Re: Supreme Court vacancy
^^ Thats a good article. I didnt know republicans have seated 14 of the last 18 justices. Kinda fucked up considering this country is majority democrat. Senate allocation of seats just favors rural states so much.
Lets see how things play out. I dont think they will ever over turn Roe but they will allow undue restictions that abortion will effectively become a States rights issue. States can slap on the hospital requirements and bans after 15 weeks. obergefell (2015 - same sex) .. this case took a long time through the Courts. I would protest if they tried to overturn this and I imagine they will. this would mean same sex couples would not have the same rights and protections under estate laws, hospital visitation, health insurance, pensions, etc. If you are cheering on this rushed Barrett confirmation .. youre cheering on same sex couples being discriminated against. im assuming they will overturn obergefell but its a safe assumption. McConnell has certainly made the SCOTUS a political stick now. SCOTUS has one foot in the grave in terms of being apolitical and revered by the american people. I see it as a stained institution now. But I want to see how they rule and the mental gymnastics they go through first before supporting blowing it up and packing the court and making it a kangaroo court.
