MODERATORS
3-5 fewer than he should have sadly.
Did you guys hear about Jared's laptop? Real scary stuff. People are talking about it.
Him personally? Not a single one, he's a tight fisted cunt. How many abortions he probably caused other people to pay for is a significantly higher number.
He could have afforded five more…
It will happen suddenly, unilaterally, and in that weird messy way where it gets tied up in court for forever but somehow goes into effect anyway, or it gets blocked but has a "chilling effect" on the population such that the ultimate goal is nonetheless achieved.
It will be stupid, there will be countless of hours of argument wasted on whether he can "actually" do it even though he just did, and people will be screwed over.
If you don't like how that sounds, please do something now.
Trump lying, who would have guessed that?
I laughed when I heard him say he'll take a moderate position and make everyone happy or whatever he tried to pull. Trying to play both sides and it makes no sense.
Every headline like this can be shortened to "Trump is lying"
Hey, if his mouth is moving, lies are coming out.
How is this walking meat bag of cocaine and cholesterol still alive ?
*Congress will ban it nationwide.
It will start with Trump appointed judges slowly attacking Blue States rights.
No he won't, because he can't even if he wants to. Overturning Roe sent the issue back to the states, it is no longer a Federal matter. This is fear porn for the Left base.
Lol, "the Supreme Court can't reverse Roe v. Wade, it's settled law. The left is always needlessly fear mongering."
"Brett Kavanagh swore under oath he would not be a part of overturning Roe v. Wade. The left ruined this poor man's reputation."
"Mitch McConnel won't force through a justice in an elec..." who am I kidding no one thought that.
It is absolutely not. The Republican party voters cannot leave this as a states issue.
If you watched the first Republican National Debate, there is almost widespread agreement that the republican party will start attacking Blue states rights in the courts until they can get a federal ban passed somehow.
I cannot state how incredibly wrong you are about this.
Republican voters will not elect people who want to leave it up to the states and think the abortion issue is settled.
Your comment reads like "Don't threaten me with the supreme court!" in 2016. Overturning Roe was fear porn for the Left too, but the Right was crazy enough to actually do it. It's incredibly foolish to write this off, only for the next Republican administration to ban it.
If precedent mattered, then Barrett wouldn't have been considered by the Senate, since they had just established in 2016 that you can't confirm a judge in an election year. The hypocrisy clearly isn't a disqualifier in Barrett's eyes. Alito thinks the Court is quite literally above the law. And Thomas has a sweet gig where he's getting loads of free shit and vacations in return for being as conservative as possible.
Don't assume that the Court will be consistent, especially since they were already inconsistent by overturning Roe. They'd already blowing up in their face, and I say we should toss barrels of gasoline on that fire. We need a heavily blue Congress to remind Alito that he is a servant, not a king.

In a President's second term, I believe that was the description.
McConnell certainly wasn't that craven when he made up his stupid rule that he would go back on only 4 years later.
Drinking age is a state issue too, but the federal government controls it fully.
Yes, with the club of Highway funding. What pretense can they use for abortion? Neither party is going to go after medicare/medicaid, or anything health related, they would be destroyed at the polls.
Anything they want. Republicans are already planning way to go after Medicare. Don’t put it past them to figure out how to do it.
