I have no illusions. They are going to weaponize their majority on the court to completely change society. Very possible I’m naive. I just don’t hear much of a push for those things to be the marriage issue. Guess shouldn’t take anything for granted.
People really don’t think places like Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama and Florida wouldn’t push to ban gay marriage in an instant?
Jesus Christ at you people with your head in the sand on LGBTQ+ issues. They’ll outlaw gay marriage in an instant in red states. It doesn’t matter what your friends think or how you live your life. Politicians are ghouls just waiting to end this stuff.
Florida just made it illegal for a gay teacher to talk about and have pictures with their partners in their classes and you don’t think they’d ban gay marriage?
the only thing holding nc back from insanity is roy cooper being an electoral god. the state house is insane and the lt governor is a psychotic qanon guy and roy is term limited in 2024 so should be fun!
Roberts makes a lot more sense. He was clearly wanting to chip away at Roe rather than overturning it. What motive would Gorsuch have?
They always tip their hand like this. They give out directions to shitheads in opinions regularly. These cases are done.
Every unenumerated right the Supreme Court has blessed in the past fifty years under the 14th Amendment is under attack by this unpublished draft opinion. Every single one. They all flow from the same logical premise that R v W created. SCOTUS is opening the doors for conservative legislatures to butt fuck our country, or at least the South, backwards 100 years in terms of civil liberties. Gay marriage, interracial marriage, affirmative action, the right to contraception, sodomy - ALL of it is on the chopping block. I cannot stress how dangerous Alito's made up "deeply rooted in our nation's history and traditions" test the majority is sponsoring truly is.
I still can’t get over the pushback we got about saying just make it rotation of randoms. You’d literally be lucky to find 6 people as evil as the current crop or conservative justices. ACB literally is only on the court because she’s an insane evil ass Christian fundamentalist.
we’re going back to the 50’s guys. Voting restrictions, abortion bans, gay rights will no longer exist. This is it
The Real UT i just wanna know if you realize this is a logical conclusion to your “just vote” suggestion
Hell just a couple of weeks ago one of our piece of shit senators openly suggested rolling back Loving in the name of “states rights”. Anyone who believes they’ll stop at Roe is living in a fantasy world
it literally is right now. The Republican Party is taking away women’s constitutionally guaranteed rights. That’s the point of all of this
“Vote them out.” Any comments on the gutting of the VRA? Gerrymandering? Also, abortion has been a constitutional right to entire life you dumb fuck
Super fucking cool that the guy whose wife just tried to overthrow our democracy got to help decide that we should turn our country into the handmaid's tale. Sweet system we've got here.
It’s not just Saul though we have a few others too. Some I thought had the ability to process information in front of them.
Our legislature changed the marriage process so that probate judges wouldn't have to issue marriage licenses to gay people.
For anyone unconcerned about everything that stems from this why the fuck do you think the Supreme Court decided those cases in the first place?
Soooo....9 untouchable god kings are able to make something legal but not reverse that decision. Weird logic to me. How about the legislative branches decide laws. What a novel fucking concept.
Imagine arguing that minorities can appropriately elect whoever they want in red states in the year of our lord 2022
For every idiot posting about state legislature's won't take the bait - please take a look at the below tweet which was posted earlier in this thread. A moderator should pin this tweet to the top of every page of this thread. For every idiot posting that the state legislatures won't have a race to the bottom to outlaw gay marriage, interracial marriage, sodomy and others if given the chance - You are a fool. Not only will they instantly ban these things; they will revel in creating punishments for these things that sidestep other constitutional triggers that could otherwise nullify their new laws. It will take the state legislatures less than six months to undo fifty years of progress. It will be a repulsive and sickening display of authoritarian rule by a group of people stuck in the past.
My guy like 250 anti lgbtq bills were passed last year nation wide in naz… red states. Fuck you been?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/27/opinion/aoc-crenshaw-republicans-democracy.html please read but I get you're all in your feels and grievance posting because that's what your politics consist of
So back in the 1970s, 9 god kings decreed that abortion is federally legal and because of the precedent of that decree, it is forever untouchable?
I was limiting what I was saying to marriage only. I definitely think attacks on gays are coming, and more specifically on transgender. Just based on my experiences, it seemed like people had moved on from the marriage issue, but that may be completely wrong.
Normal people have. Politicians haven’t. Remember that for everything you think is fine now that used to not be fine outlined in this line of cases.
