There is only one way to fight back against what The Supreme Whores, lickspittles of the Federalist Society and the Religious Right, just did to this country. With few exceptions, every single Republican MUST be defeated at the ballot box. The 65% of decent Americans in this country who still believe in the basic rights of people, must, must, no matter the difficulty, turn out to vote.
Right now, this corrupt, ugly bunch of liars has decided to punish women. Understand, striking down Roe v. Wade is merely the beginning of a straight road to authoritarianism. Unless we get rid of all the Republican garbage polluting whatever Democracy we still have, we will soon be controlled by “the state.”
Gay people might have their right to marry taken away. “In other cases, Americans will likely see significant retrenchments of their rights, including those to clean air, religious freedom, effective governance, and to live safe from the scourge of gun violence.” (See the Supreme Whores decision to allow New Yorkers to carry a gun!)
The willing vehicles for this damage to Democracy are Republicans. Mostly white, mostly well-off. All paid by the consortium of Corporations and the Religious Right, all taking their marching orders from The Federalist Society.
IF WE WANT TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY, THE ONLY THING THAT WILL WORK IS VOTING EVERY REPUBLICAN OUT OF OFFICE!

Yes, Peggy…we knew. Just as we know that our environment will soon be unliveable. And yet, we still do not act. Democrats must now play constitutional hardball. They must draft credible plans to expand the size of the Supreme Court, abolish the filibuster, and grant statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington, DC. Let the right-wing scream. Fuck them! Thanks, continue…

Sadly, even voting straight Dem won’t get rid of this Supreme Court.

Susan, i beg to differ, not “sadly” at all – doing so will replace all the criminals in the state houses who will otherwise rig every future election, and it will obliterate the impasse in the Senate which has blocked every positive proposal to help the working class of this country. thanks, and continue…

I am just sick about the latest Supreme Court travesty. Aside from that, I am experiencing cognitive dissonance. How can the GOP be all about limiting “big government” and legislating how people conduct their private lives at the same time?

Because they are scummy hypocrites interested only in power by any means. Democrats must now play constitutional hardball. We must draft credible plans to expand the size of the Supreme Court while we can, abolish the filibuster, and grant statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington, DC. Let the right-wing criminals howl…excuse my French, but Fuck ’em. Thanks, Liz, continue…
