the narrative that Dems didn't take this seriously enough is misguided, as not even women's health care workers and most Republicans didn't take it seriously. A year ago, the vast, vast majority where expecting a hollowing out, not a removal of Roe v. Wade.

In fact this is the culmination of decades of strategic planning and it just happens that they just now accomplished the total unashamed chutzpah to reveal their insidious long-running chicanery after achieving the last three pretend judges who lied under oath to attain their positions.

And I have been warning about this (amongst others) for years...

Vision America's Rick Scarborough was a guest on Gordon Klingenschmitt's "Pray In Jesus Name" program recently, where he explained that God is blessing the state of Texas because "Christians have infiltrated" and taken over the state GOP. Scarborough was discussing his efforts to mobilize right-wing pastors to get involved in politics across the nation and noting that he has had a great deal of success in Texas; so much so that if one now attends an annual Republican Party convention in Texas, it feels as if one is attending a revival meeting.
It is not "strident atheists" who are trying to enforce their world view wherever they can.

It is not "strident atheists" who are insidiously trying to dominate the "seven mountains of power" and take over the country.

While you are fighting so hard on the side of theists fending off those damned "strident atheists", theists are pressing on quietly with their strategic plans.

From Here
The George Grant quote cited below comes from a book he published in 1987 with Dominion Press, entitled The Changing of the Guard. Yes, they have been aiming for this for a very long time. And for a very long time they have worked under the cover of our ignorance. Who could have predicted a few nut cases could ever acquire such influence in our politics and our military? (No apologies to Condoleeza Rice).
"Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ-to have dominion in the civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness.
But it is dominion that we are after. Not just a voice.

It is dominion we are after. Not just influence.

It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time.

It is dominion we are after.

World conquest. That’s what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less.

If Jesus Christ is indeed Lord, as the Bible says, and if our commission is to bring the land into subjection to His Lordship, as the Bible says, then all our activities, all our witnessing, all our preaching, all our craftsmanship, all our stewardship, and all our political action will aim at nothing short of that sacred purpose.

Thus, Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land – of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ. It is to reinstitute the authority of God’s Word as supreme over all judgments, over all legislation, over all declarations, constitutions, and confederations."

And that still should have been a reason for the dems to have made it law... they have had numerous opportunities to do so and never bothered... and of course this is because they did not want to since most of them are staunchly religious themselves.

Which may be why NARAL was tweeting out that you are not a feminist if you don't support trans-rights. After the news was announced that Roe v. Wade was being overturned, when even a moron would realize that they needed every ally they could get?

Doesn't SCOTUS rule on law and the constitution? Were they wrong or do you disagree simply because you don't like the ruling?

When the same sex marriage law was passed, I heard that it's the law of the land and the courts have spoken so everyone needs to be an adult and accept the ruling of the high court.

Does the ruling of the high court only count if you and yours agree with it?

Is that why democrats are now whining and moaning that the court is not legitimate and it must be dismantled or left members added to make the decision "right"?

And democrats complain that the GOP is a threat to democracy.

Suck it up buttercup. Law of the land. The court has spoken.

Expected to win the nomination now.

And it gets better! Kentucky had a trigger law set up so the moment the Supreme Court overturned Roe Vs Wade, abortion was banned in Kentucky.
Presto! Now you see it, now you don't!

I must say this is about the only "trigger law" I feel comfortable with. Great day for unborn children of the United States of America!

Since it's now a state issue, there will still be many states where abortion will remain legal for those that choose abortion. I noticed California intends to be an abortion friendly state. Lots of minorities to stamp out.

The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-212) is a United States law that recognizes an embryo or fetus in utero as a legal victim, if they are injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence.

Unborn "victim"?

Victim: a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action

Seems to me the law recognizes the unborn as a "person".

Sad, sad day indeed.

All rights not directly stated verbatim in the constitution or amendments are now up for grabs. So... pretty much the constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on any longer. The confederates finally got what they wanted. They destroyed the union. They're really not going to like the eventual and inevitable outcome but what can you do. Spoiled children throwing temper tantrums never want to listen to reason.

Of course, the only bright side of this situation is that states can now outright ban guns. Remember, "gun" isn't written anywhere in the constitution or any of the amendments so they're now up for grabs as well. Let the Supreme Court throw its whole weight behind blocking any such laws and then we'll get to watch them slide into irrelevancy when the states tell them to try and stop them. After all, they're the ones that made up these new rules from whole cloth in the first place. It's going to be an ugly ride but I'll love watching Republicans having to deal with their own hypocrisy thrown right back into their faces.

California appears to be the only state that might actually do such a thing and I really do hope that they do. The governor here seems to be one of the only high ranking Democrats actually speaking out against all this Republican insanity. He hasn't actually done anything yet though, which is rather annoying to say the least.

C'mon! Let's get this **** show on the road already!

Remember, Rome wasn't sacked in a day!

He's got a point, though. Abortion rights are only a Democrat issue by default, because the other side has wanted so badly to outlaw it. As a party they aren't actually pro-choice. They've used abortion rights for campaign purposes, but have shied away from taking concrete steps to protect those rights, and they're always the first on the chopping block when compromise comes around.

Case in point: the day after the decision was leaked a few weeks ago, Nancy Pelosi and a couple of other prominent Democrats were due to fly out to Texas to campaign for Henry Cuellar, a conservative, rabidly anti-choice blue dog Democrat incumbent. With their help, he beat his progressive, pro-choice primary challenger by less than three hundred votes. They could have canceled their trip to support someone who is currently applauding this SCOTUS decision, for the optics if nothing else. They did not. That is how little abortion rights actually mean to them.

And on the very day of the decision, even as a swarm of protestors was descending on SCOTUS, they gathered to celebrate passage of a marginally effective gun control bill that will probably get slapped down by that same court anyways.

They sang "God Bless America" together.

My understanding is they were gathered on the steps on the east facing side of the capitol. The protest was happening in their field of few not a few hundred yards away.

They're the Supreme Court, and are dominated by people who really don't give a crap about the law. They'll make the ruling they want to make, and won't care that any legal reasoning behind the decision is nonsensical*.

And once that ruling is made, there is no one else in the US who can unmake it. You're stuck with it until you (somehow) completely change the makeup of the court.


*For example:

Quote:
Kavanaugh, in dissent, viewed the case through a different lens. Whereas Roberts began by noting that COVID-19 has “killed thousands of people in California and more than 100,000 nationwide,” Kavanaugh crafted a narrative of invidious religious discrimination. His dissent reads like a brief by the church, not a judicial opinion. Kavanaugh alleged that Newsom’s order “indisputably discriminates against religion” in violation of the free exercise clause. For support, the justice insisted that “comparable secular businesses,” like grocery stores and pharmacies, “are not subject” to the same restrictions imposed on churches. California must have a “compelling justification” for this disparate treatment, and he saw none.
Justice Beer Bong's "analysis" here just utterly ignores the facts of the case, and the justifications for treating churches differently from grocery stores, and essentially made the legal argument, "Nuh-un! I'm ruling the way I wanna rule!" He lost that time, but this is what you're going to see more of.

There's starting to be a lot of talk about that. It's not going to happen as long as Trump lives. Regardless of what the GOP establishment may wish, they are up against a personality cult and that's something that they are not going to break. De Santis can't even hope for a VP slot (with the potential of allowing him to become the power behind the feeble minded throne) because, if he runs a serious primary campaign against Trump, he'll eventually offend Trump and Trump will always hold a grudge against anyone he perceives as not being 100% loyal to the man.

In any case, this is not a Trump problem. This is a GOP rot problem. Any GOP candidate right now (and De Santis in particular) means the end of democracy in the USA. The goal of today's GOP is to retain power at all costs as a minority ruling party. Trump's example has shown them the way forward and they have no scruples in following through (now that they understand what is possible).

You must have missed the part about how one of the rulings from SCOTUS the very day before Dobbs dropped was about how states can regulate concealed carry. The TLDR; is that your premise of firearm regulation being turned into strictly a state concern is false. Also, any and all regulations at the state level in all 50 states are probably going to get tied up in the courts pretty much in perpetuity to figure out what is and what isn't constitutional.

This is radical centrism in action. The justification is that they want to be seen as the center so and therefore they don't want to back some "leftist" who may not appeal to some hypothetical moderate Republican voter who might be turned. Never mind that, when faced with the choice of voting for a Republican running as a Republican or a Republican running as a Democrat, those who may have been somewhat inclined to vote for a Republican running as a Democrat will be happier voting for the real thing every single time.

This strategy appeared to work during the Bill Clinton times and now it is the only electoral strategy they know. Ultimately, this is how Democrats snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at the national level even when they should have the numbers (it's been the case for 2 decades now).

In what sense doesn't it deserve those things? Every system is based on an elite group ruling. The founding fathers wrote about this. If you rely on passively voting, you get a choice between two flavours of whatever the non-passive, organised people decide you are going to get to choose between.

Facts don't matter.

SCOTUS could potentially seize on such a piece of legislation & make the claim that it has legislated fetal personhood. If they do so, the claim that they are obligated (strictly as perfectly fair and impartial judicial actors, of course) to apply constitutional protections to anything from a zygote onward may follow. After that, it's a matter of picking your rights based justification to declare that allowing abortion anywhere in the country is unconstitutional (from 14th Amendment equal protection to 2nd Amendment not being born prevents persons from bearing arms —the specifics don't really matter & they can be all of the above).

I agree. The legal justification for not banning abortion in the U.S. and the basis for the Roe v Wade decision was the right to privacy. Not reproductive freedom, bodily autonomy, nothing like that.

And that always seemed a thin twig to perch upon. The ERA languishes and there have been no serious attempts to reboot that effort. Dems could have pushed for legislation codifying the right to an abortion as federal law and used the supremacy clause to force states to allow abortions. But the have not made any serious effort in that regard for some time.
