I could, but then I'd be you.

Or he's vaccinated (and his family is as well and tested negative) and asymptomatic and likely won't need to be admitted to the hospital.

Yeah, just read he's double vaccinated (since January???)

Kavanaugh Asks if Texas Abortion Law Could Be Model for Bans on Gun Rights, Free Speech

[Texas Solicitor General Judd Stone] argued in court that the state cannot be sued in federal court over the law because it is enforced through individual lawsuits brought by citizens, not government officials.

Kavanaugh asked Stone about the "implications of your position for other constitutional rights"—including possible infringements on gun rights, free exercise of religion rights and free speech.

The associate justice, appointed by former President Donald Trump, specifically posed a theoretical law that would allow the seller of an AR-15 semi-automatic weapon to be sued for $1 million.

The Texas solicitor general acknowledged the possibility but said Congress could pass laws to protect such rights. Kavanaugh seemed wary of such intervention.

"Some of those examples, I think, would be quite difficult to get legislation through Congress," Kavanaugh said.

*Anakin and Padme meme that the Supreme Court will overturn this shitty law, right... right?*

Following the arguments today and Roe v. Wade is going to be overturned, 5-4. The liberal justices plus probably Roberts will vote in favor of keeping the doctrine, the other 5 don't even care about the case. They probably wrote their majority decision already.

Are you basing this on the questions asked? Because the questions asked by Justices provide like no indication on how they will actually rule.

...Have you seen who is on the bench?

Yes. And Gorsuch isn't the type to really shake the conservative tree unless its for pro-business decisions.

[Zealot]

I haven't seen much for Gorsuch but Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Barrett are all not even entertaining the idea that the forced birth attorney has to explain his position.

Well if Gorsuch ends up being the unlikely savior of Roe V Wade I'll...well be happy about it. But not seeing it.

[Melena]

Gorsurch strikes me more of a Roberts type in that he is conservative, but has no interest in turning over existing precedent. We shit on Kavanaugh a lot as well, and rightfully so and he's pissed Trump and the MAGA fanatics a few times as well by not overturning things based on precedent.

[Kaslo]

At worst, I don't see Roe v. Wade being "overturned" but providing another exemption, or remanding for additional fact finding.

[Tyrath]

At worst they will slowly chip away the rights, got it.

Which is why it's so damn important to essentially borrow a page from the Republican's playbook and even if you absolutely loathe the candidate, if that's your choice between them and a republican, you pinch your nose and vote D.

You would rather the worst... be worse?
