Gilead - Phase One Started

Phase 1 completed: overturn Roe v Wade
Phase 2 commenced: Justice Thomas suggests that contraception and same sex marriage are next

Welcome to Gilead

The only that matters at this point, is making sure the GOP does not gain control of either house. Then appoint 5 new Justices, otherwise nothing matters, as every single issue will be decided by a Supreme Court that does NOT represent the people.

Let's focus on the House first, please. That would be hard enough.

The rest of the Gilead stuff coming from SCOTUS is concerning, but Thomas will never be able to lead the other justices, and may well put an end to Originalism with opinions like Dobbs.

@MistyCee They already have voiced they want to get rid of rights for gays. Any minority that is not white or Christian will be affected. They will regret this.

@Spunkylama I think we may all regret Thomas' intent to attack all substantive due process decisions. This is one of those if you break it, you own it and need to fix it things, and Thomas is not up to the task, imo.

@MistyCee If we don't get our shit together in November, it's game over and we're looking at the 1930s.

@Northwest Or 1880s, before New Yorks gun law.

The problem is, I don't think "liberals"or Democrats can win on their own and we're not going to see much progress in terms of this regressive mess until there are enough cracks in the goose stepping on the other side.

It's starting to happen, but it's taking a lot of time. For example, I don't think either Kavanaugh or Barrett have much use for Thomas, and Trump's days of totally bullying other Republicans are numbered.

Even that silly Gun legislation is a good sign.

@MistyCee It's about every single American with a functioning brain, and not just about liberals or democrats.
