They will use this as a rallying cry to get voters. It will be marginally successful and the party will not fundamentally change whatsoever from now until the heat death of the universe. Through the vacuum of campaign donations this is probably a goldmine for both parties.

Someone help me out with the latest SCOTUS draft decision. What case is this a decision for? I was under the impression that both of the latest crazy abortion laws were not being argued in SCOTUS. Am I wrong in that? If not, how can they just make a decision like that without a trial? I was under the impression that they can only rule on what is being debated, so crazy abortion law shouldn't be a question about Roe v Wade, but a question on the legality of that particular law. It seems like a big jump from "is deputising randos legal" to "remove Roe v Wade." How does that logic/timeline advance so far/quickly.

Plessy v Ferguson was a case about whether or not a slave became free when brought into a territory that outlawed slavery. The Supreme court took the opportunity to declare that black people weren't citizens, had no rights, and couldn't take a case to court. As an institution, the Supreme Court sucks.

I don't like it, but that was the decision for that case. That I understand. Right now, unless someone can point to the case this "decision" is for, it seems like there is no trial, just a decision from SCOTUS. They don't just randomly issue opinions with no trial, right? I was under the impression that there were two laws being challenged. Neither of those two laws are being heard by SCOTUS (that I know of), last I heard they were both kicked back down to the lower courts. So my question is: What trial is going on to allow for a decision?

What ended up being decided was that Black people, whether they were free or slaves had no citizenship, or recourse to the American legal system to seek redress. There is no formal law or constitutional document that limits what the Supreme Court can rule on, only tradition and decorum, both of which hold no value for modern conservatism.

I was concerned with the fact that (to me) there was a decision without a case. I can understand that a decision was issued, for a case, and not agree with it. I am not arguing if a decision is "correct" or not, I was asking if a decision was made without a trial. You are hung up on a unrelated detail to my question, I am aware that SCOTUS will place bizarre things in their decisions.

lol, before all of this dropped yesterday, had to deal with my incredibly smug conservative brother and sister in law questioning why my wife and I are planning on moving to Canada in the next few years. Don't we understand that taxes are higher there and that the healthcare isn't actually "free"?  "Yeah, I'm aware of how taxation works, and I'm a citizen with roughly 3/4 of my family living there so I know what to expect, but go off. Continue telling me how things work in Canada." This poo poo seals the deal. I'm so relieved my wife wants out of this stupid country even more than I do.

A.o.D. posted:Fascists have a habit of not staying inside their containment zone, FYI. Ceding the fight now helps guarantee a worse one later. IDK man, if I have to choose between staying here and watching this poo poo get increasingly worse for people around me no matter my efforts, or me taking my family back to Canada where we don't have to deal with this kind of poo poo (for now) nor have to worry about a medical bankruptcy to boot, I know what choice I'm going with. Do I think this stupidity isn't going to try expand beyond America and into Canada somehow (or that it hasn't already)? Of course not, but gently caress it, mine as well go where I feel more at home. We'd been planning on doing this move for awhile now, so it's not a "Oh Bush won again, guess I'm moving to Canada!" move. It basically boiled down to "Hey, remember when you said you really enjoyed the climate and scenery in BC and NS. Why not move there in a few years? I'm a citizen so immigrating won't be a massive hurdle for us." This latest poo poo is just further encouragement that we're making the right call for us.

lol god drat that was fast.quote:Every House Republican voted against protecting reproductive rights. Now a draft opinion shows SCOTUS will overturn Roe v. Wade. So we're calling for a historic surge to DEFEAT the anti-choice GOP. Can we count on your immediate $200 to elect pro-choice House Dems? Not even from a number I recognize.

This really is some next level poo poo, as far as insults go. Not only did they pull this off during a democratic administration, but with a lady vice president in office no less. Just loving lmao if you live in the United States and plan on starting a family right now. I sure hope that pregnancy goes off without a hitch because if something goes sideways you'll soon be irrecoverably turbo-hosed medically, legally, financially and in every other way that matters.

Between all the bullshit being passed by Florida (where I mostly grew up) and now this, I can't help but feel disgust and contempt for the bible thumping yokels that infest the rural areas of the country. It's depressing that this includes a lot of people I know from growing up in the South, including my own family members. I have more in common with city dwellers in other countries than I do with any American hick.

But I'm a stupid civvy who knows gently caress all about Navy beyond what I read from here. Could CNN be talking about those dorm-like barges?
