Exactly. It’s been their only policy for the past 3 decades, besides “Let’s start wars and let the Dems deal with the consequences” and “Let’s give tax cuts to the extremely wealthy and let the Dems deal with the consequences”

According to the current gun law ruling, only things that existed at the time of the 2nd Amendment ratification is applicable. So did they just rule that one doesn’t have a right to own an AR-15, computer or an automobile?

It's been a really shitty past few years in our country for a lot of reasons.
Add this to the growing list of what will go down in history as one of or many failures.

So, yeah, today is probably worse.

How long until we’re one of the shithole countries?

Roe vs. Wade has always been on shaky ground from a legal perspective. I fully believe that no state should have any rule in place forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy to term but the notion that there is some sort of Constitutional right to such a situation is kinda weak. There really is nothing in the Constitution that explicitly provides such a right. Alito is not wrong in that aspect.

“Abortion is not “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition,” according to Alito, and, therefore, not protected as a right.”

But slavery, bigotry, oppression of women, shooting innocent natives and systematic genocide was what built this country. Welcome to The Greatest Country Ever!!

So much for “mah rights”. Codified in Law: when and what kind of medical care women can get and who you can do what with. The Soviet Politburo and Imams send their congratulations.

fortunately numbnutz kept everyone in check, and that this decision was only leaked as a draft opinion

so glad it didn’t come to fruition

You think 5 of these justices would vote to keep these rights?
