Does anyone think it odd that SCOTUS decide it’s up to the states regarding abortion,

But strikes down gun control legislation in individual states.

It appears to want to ensure there’s a good chance that children will continue to be massacred in schools.

Right?

Of course it’s beyond odd—it’s hypocrisy. They [b]don’t[/b] care anything about actual children, they want to control women’s bodies.

The timing is retaliation directly associated with the Jan 6 hearings.

@BackyardShaman it will backfire. Watch the dems win a thumping majority in both chambers November

I truly hope so!!@SW-User

@BackyardShaman it’s a dark day for women in your country. Dress it up as pro life all you want, this is about controlling women.

I think that these recent SCOTUS decisions are just another glaring example of very selective views on states rights.

Mak03 · F

the difference is the gun rights case is clearly stated in the constitution as federal law so that case was based on a written law, the abortion case was based on a court case/opinion. since the original passing of roe each court session has said that congress needs to pass a federal law and each congress has tried. now that the roe opinion has been struck down maybe congress will get serious about passing a federal law.

@LordShadowfire no i am saying a case was brought before them that they ruled on. they did not seek the case it was brought to them they heard the case and made a ruling on it which is word for word what each justice has said they would do

LordShadowfire · M

@Mak03 God damn, I wish I was as diabolical and deceptive as a judge.

Mak03 · F

@LordShadowfire even RBG said there were mistakes in the writing of roe and the point of my post is now maybe congress will get serious about making abortion a federal law which they have been weakly attempting since 1972 it was never serious for them because they could stand on roe without risking political clout by voting one way or the other now that roe is gone federally they will have to do something for real.

I'd say reprehensible, despicable, soul less and cruel before "odd"

At best they definitely have their priorities messed up

Women will still have babies.

In the free states, women will have the right to 'give birth.'

In the other states, women will be 'forced to carry.'

Some men may not notice the difference. Most women do. Birdie

No, they decide what is constitutional and what is not. In the NY case, they correctly interpreted the words "shall not be infringed" and struck down the law. On Roe, they correctly judged that abortion is not an enumerated power of the federal government and falls under the purview of the 10th Amendment. It would help if you had actually ever read the Constitution. Supreme Court/American people 2, leftists 0.

@DCarey I would interpret the score as SCOTUS/White men 2, Women/children 0

DCarey · 46-50, M

@SW-User You would be wrong, as usual. Aren't you supposed to be at a riot?

Ynotisay · M

Very similar to the 'freedom' chants some like to make. Yeah. They like freedom. But only the right kind of freedom.

MorbidCynic · F

Are we now just figuring out that the US government doesn’t care about its people?

LeopoldBloom · M

Nothing unusual about that. That was par for the course with the Lochner court. Worker's rights? No, only the federal government can do that. Restrictions on workers? Sure, states' rights prevail.

The Roberts court will be remembered the way the Lochner and Taney courts were. At least Roger Taney never pretended to be anything other than a racist POS.

The country is well designed to avoid democracy.

Dumbass post of the day.

SW-User

@SW-User And yet so many people agree. You realise this is going to backfire on the Republicans badly. I think this will guarantee Democrats expand their majorities in both chambers and will get the votes to expand the SCOTUS 😎

SW-User

@SW-User My reply to you has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans. It's just about you being an ignorant fuck.

They need child sacrifices for their blood God yahwack. I mean they are the ones after all that have been running a 2000 year pedophile child sacrifice ring. Over 200,000 child molestation cases since the 50s. And how many mass graves of native children so far?
This is the future scotus wants:

It’s contradictory on every level.

Because guns matter more than the children who are already born.

Human1000 · M

Amazing, isn't it. And since they think abortion is murder, why are they even leaving it to the states?

LordShadowfire · M

@Human1000 They're going to try to ban it federally. Just watch.

LeopoldBloom · M

@Human1000 To be fair, the Supreme Court doesn't have the authority to ban abortion nationwide. But you're right, if a national ban is imposed, suddenly "states' rights" won't apply.

I think it's odd that a group of nine unelected officials are lording over millions of citizens in what is supposed to be a democracy.

LeopoldBloom · M

@LordShadowfire Four of whom were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote, and confirmed by senators who represented a minority of Americans.
