Karl Rove's role with H.W. Bush ((working with the late and evil Lee Atwater AND Roger Stone (!)) to surreptitiously steal democracy removing power from Congress and moving power to the courts AND the presidency. Congress has been relinquishing power to the executive branch for decades. But this project to neuter Congress, empower the courts, disempower the populace has been afoot for decades.
Stone wrote the script that Eastman then parlayed to team Trump. Constitutional democracy, the one we barely recognize, has been under attack for many years, Stones tattooed back speaks to fact!
Another scary thing is how many Federal Judges TFG stacked in courts nationwide. Prolly one for every golf game he played while in office…. Grrrrrrrrrrrr….
Ugh, totally. I have long held the Democratic Party complicit for where this country is today. I left it years ago and still can't find my way back to support it.
Anne, It is easy to see that these are not judgment rulings. These are rulings planned to destroy democracy, by the way of defeating the Democratic Party and all citizens who want law and order, plus fair for all citizens. I have been crying for many years for Democrats to stand up and be heard, but NO, just meek and mild.
I have a strong feeling that this November Dems will come out in droves to defeat the GOP. We need to pick up both Senate and House seats. Lots of women are mad as hell and do not wish to remain second-class citizens to these @#%*§@ jerks!
Hoping you are right.... and Heaven only knows how many OTHER former decisions they will have reversed or extremely watered down or otherwise hobbled by then. THIS NEEDS TO BE HEADLINE NEWS. This stuff is becoming difficult to stay on top of even if you're trying to pay attn.... and the deliveries must be swift, simple to understand for the average person too busy to digest it all.... and every single lie told by faux, etc., needs to be debunked immediately.
Thank you; I hope I am too. You know, it’s not just women that are extremely ticked off now. Everyone is suffering from climate change, from farmers to fire workers… we need a whole new wave of protests!!
I read The NY Times and the Washington Post every day. It is true that we are bombarded with a lot to digest, the folks that believe the lies & disinformation most likely won’t be swayed in their opinions, then again many of them get their news from FB. I work with the public and see scores and scores of nationwide/worldwide people every day… while I do not get to talk in depth with each and every one of them I am a good reader of types of people. I can see and hear more than I let on, but as much of a good “judge of character” that I may think I am… lots of folks come along and surprise the heck out of me (for the better.)
For tonight I will rest my head and give thanks for a breath of fresh air named Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

YES, Claire

Touché ~~ You are absolutely right, Claire.

Good point, Anne
Yep. This is what long term vision looks like. I wish Dems weren’t so damn myopic!

You notice Thomas isn't attacking Loving vs. Virginia. Wonder why that is?
Touché, Wendy.
Hypocrites abound!

The SCOTUS rulings will come with strong resistance, civil war is eminent.
