Wow! the SC realizes that standing is a thing! Whodathunk

Keep in mind this is the distraction to make the SC seem reasonable. Oh how the Overturn window has shifted

Does this mean states like Texas can't jail women for getting them by mail from another state?

#20 | POSTED BY AMERICANUNITY

well that depends on whether you think states will listen to a SC ruling they don't like

The past 40 years have seen significant erosion of who has standing to sue the Federal government.

MOHELA says what?

I've said this before, and I'll say it again:

I have a deeply held belief that women are entitled under any and all natural laws to govern what happens within, to and on their bodies, be it with sexual expression, sexual performance, reproduction and all other forms of bodily autonomy. This Supreme Court denies my right to these deeply held beliefs.

"A pregnant woman or child has no rights that the white man is bound to respect."

---Breed Stock Decision

I condemn any man who has a woman in their life, be it mother, spouse, child, aunt, niece, cousin or simply friend, who supports any infringement on that woman's inalienable right to full bodily autonomy. I cannot conceive of how a man justifies that to themselves. Me? Personally? I would do anything for my daughter.

You have a solemn duty to keep ------- out of office.

Full
Stop

Every other policy falls to the importance of protecting the simple fact of democracy.

Abortion
Gay rights
Taxation
Israel-Gaza
State's Rights

Anything you can think of is less important than preventing a fascist dictator from taking office and surrounding himself with lunatics.

There will little or no guard rails preventing him and those lunatics around him from implementing the most vile despicable policies and, oh yeah, deciding elections are antithetical to his concept of democracy.

Even the most rabid trolls on this site will be sadly disappointed with an America that he envisions. Cause you will be surprised at who he conceives as enemies and that includes you.

That's a lot of trolling points for one post.

I spend my time in the most profitable way possible, stamping on Jeffj (the lying PoS)'s troll lying posts. Kicking his ass is a singular good in politics.

I will NEVER advocate violence. I will observe that the world would be a different place had Georg Elser set his clock a 15 minutes earlier than he did.

and that's why I asked yesterday, what would be the issue that would spark civil disobedience?

Define civil disobedience.

I have no sympathy for the Palestinians

#36 | POSTED BY BRERRABBIT

And I have zero respect for people who have no sympathy for children being blown up and starved to death.

yeah it's easy to be sympathetic when it costs you nothing. and you feel so good about yourself. and the DR gadflys that reinforce your holier than thou positions.
do you feel sorrier for the Hamas babies or intercity american black kids?
let me guess...you love all god's chillun'.
you mentioned George Elser ....would he have been necessary if it hadn't been for weak ass Chamberlin
the jews have done everything they could...dead babies are a result of trying to deal with fools
I didn't realize that this was a popularity contest

Your perception of the world is both cynical and boring.

Your philosophy is devoid of empathy or humanity, it is nihilism, nothing more.

I have sympathy, because my parents raised me right. And that allows me to feel superior to people like you. And as a byproduct I have self-respect which leads to feeling good about myself. You should try it (after years of therapy)

You are lost and you don't even know it. It's sad really.

Are you a Chamberlain for -------? For Netanyahu? For Putin? Authoritarian -------- are a dime a dozen, often they are broken people lacking sympathy, sound familiar?

When you can't see the moral calculus of starving children to death, you are lost.

And you mix that with tedium.

I'm a blue eyed white boy and consider myself a proud American and am ashamed to see what it's becoming due largely to self serving idiots on both sides of the aisle

So, you're an iniquity signaling magat militiatant?

Now, now brerbabbitt, there is self-serving and then there is SELF-SERVING. I'd take messy democracy to malignant narcissistic fascistic authoritarianism every day of the week and thrice on Sunday

What is America becoming?

We are on the knife's edge of American fascism. Which side are you on?

In Germany circa 1943 you'd have been one of those watching through the gas chamber window as the Zyklon-b was dropped in. most certainly with a tiny chubby in your feldgrau breeches

yeah.. dead babies are a subject difficult to discuss dispassionately....but there's dead babies all over the world. how many are you willing to take in and care for? you know, before they're dead

Cross that bridge when we get to it, right now I'd like to stop providing bombs that are being dropped on the heads of toddlers, you may feel differently. I'm glad I am the way I am, you seem empty.

"...public school system today with say 1965"

The segregated one?

The one where priests were raping young boys?

The one where jews were not allowed?

The one where the working women teachers didn't have the right to hold a credit card or own land?

The one where the gay teachers were arrested for who they loved?

The underfunded schools that served black kids?

nah, I prefer the messy system we have today where we are striving for a just and equitable system (against regressives btw)

Then you'd be wrong. The biggest existential threat in the world is Climate Change, followed by wealth inequity.

In America the biggest existential threat is ------- and the Magat movement

As for killing children, there is something that can be done, the students at Columbia have the right idea. they are just up against powerful forces.

But "this is BS rhetoric...neither of us are in a position to do anything toward furthering that desire." is the nihilist.

Go touch grass, go talk to a therapist, find meaning in life.

You're a pitiable worm, really.

I would hate to live in a world where I couldn't dream of peace.

That would make me a cynical -------.

And god forbid I was...common... that would be boring.

Get out and get a beautiful woman to smile at you. It will do you good.

"And dream is what your kind always do. and that's pretty much all you do."

My "kind" has been the force behind EVERY improvement in the human condition.

My "kind" is behind education, democracy, freedom, liberty, equality, rationalism, realism, science, we defeated the monarchy, we defeated slavery, we defeated imperialism, we defeated fascism, we defeated communism we put people on the moon and cured polio, we set millions free from -------.

What have your "kind" achieved? Conservatives have fought tooth and nail against progress throughout history, that is their essence. They promote mythological belief systems, irrationality, bigotry, authoritarianism, they gave us monarchies, slave society, jim crow, the destruction of the middle class by reagan, war crimes by Dubya and the pinnacle of conservative beliefs, the cult of -------, you have denied climate change, you have denigrated immigrants, you have killed yourself instead of wearing a mask.

You have fought progress all the way, and like conservatives today who tout the development they voted against, you will take credit for the progress, but you are the force that resisted growth, like you wouldn't be holding a fire hose in Alabama in the 60's, goose stepping in the 40's, killing indigenous people in the 1890s, whipping slaves in the 1850s.

Face it conservatives suck

I'm saving your #74 post...it's a ------in' classic example. it belongs on the barn wall with the FarSide collection

Do you deny those were the truths of the 1965 education system? Odd, I didn't think the truth of those things was even the least bit controversial.

Truthhurts thinks his side' defeated Communism. Liberals and Democrats despised Reagan for his aggressive measures against Communism.

#91 | POSTED BY BELLRINGER

The vast majority of the modern-day problems can be traced directly to that turd's term in office, from the destruction of unions to the destruction of the middle class, from deregulating wall street to the advent of religion in politics. Screw him and his diseased corpse.

Reagan built of 40 years of liberal policies to bring down the Soviet Union. Rock and Roll and blue jeans (and Afghanistan) were as much to credit to bring down the SU as Star Wars and unlimited defense spending, which, oh yeah is another thing we have to thank him for.

Excellent decision - amazing how the left's love/hate for the SCOTUS fluctuates, depending on rulings. We are for abortion , with the exception fo the 'sick' practice of late term abortion.

#106 | POSTED BY MSGT

JFC what on earth are you talking about? You have no idea what is going on here.

1st less than 1% of abortions happen after the 21st week and those are due to SEVERE abnormalities with the fetus OR life threatening complications to the woman-so it is SICK NOT to permit abortions.

2nd. All this case was, was a test by the 5th district's resident whackadoo Judge Kazmaryk. He is single handedly pushing the Overton window radically to the right. A case like this lets the SC act like they are moderate when they are anything but. While the focus is on this the texas courts are doing abominable stuff and get no press. Meanwhile this case, OBVIOUSLY, should not have made it out of the district court there OBVIOUSLY was no standing. Yet the fringe judge gave it life, which tests the water for standing. It gave Thomas an opportunity to float his deranged take on standing. And the merits weren't even breached. So, to make republicans seem sane on the topic of reproductive freedom, this case was allowed to die. Its the same thing the anti-choice whackos have been doing for decades, stripping women's rights by fringe legal theories.

BTW, who is "We are for abortion"? You do realize that if ------- wins in November, a nationwide abortion ban is coming, you get that right? And not a 24 week or 20 week or 15 week, right? You understand he will implement a 6 week, no exceptions ban.

But you support abortion, except in cases that don't exist.

Christ republicans are morons.

Given the infinite variables in pregnancies putting any time limit or nebulous definition like "life or health of the mother " is irredeemably arbitrary and capricious

That is arguably the point of time limits
