There was never an illusion about what they were doing, this is on those that didn’t vote or threw it away

The Supreme Court is the arm of the Radical Christian Group The GQP

Reminder: Yertle McConnell swore an oath that he would follow the precedent established by the Obama SC nomination.

And still people will vote Republican because gas costs a lot rn
puffyjacket69
Republicans have been terrorists subverting democracy and the will of the people for decades. They are fascist scum.
ICannotSanctionURBuffoonery
Yet the Dems refuse to even use the Democratic process the way it was intended. To prevent fascism.
troutslap
What conservatives have gone over the past ten years is erode norms that would have one time brought shame to they and their party.

Republicans: An underhanded win is still a win, and if that doesn't work, cheat, and if you can't cheat, buy off the refs.
HerrBisch
And if you can't do that then fucking murder everyone. The Republican Party is a death cult.
pixelhigh
A Republican told me if you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying
JoylessGreyhound
That's the only way they COULD win. The honour system is unfit for politics!
JeffreyDeTar
Don't forget A LOT of people didn't show up to vote for Hillary. So, uh, how's that "Bernie or Bust" thing goin'?
PunnyTiger
I mean, that's their slogan, right?
viciouscycleboy
Also, RBG didn't retire when she should have and Kennedy was bought and paid for to retire in the middle of Trump's term.
sadurdaynight
The party of "traditions" loves abusing them to get what they want.
GreatOdinsTaint
Yes, and Democrats better start fighting just as dirty. Stop with this "noble opposition" high road bullshit.
Jewdakris
But that's the rules, if you don't like them change them - every dickhead libertarian I've ever met
IsolatedAsshole
We know. We fucking know. But how do we stop them from continuing their bullshit? That's what I want to know.
Blze001
I don't think we can. We're on the path that leads to either a fascist state or civil war now, they won't even pretend to follow rules.
YertIeTheTurtle
Until next time kids!
robincaid
They don’t play by the rules cause i think the goal is to destroy our democracy anyway.
hardytardigrade
Exactly. Which is why, unfortunately, we can't simply use their tactics. They also would simply not work as well for our side anyway.
WorkSnakes
Oh, I remember.
padillafedericosr3842
You just got JAMMED!!
OverpricedCrayon
Let’s not forget Democrats had a super majority in 2008-2010 and didn’t bother to pass a law protecting right to abortion. I’m pissed at all
RVME
Never forget that most of what they do is not at the polling place, but the preparations behind it. This a example of double standards.
thinkybrainpains
These religious freaks will do anything to force us to live by their laws because they think they are doing God's work. they are crazy
jackwagon311
youcantgiveAbabybooze
Oh they know they're not doing gods work, it a convenient cover for their fascism.
MtnDewDrank
I still can't get over our highest court got hijacked by a crazy religious minority.
tarptastic
The religious right has been working towards this since they desegregated schools. R’s vote in EVERY election. They prove voting works.
DrClaww
When a qualifying religious institute doesn't pay taxes, you have a shit ton of bribe money left over for the politicians
fivefrozenfishfingers
It's an extraordinarily embarrassing point in our nation's history. And these people are just getting started.
icyanddicey
It's simple. The gop wanted it and the dem let it.

It's insane that any judge sides with any political alignment, I thought that would fall under judicial disqualification
XanderCorsaj
You're completely right, but rules and sanity are actively disintegrating like it's too-crazy-to-be-real but yet it is.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
There are a few problems. One, language, especially in complicated structures, is not cut and dried. There is wiggle room for >

interpretation. The right to an abortion was pretty much attached to the right to privacy. The right to privacy is not actually a right in>
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
the constitution. It was interpreted as a right because of how other rights sort of weave around it. But was never specifically listed down>
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
This is where interpretation comes in. You can interpret that the right to privacy exists, because it is kinda alluded to. But you don't >

have to. You can take a literal argument that it is not written down, and therefore it does not technically exist. You can even explain >

If the USA required judges to either be neutral or to support a minority party (i.e. not Republican or Democrat) then they'd have no judges.
YouWillNeverFindMe
They can have preferences in private, sure, it should not affect how they rule however. Like, I'm a Christian, sosialist conservative, I can
YouWillNeverFindMe
still observe that a 12 week minimum is objectively better then what... 2 weeks they talk about? At 2 weeks people could get abortion out of
YouWillNeverFindMe
panic over the time limit. 12 weeks, with free consultation, time to think etc. would result in fewer botched abortions and broken homes.
YouWillNeverFindMe
I don't "support" abortions, but it should be legal, and IMO they should receive a few free sessions with a psychologist before and after.

Just a reminder that both dems and repubs are responsible. Dems have had the power to persist and have instead kowtowed to repubs every time
HerrBisch
Kinda, but the fact is if you got rid of the Republican Party the problem would go away, if you got rid of the Dems it'd get a lot worse.
butterflybuttler221
But the dems are complicit they benefit from the repub monster so they only fight it enough to get another vote even when they could stop it
LizardEnterprises
Yeah, but just because they're both responsible doesn't mean they're equally responsible. Dems need to be better. Reps need to stop being.
butterflybuttler221
I don't disagree, but I think its time we stop pretending like we can count on dems for anything, we need to take more/other action
LizardEnterprises
1/2 think its time we stop pretending dems are a monolith. The primaries exist, use them. But don't disengage entirely because no one's
LizardEnterprises
2/2 hanged Manchin yet. Even the worst dem is better than the best Rep, and a bad tool is still a tool until you can replace it.
butterflybuttler221
I'm not saying don't participate but yeah they are worse than no tool at all bc dems are making ppl believe that they've done their part 1
HygieneIsOverrated
Untrue. Congressional action is a numbers game, and Rs have always had the numbers/positions to obstruct, plain and simple. VOTE.
OverpricedCrayon
What about the super majority when Obama was first elected? Had it for two years. Didn’t leverage it.
HygieneIsOverrated
He put in Sotomayor (Aug. '09) and Kagan (Aug. '10) during those two years. The next opening (Scalia) was when Mitch was Senate Majority.
OverpricedCrayon
I’m talking about passing laws. Not the Supreme Court.
HygieneIsOverrated
ACA...but that was it. I wish there had been more.
butterflybuttler221
That's bs repubs have pushed a ton of shit thru with the same numbers the dems have had. Dems let repubs postpone SC appointment under 1
butterflybuttler221
Obama for over a YEAR! this isn't working anymore. Im not saying don't vote, I'm saying we need to do more than vote, bc it's not working 2
HygieneIsOverrated
"Dems let Repubs"? Mitch McConnell was Senate Majority Leader at the time and simply refused to bring it to the floor, and there was no 1/2
HygieneIsOverrated
...measure in place to force his hand. That was 100% on Mitch alone. Don't blame Dems for shit Rs pull when they learn to game the system2/2
butterflybuttler221
That's a lame excuse. If our whole system grinds to a halt for one stubborn asshole then the system doesn't work! & if the system doesn't 1
