The right is having a surge, mostly due to backlash and nostalgia, in my opinion. How will it play out? Well, the trend in the U.S. for 250-odd years has been to the ascendency of "liberal" values. Maybe this is the turning point, maybe it's just a bump in the road, waiting for the old folk...

The cross of Christians symbolizes the imposition of theocracy wherever possible (hard experience).

The "short game" is "win at all costs." They deceive themselves that their "victory" will be permanent. Short term: more division, right-wing states going harsher and harsher in a spasm of performative righteousness, and leftish states going more and more permissive in a spasm of performative...

Am I out of date? I learned that the background temperature of the "universe" is about 3 degrees K. And let us not forget the luminous aether, without which electromagnetism would have no medium in which to travel!

You don't know what you're talking about. But your view is valid for your level of knowledge.

Good thing Baby has a staunch defender like you who couldn't give two shits if Baby starves to death after being born.

By the way. . . A good show-stopper for a rightard who bawls "There's no right to abortion in the Constitution!" is "There's no right to self-defense in the Constitution either."

Many people are confused and upset by their inability to understand art. Only a special few make a religion out of it.

Cute flag. A "republic" that still has the flag of England in chief. You people will never get over your well-earned sense of inferiority, will you?

Boy, good thing so many have refused having tracking chips falsely labelled Covid vaccines injected into them!

I know. It sucks that this couldn't be done while Roe was still in effect. But that's one of the consequences of the fact that the courts are, and should be, slow to act, and act as narrowly as possible to resolve the specific question before them. The Supreme Court's decisions are...

I freely admit I kinda got caught up in the furor on this one. I re-read Alito's opinion today. . . and he's right. He expresses what I've been saying for decades. Roe v Wade is probably the worst-reasoned case in Supreme Court history. The alleged logic is a mish-mash of half-baked...

You don't have the education to understand, and you will resist any attempt to wise you up.

At least. "The intelligence of a committee is the intelligence of the stupidest person on the committee divided by the number of people on the committee." --Robert A. Heinlein

Well put. Down hereabouts it's a fundamental issue of rights. Up there it's just politics.

Hmm. Interesting. Upon reflection and reconsideration, I agree with Alito and the presumptive majority.

No, dear. Roe v Wade was about abortion. Hope that helped.

Here's an idea. Why don't you shut your face until you find out how the Constitution is amended? You'll look slightly less stupid. HINT: The procedure is, oddly enough, in the Constitution. Article V. It's ONE PARAGRAPH, ferfuck'ssake.

Gotta call you on that one, Serryah. Women's right to vote is in the Nineteenth Amendment. It's part of the Constitution. As is voting for 18-20-year-olds and for all races (except Natives). So it's explicitly in the Constitution. Here are some rights and protections that aren't, but are...

Would you say the same thing about racial segregation? Racial integration of public schools also violated "states' rights."
