Good mornin’, starshine
The Earth says, “Hello”
You twinkle above us
Coons, LBR, and Biden twinkle below…
The Republican Court of Religious Orthodoxy & Zealotry is partying like it is 1868.
Essentially, Justice Alito argued that for an unwritten liberty right to be legitimate, it must be deeply rooted in the nation’s history and have been understood to exist when the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. Back then, he wrote, many states had criminalized abortion and there was no understanding that women had a right to end their pregnancies.
Many people are wondering how this leaves Justice Clarance Thomas marriage to insane rightwing nutcase Ginni Thomas intact, but invoking under the well known precedent of “LOL, Fuck YOU!” Thomas seems ready to damn the torpedoes.
Collins is shocked.
Biden thinks Dems need to vote HARDER!
Coons thinks this came out of the blue, (had nothing to do with the US Senate).
Lisa Blundt Rochester (rightly) thinks the work of the Republican Court of Religious Orthodoxy & Zealotry will fall “disproportionately on women of color and in rural communities across the country” but (wrongly) thinks the answer is to VOTE HARDER.
Can someone let me know when the Democratic strategy of offering nothing to voters other than scolding admonitions to “VOTE HARDER!” has actually worked? Because from where I’m sitting it seems like offering voters nothing except scolding admonitions to vote harder is exactly the strategy that got us here.
