    Massive difference in what was passed in Florida and outlawing gay marriage. Nobody gives a shit who people fuck or marry.

    I assume abortions are still legal for fetuses known to be gay and/or non-white

    I’m with you. :idk:

    Abortion has been, is, and will always be controversial; I thought that outside of that hardliner third that religiously votes ticket R, p much everybody else had generally accepted the idea, but I wouldn’t be surprised to be wrong.

    And Alito’s draft specifically mentions Obergefell. So, it’s pretty obvious that he sure hasn’t moved on.

    The most concerted and coordinated legislative efforts ongoing at the state levels are full throated attacks on LGBT rights. You're a clown if you think gay marriage is safe

    Where is outlawing gay marriage seriously being discussed at a legal or legislative level?

    Outlaw or make it a states issue?

    I don't see any states outlawing gay marriage. This isn't as controversial as abortion.

    Hey I guess continuing to think the GOP and the partisan hacks in the Supreme Court won’t do terrible things, even though they’ve openly discussed it, is one way to approach this decision.

    The "defeat them with your vote" reaction is so tired.

    We've got the majority in the house and senate, and a D as president. I'd say we did our voting part, it's time for the politicians to do theirs! (lol, as if)

    I don't think the Supreme Court is making anything illegal. It just kicks it back to the states or puts pressure on Congress actually passing legislation.

    These people just tried to overturn a legitimate election. There are proposed laws that will give doctors life in prison for performing an abortion and they want to restrict a person's ability to travel to a place where it is legal.

    There is literally no culture war topic that's too extreme to be off limits.

    Yes. What states will vote to outlaw gay marriage. I've lived in some pretty progressive and conservative states. I don't see any real push anywhere on gay marriage.

    What they are doing is an extremely well coordinated assault on what was a once well established constitutional right. This is a clear part of a plan to make it illegal, and those in the majority know it. Use your fuckin brain.

    Given how coordinated the response is, seems pretty obvious the leak came from the right side of the court, to distract the focus of the debate.

    you know the supreme court, representing about 30 percent of the voting public, just eliminated a federal right to abortion supported by the vast majority of Americans?

    also, who cares about backfiring? Did it backfire on the GOP when they stole Garland's seat? What about when they rammed through unqualified judge after unqualified judge? or gave tax cuts to the wealthy? Or attempted a coup?

    "While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States."
