Poor people will be hosed. Abortion access will effectively end for people in multiple states, as he'll pick 1+ new Justice(s), as you said, and there's an important abortion case before them right now.

Obamacare will end, I don't see Trump vetoing any repeal Congress manages to get through.

And a bunch of other things I can't think of off the top of my head

It's actually very difficult for even an originalist to overturn Roe due to public policy considerations.

So this was just another Machiavellian move made by Trump and we all fell for it once again. The media narrative is all set -- protesters were out there 'to start trouble' and Trump had to make a tough split second decision to display his 'leadership capabilities.' 'He didn't want anyone to get hurt.'

Yeah, but the problem is another pro-life justice would probably make it impossible to challenge state-level republicans' attempts to limit abortion accessibility.

i think you're severely underestimating how extreme certain pro-life people are, i'm sure trump could find one or two that are qualified for the SC

I really doubt abortion will be his primary concern, he's likely to nominate justices that will be willing to expand executive powers if anything

"Nobody wants to hurt anybody anymore, and they're being politically correct ... Our country has to toughen up. These people are bringing us down." -Trump, re: protesters, before the Chicago fight broke out. He went on to boo-hoo-hoo about the black guy who flipped him off (the one who the redneck cold-cocked).

What a gross, disgusting thug. And everyone who supports him is an idiot.
