People still believe in and fondly think of the confederacy so it's no surprise that people will continue to support and believe in Trump long after he is a disgraced (and hopefully impeached) ex president. Hopefully whatever reconstruction happens after his presidency is over is far more thorough and effectively executed than what we did in the south after the war.

The end point of "what if the US Marshals really do collectively decide to tell federal judges to gently caress off" when pressed by the legislative branch would be the Sergeant at Arms of the legislative body going around to arrest people, probably including a few US Marshals, and federal judges agreeing that it's cool and good when someone tries to seek a legal remedy for their imprisonment. Alternatively, I guess the comedy option is domesticating and moving to enforce a federal judgment that the federal judge will be happy to grant against someone in state court.

SCOTUS is an extension of a Republican White House. It is not apolitical or objective. Roberts is a liar when he says SCOTUS is not partisan. The only solution is packing the courts.

Shifty Pony posted:I also "love" how trans men either aren't a concern or simply don't exist in the regressive's world. That's actually a little complicated. From the radical feminist side of TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminism), a woman invading a man's space by being a trans-man would be seen as a transgression in the proper direction. From the academic perspective that basically no real TERF has any more, expanding women's territory by passing as a man in a man's space could be seen as a liberating and positive thing. But... you know, it's mostly because of the modern concept that a woman pretending to be a man is still a woman and having a woman look at your dick is a good thing. Because conservatives are gross perverts and everything about this is projection and always has been. Yay! Ershalim fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Oct 8, 2019 |

I don't think it's explicit but there's a subconscious bathroom warrior "logic" where women "becoming" men isn't so bad because men are the superior gender, while being male to female transgender is deeply transgressive. It's the same thinking that makes Christian fundamentalists get a lot madder about gay men having sex than gay women. This isn't entirely a recent thing, in Early Modern Europe the general thinking was there was only one gender and that was male. Women were just imperfect, not fully formed men.

Bubbacub posted:Is the lack of societal upheaval in states that do have LGBTQ protections valid evidence? And also the lack of societal upheaval after Obergefell v. Hodges? There are a number of "studies" that have come out since Obergefell that have cited some deleterious effects to the national fabric. They're written by who you'd expect them to be, but fabricating evidence whole cloth to discredit something you personally don't like is how we do, now. A lot of it is cherry-picked, like, "women in homosexual marriages suffer even more income disparity than straight women because their combined income is less than it is in traditional marriage" points out a flaw in society and assigns the blame to gay marriage when it's a result of gender-based income inequality, but there's a lot of poo poo like that out there. If someone wanted to, and I assume you know many someones do, making a case to repeal Obergefell wouldn't be all that difficult. And even if it were, the judges don't really decide things on the merits anyway. Celexi posted:I do wonder if the court ruling against lgbt protections will invalidate the ones states have They probably wouldn't, but if the courts were feeling extra persnickety they could throw in some nasty legalese that makes it harder to write laws that offer that protections / easier to take it away in future.

It's the same thinking that makes Christian fundamentalists get a lot madder about gay men having sex than gay women. That and for the most part they don’t think trans men and lesbians even exist. The idea of men having desires out of the norm is disturbing, but a woman having agency is literally unthinkable.

On the SCOTUS: trying to figure out decisions based on arguments is worse than reading tea leaves. One of the 9 votes doesn't believe oral arguments should happen and barely pays attention. Gorsuch's bitching could be just him worried about making a ruling too expansive, making a decision against, or idle musing. On Graham: it's loving Lindsey Graham. He's been doing this for like two weeks now and all it got him is the other senators dodging questions about Trump AND him.

That reminds me, one of the "funny" things that is happening in the case is a bunch of big businesses asked the court to find that the CRA does include LGBTQ protections because it was hard for them to recruit in states where discrimination is allowed. They really want to pay people less by moving operations to cheap states but their software engineers won't move
