Is they kick this back to the states, does that mean there’ll be no federal protection from any gender discrimination? So a state could take a way a woman’s right to vote, for example? Or divorce?
We have to be . That’s what I said earlier. They divided us so when truths come out, they think we will rip each other apart. Instead we should really ban together to get this shit back on track this country needs to be what it could be. It’s up us. I know. But if I think otherwise I’m done.
This is my problem with leaving it to the states. When it comes to human rights / civil rights, those shouldn’t be determined by your zip code. All Americans should have the same human / civil rights.
That’s why it was taken from the states, especially after the federal highway system was developed. Basically Alito’s arguments were used to justify slavery.
Last time I checked even the most radical states rights advocates have a difficult time getting something to supercede plain language in the constitution, so probably not the right to vote...
That pandora's box also contains the second amendment. Not that I expect they'd allow the second amendment to be overridden by the states. Lots of cherry-picking from the far-right SCOTUS.
If elections are arranged on a state level, then by logical reasoning it would mean a state could decide to exclude women's votes if they had the right to do so?

indeed. and it's not just him -- all the right wing does is interrupt because the left is so polite we allow them to speak -- and then to dominate the discourse. why can't these people simply say (as the right wing has constantly said) -- let me finish.
Suddenly, these countries with universal health care clearly have superior medical wisdom and experience! Putting to shame the American Medical Association and all the other American orgs that filed Amici. 🙄
Truth. With a pretty committed 6-3 majority, there's no reason to put in the extra effort to appear consistent or base their decisions on the law. They are just recreating the world they think should exist.
I'm guessing they think the "founders" would have agreed with them, so they are comfortable doing whatever they want and still can claim some kind of constitutional mandate.
I honestly don't think they have even a patina of ideology to justify themselves anymore. Their power is just axiomatic; they have it, therefore they are entitled to use it however they want.
The Cass Report isn’t w/o controversy. Citing it w/o acknowledging that like a rock solid source is questionable. Also, didn’t we take our independence from the crown nearly 250 yrs. ago?
Starmer is also in a Biden position w/ the British press & likely didn’t want to die on that hill.
GOPers loved Scalia because he was smart enough to always try to find some random, obscure precedent or case law to make his rulings sound legalish & legit so he could pretend his repulsive decisions were justified.
The rest of them try to do it but are too smug & disdainful of the law to succeed.
He would also say that what others do is no reason for us to do that.
He has no values except exercise of power beyond restraint, reason, and Law as it actually has existed. Fairy tales about history & reality preferred. He only has weapons made of words to use against those who have those values.
Alito wishes he were born a Catholic king in days of yore, but he wasn't, so he just does whatever Opus Dei wants him to do because they gave him an award and the highest rank to a non-noble. 🤮
