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.

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.

fine, I don’t recognize your Texas drivers license!

We kind of already have that, though. But it could certainly get worse.

Matilda called a little while ago, sobbing so hard that I genuinely thought one of the campers had died, but, no, it was just the fucking SCOTUS. I feel like a failure; I wasn't very comforting, because I wasn't very surprised. I'm already thinking about what to do next and how, but I know it's all fresh and sickening and unimaginable for her and there's no room for anything but despair.

Fuck everything.

And Nathan pissed me off with that.

Seriously fuck everything.

My house is open to anyone needing an abortion. MD has protections in the state constitution and I have two spare bedrooms.

State houses are where everyone needs to work. The worst of the worst are running for state offices. Sister District is the best org to follow on this. My brother is also doing a run down of orgs to help on his IG Gary_knits_gary_rides. I guess I start phone banking every night next month. Text banking is pretty much dead for the immediate future.

I'm so glad I signed up to volunteer at Baltimore Abortion Fund weeks ago. Their vetting process is involved but I'm through it and have my training this week. Voting and donating money just isn't enough for me right now.
