thats literally it.
is obamacare that popular? like THAT popular?

because 77% think roe should be upheld.
67% believe in gay marraige.

obamacare favorability is like 49%

and lets be clear about what is ACTUALLY HAPPENING HERE:
In her opening statement, ACB said Scalia’s approach to law shaped her and that policy choices should be left to the American people's representatives in her view.

Jeffrey Toobin:

“Justice Scalia felt like if a state wants to ban marriage between two men or two women, that's a policy choice that a state should be allowed to make. Justice Scalia thought that if a state wants to ban abortion, that's a policy choice that a state should be allowed to make. What Justice Ginsburg thought was that the Constitution trumps those policy choices, that the Constitution forbids states from engaging in acts that are discriminatory, violating the 14th amendment or the first amendment. So the language of deferring to the policy choices of the states has real political content and it’s conservative political content, and it's what Justice Scalia believed.
But people should understand, that's what it means in the real world. It is not just boilerplate. It has real political content."


im infuriated at this "strategy". so i hope everyone is ready for states with legit, on-the-books, unchallengeable abortion bans. And states that refuse to recognize people's marriages. Because that's happening STAT.

the only real option to combat this is going to be passing federal laws, which we'll be able to do if we get joe and the senate and kill the filibuster - but even if they do all those things, they'll probly waste their time passing some other bullshit.

hope im wrong. about all of this.
