SCOTUS Thread (News and Discussion) II: Rape Isn't On My Calendar

[Dimmauk]

I should probably take off from work/DC early just in case tbh.

Yup.

Is a woman's vagina going to be a crime scene now? If life begins at conception, does child support start then too? Is there going to be a abortion underground railroad?

[Kaslo]

Roberts going to rightfully go down in history as one of the worst runs of a chief justice with the egregious social rights decisions on his watch. He got Obergafell, but had to be dragged kicking and screaming to that. But the fallout from citizens, the voting rights act, and now this will absolutely sink his legacy.

Yeah, how dare he have 5 justices that disagreed with him here.

[Roranora]

just found out..

Today is a dark day in US history. It is beyond sad. This will kill women. I don't know what else to say right now.

[Tyche]

It's his name that's going to be attached to this court. When people look back in history and landmark decisions, they reference the chief justice of that court. And to be fair, Roberts didn't side with the minority either.

[Andalusian girls]

shameful, shameful day

[Tyrath]

Over/under on how long it takes to reinstate...+/- 12 years.

With the makeup of this court...over.

[Dimmauk]

Thomas straight telling conservatives to bring it and they will look at gay marriage, conception, etc... is scary

Don't worry man. Archie has assured me they don't have the votes.

[NynJa]

And you can clearly take that to the bank because Archi is never wrong...rather he will never admit to being wrong.

Obergefell passed with Kennedy Ginsburg Kagan Sotomayor and Breyer, and we got Gorsuch / Kavanaugh / Barrett replacing Ginsburg and Kennedy. not sure where Archibald's confidence comes from in that one. even if Roberts flips they have the votes to overturn. we'd need both him and Gorusch to defect, which is possible, but not exactly super probable.

contraception and sodomy are prooobbaaabblyyyy safer but who knows most of these morons weren't judging at the time either was decided

[Fiye]

You said it yourself, dems have a razor thin majority which isn't enough to do shit with our government. All they can do is block and even then they can't block everything.

All the dems are saying to do is vote and its like lmao voting rights and gerrymandering have gotten worse like god damn I know they're not controlled opposition but jesus christ they do act like it.

He's a straight white man in California. That's where his confidence comes from lol

Remind me who wrote the opinion expanding sex discrimination to gay people.

[Xno Kappa]

Old white people had to do something to replenish their dwindling pool of gullible redneck idiot voters.

[archibaldcrane]

I could be wrong, the future is a mystery. But I doubt it, like I doubted Roe would be overturned until ACB got on the court (at which point I considered it likely).

[Anoat]

So where’s the map showing where states already have abortion laws on the books awaiting the overturn of Roe? Or can I imagine it’s just a swath of the south

[Spicyryan]

Fuck every one that didn't vote. Every last one of you.

What an oversimplification of social and systemic problems.

There is something like 26 states that have been waiting for this to happen.

It's worse than that

Time for me to finally get snipped.
