Akkula Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 32 minutes ago, mugtang said: What ACB should say to Booker about LGBTQ rights is that the House and the Senate needs to sexual orientation to Title 7. They need to do a lot of legislating including just putting abortion rights explicitly in statute, putting gay rights in there, decriminalizing and descheduling marijuana. The filibuster has to go away or "Jeff Sessions" Republicans will not allow these things through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but your confidence and the confidence of conservatives isn't reassuring. The most outspoken voices I've seen that agree with you also actively want abortions banned or heavily curtailed. One thing that isn't in question is that the court will get its chance. Get ready for another round of creative and not-so-creative attempts to undermine abortion rights in the next two years that will immediately work their way through the courts. Sure, but that is you taking a position court watchers do not agree with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just cuz of her, but because of the three justices picked under Trump (one of whom I like). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfmanhalfbronco Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 ACB just absolutely shit on the democrats in the committee. There was zero doubt today that her intellect towers over any democrat in politics in America (any Republican as well). America is hitting a home run, thanks Trump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think she’s going to vote to overturn Roe or tear down the entire ACA. I think the mandate will go but that’s it. All of this is theater that will turn out to be unfounded fear. And that is if it does not get tossed back to the lower court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have much preferred if ACB didn’t look like she was sitting through a double root canal during the entire proceedings. Like you said she was in control, relax a little.

Mainly only bigger social issues. The court will continue to rule fiscally conservative, but it's unlikely it will get the American Public to lose faith in the Supreme Court -- but an overturning of gay marriage and abortion rights will cause at least 51% of the public to want SC reform. That's all the Democrats need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactowndog Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Yeah she is impressive. We shall see if her legacy is ending rights for women and gays. Their is an old proverb “men marry women hoping they never change and they always do”. We shall see what happens with ACB. Her action with the pad today will be a meme for years to come.

We are going to be damn lucky to have a well qualified woman like ACB to be sitting on the bench upholding the constitution of the United States instead of some group’s personal biases and preferences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
