Everyone posted:They want abortion to be legal and abstinence to be the only "contraception." As straight guys they very much do not want to lose access to vaginas. Some of them. Not all evangelicals or conservatives are hypocritical like that, and the ones that are are fine taking care of their mistakes. It’s not particularly hard if you’re wealthy and powerful. A few extra steps are worth it to enforce their morality on everyone

Basically every conservative advocacy group and multiple heads of state level government, in addition to sitting members of Congress, have all been pushing a unified narrative that everything LGBT+ is just a smokescreen for people to molest and brainwash children. Like the guy who successfully poisoned CRT as a talking point and used it to overrun schoolboards across the country has said as much straight up, just like he had before. To claim this is still debatable is to ignore stuff so obvious that even the politically disconnected are getting bombarded with it.

As much as the GOP has become adept at making sure the government can't do anything, it's through the judiciary that they enforce their social policy goals, and Trump has made that possible.

McConnell's (flimsy/bullshit) justification for delaying was the election. With the election over, he'd have been forced to consider and confirm Garland. Ditto Kennedy and RBG might have retired right after Clinton's election so that's three safe seats. Possibly four if Breyer had moved up his own retirement to take advantage of Clinton being in office.

ilkhan posted:Just out of curiosity, are you suggesting that Thomas, for example, would vote against interracial marriage protections? Thomas favorably cited the Dred Scott decision yesterday, which determined that neither Scott nor any other person of African ancestry could claim citizenship in the United States. He absolutely would vote like so to strike down Loving's victory against the state of Virginia, he has been publicizing his stance on such cases over and over and he has been following through on such horrendous actions whenever he has gotten the chance. Such changes are what every single American 'conservative' knowingly and openly supports and works towards. For our entire lives the 'conservative' stance has been one in support of a fascist neoconfederacy, absolutely nothing more.

In the immediate future this is a huge setback for women's rights, but in a way, we now know where the real fight has to be. In the state legislatures and governorship. Oh and state legislatures are generally where your future House Reps and Senators come from. Governors are generally where your Presidents come from.

As such, he can only hold a seat open while he's Majority Leader. If Hillary wins, then in order to steal the seat, the GOP has to hold control of the Senate in not only 2016 but also 2018, and then defeat Hillary in 2020. If Hillary wins again in 2020, then they have to hold onto the Senate in both 2020 and 2022 as well. And so on. Even if you assume that holding the seats open indefinitely doesn't provoke a political backlash against the GOP, they're still gonna lose eventually. Refusing to allow Supreme Court appointments for several years straight would presumably damage the legitimacy of the Supreme Court atriptothebeach posted:Thomas favorably cited the Dred Scott decision yesterday, which determined that neither Scott nor any other person of African ancestry could claim citizenship in the United States. Wasn't it an unfavorable cite? He compared Roe to Dred Scott, describing them both as "constitutionally unmoored" decisions which caused "immeasurable human suffering", citing from Roberts' dissent in Obergefell, which made a similar argument. There's never been any indication that Thomas wants to overrule Loving. He generally finds excuses to differentiate it from other civil rights cases.

It definitely was unfavorable, he cited the Chief Justice in Dred freaking the gently caress out about how black people being citizens would mean they could bear arms, which would of course be terrible, to support his claims about what the Second Amendment has always meant. It's not a great look for a lot of reasons, but it's a cite of "look, even this terrible rear end in a top hat agrees with me."
