Here’s the deal. The ideal democracy holds that all people should be treated equally. Fascists see themselves as superior to the non dominants in the society and have begun to sour on our form of government since it advances notions of equality fascists find increasingly unacceptable. It’s why they talk more about freedom than democracy, because freedom has come to represent a rejection of anything that compels them to acknowledge the humanity of those they judge to be inferior to them. 
This is Trucker Carlson’s shtick and he employs it brilliantly.

This is not the first SCOTUS opinion to leak. Hell, it's not even the first opinion concerning Roe v. Wade to leak. Because Roe v. Wade also leaked, and it was a case few people even gave a shit about at the time.

I’m not trying to throw gas on the fire, but honestly what the fuck is anyone supposed to do about it? Vote in November and hope the chucklefucks elected actually grow a spine? Write strongly worded letters to your friendly representatives trash can? 
this happened after decades of inaction and a comedy of errors induced by arrogance, ego and hubris. 
I get that you are pissed, I’m pissed, we are all pissed, but this isn’t the first time in 2022 that we’ve been turbofucked by a woefully inept government that isn’t even close to being a representative democracy. 
the only real thing to talk about is speculating what the fallout is and what’s next from the leak and or the ruling actually coming out. 

[RabidM 2,664]

It's going to be overturned.  It looks like SCOTUS is going to allow each state to decide, instead of banning it nationwide.  When the GOP is back in power, likely in 2024 unless this ignites some kind of voter uprising, they'll ban it nationwide.  In the meantime, is SCOTUS going to allow states to regulate medical procedures performed in other states becomes the immediate question. 

Will they allow the jailing of a woman who has an abortion after the time limit in her own state, even if she is within the legal time limit in the state where the abortion is performed?  Will they allow family members of the father to sue the woman who has an abortion? Will they allow the lawsuits against anyone who helps the woman?  It seems like 5 of them are open to these ideas.  So while abortion may be technically legal for a couple of years, SCOTUS will likely allow these types of counter measures to stay in place, effectively banning the practice in any red state.

Yes, yes… the judges were going to backpedal on their secret ruling before the leak. Galaxy brain stuff, here.

Even more brilliant insight from the poster who thinks Texas will still allow first trimester abortions after Roe is overturned. Solid work last night, Tucker.

I’ve always thought overturning Roe would be a killer for the GOP on a national scale.  Some on the pro choice side have not pushed back on the slow erosion of pro choice options, and they’ve voted based on other issues. Now they’re having Roe overturned and other non-abortion rights in the crosshairs. A certain # will cross over to vote Dem or at least not vote GOP.

That's cute.  They've convinced their base that the dems are pedophile lovers who kill babies and want to teach kindergartners about sex in school.  Their cult isn't switching over.  And I'm not sure when we last had a free and fair election, but the next one won't be.

Strikes me as a pyrrhic W for the Rs.  Say goodbye to all those swing district suburban moms you think you are going to take in the midterms because of CRT and elementary school teachers spouting gender theory instead of multiplication tables.  The original culture war issue is now front and center and mommy isn't going to give up McKenzie's abortions without a fight.  The irony, of course, is that most of the would-be abortions will be supporting a permanent D majority in 20 years and reveling in an environment where you can get an abortion at CVS.

Roberts' proposed approach was the best long-term solution for the pro-lifers but they couldn't resist getting greedy when the opportunity presented itself.

So basically all the red states (aka the former Confederate states + some Midwest fat ones) will ban abortion and all the blue states will pass laws granting abortion. We’ve come a long way.

Good*.  Now we can legislate it in states that value liberty.  Maybe it will get more voters who care about liberty to vote. 

We're like an alcoholic country.  We still have further to go before we get on the mend@.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13,414]

I don't fully agree with the legal types up in arms about drafts being leaked. I get that someone doesn't want a leak in their group but the Supreme Court isn't some sacred, non-partisan institution. That ship sailed a long time ago, and honesty, it probably was rarely in that category. Perhaps never.

I don't think the Supreme Court should be required to release drafts but I don't have a problem if the public gets their hands on the initial thoughts of the justices. It shows them for who they are. There actual motivations, etc.  

I can understand that there's turmoil in the court today with this leak. I imagine that fingers are being pointed at the liberal justices' clerks.

I'm not so sure it would get vetoed.  Definitely wouldn't get vetoed in Wisconsin.  Evers won by a tiny margin and there are plenty of people who generally align with Democrats in the Upper Midwest that don't like abortion and are quietly happy about this.

Minnesota might seem a little safer, but I'll show two maps.  The first is Tim Walz's (Governor) 2018 gubernatorial election.  The second is the 2020 presidential election.  Quite a few counties that voted for Walz and then went right in the wake of George Floyd and Covid.  Walz won't win those southern counties (outside of Olmsted) this fall.

This will absolutely be a wedge midterm issue.

Trigger law states

In the United States, thirteen states — Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma,[1] South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,[2] Utah, and Wyoming[3] have trigger laws that would automatically ban abortion in the first and second trimesters if the landmark case Roe v. Wade were overturned.[4][5][6] Illinois formerly had a trigger law (enacted in 1975), but repealed it in 2017.[7][8][9] Also, nine states — Alabama, Arizona, Michigan, West Virginia, and Wisconsin as well as the already mentioned Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas, still have their unenforced pre-Roe v. Wade abortion bans on the law books. Those laws are not currently enforceable due to Roe v. Wade, but could be enforced if Roe v. Wade was overturned.[5]

No need to speculate about what will happen in Texas.  Here's the text of the Texas trigger law, which will go into effect 30 days after this decision is handed down:
https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/pdf/HB01280F.pdf

Abortion in Texas will be prohibited, unless a physician judges that the health of the mother is at stake.

Lol, wut? Suburban moms are the aggy of voters. They go to their mega church who tells them to be subservient to they're husbands, close their legs, and pray for abbott and friends. This does zero to them, nothing whatsoever. If their little snowflake gets knocked up at 14 they'll find the funds to make it to the nearest blue state and continue judging all those pregnant teenage sluts as though it never happened to them. That's how the right works these days. It's about judging others in the name of your church and feeling superior while being a massive hypocrit. These are the people going to school boards to cry about crt and how the teachers had gay sex in front of the kindergarten class in the name of diversity. Absolute worse case scenario they'll see this and forget about it when an ad on tv for the local theocrat puts a photo of AOC and Nancy Pelosi on the screen. No context, no words, just their pictures, and the Karen in them will get all pissy and vote for the fuckstain candidate who says jesus a lot. We are a failed country, this is just the latest major shift towards complete theocracy. As soon as they get another majority in both houses and the white house, even blue states won't be safe, because they are all about state's rights, until they control the federal government.

Suburban housemoms in red states are all the fucking same, including Texas. It's going to be illegal in half the states now and these right wing bitches aren't going to change their vote at all. If anything they'll continue supporting voter suppression to get their way. Seriously, who are these pro-choice republican moms who are going to change their votes because of this? They don't exist. If anything more will start voting because they are finally getting their way.

On the topic of untended consequences re R v. W., I was watching Freakonomics on Netflix the other night and caught the segment on the hypothesis that increase in abortions beginning right after R. v. W. amd onward was, in part, responsible for the decrease in crime in the late 80's through mid 90's (end of data in 1997).  The work and its findings are more nuanced than I am presenting here, but are thorough and have stood up well under reanalysis, new data, and the passage of time.

Over the years, the controversial hypothesis, has had its detractors who cited other factors such as the removal of lead from gasoline, the crack epidemic, defense spending, and the end of the cold war, none of which had any legitimate or significant published findings, but nonetheless may have played a lesser role in the crime reduction seen.
