Of course.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

On the one hand, I've already become terribly disillusioned about this country and my fellow Americans.

OTOH, I also feel like this is undemocratic unpopular right-wing coup that doesn't represent the interests or will of the American people.

I would really like the Democratic party to go to war with the Republican party, and that doesn't mean socialism, Bernie Bros. Just defend the country itself from the Christian Nationalists who are not the majority but are eager to shape the country in their image.

The choice is not between Biden (wants to play nice with Republicans) or Bernie (socialism for white people without any sense of intersectionality). I would really like to see somebody like Klobuchar's centrist stance that will vigorously protect women, civil rights and voting rights.

Clarence Thomas has already declared in his opinion that the court should "revisit" (rescind) gay marriage. The right to privacy basis that at the core of Roe are also at the core of gay rights and interracial marriage and contraception.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Clarence Thomas has already declared in his opinion that the court should "revisit" (rescind) gay marriage. The right to privacy basis that at the core of Roe are also at the core of gay rights and interracial marriage and contraception.

He explicitly named the SCOTUS cases that decided the right to contraception, the right to same-sex marriage, and the right to same-sex activity/relationships -- but he neglected to name Loving v Virginia, which decided the right to interracial marriage. Convenient for his own interracial marriage, no? How can that motherfucker believe he's exempt? Does he not get that there is a substantial amount of people who are cheering Roe v Wade being overturned who *also* would be very happy to to back to when he was considered 3/5 of a person?

Our wings are not tired.

The only solution is expanding the court since the horrible justices are all too young and will never leave. This could be the kick that swings the pendulum in the other direction, but so many house and state level districts have been gerrymandered that they will be red forever.

My chest hurts from the tension. Between this and the hearings spelling out in detail the insane abuse of power from the former occupant of the White House. It is just so much.

I wouldn't mind impeaching Kavanaugh, just for variety.

I was so hopeful that a few of the court would be anti vaccine and would die of covid. Or at least have to retire due to its effects or something. Jesus.

I really don’t see how you can justify ending gay marriage though—once you’ve had it that gets so complex! That was part of the whole issue with Prop 8, no? And while different states can have different laws (ie some allow cousin marriage!) if you got married somewhere and then go to a state that doesn’t allow it, it’s too late, right? You’re already married. So it doesn’t even make sense? Like, even if Texas doesn’t allow gay marriage they’d have to recognize them? Or we’d end up with endless like “fine, I don’t recognize your Texas drivers license!”?

Sure, though I feel like Thomas should be first in line there. And his wife should be in jail.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Let's have just a little impeachment. As a treat.

I'm not sure what the grounds are for impeachment, but more than one of them (including Kavanaugh) lied during their confirmation hearings. Of course the current congress won't be doing that either.
