Yes, indeed we've seen black and Hispanic voter participation rates positively cratering over the past two decades. And that cratering is definitely because of a patchwork of state level legislation in Georgia and Texas, where a legal apartheid reigns to make it easier to vote in NY and Delaware.Quote:

Right, voter suppression isn't a problem if it fails. Just like a coup isn't a problem if it fails. :rolleyes:Quote:

So you're saying attempting to stop people from voting isn't a problem as long as the attempt fails at that goal (while still making it harder for certain groups to vote)?
Voter fraud is a big problem Loki, it must be prevented at all costs :oQuote:

But I'm sure the other justices who said during their confirmation hearings that they wouldn't overturn this, won't, right? :confused:
The wording...dear god, the wording in that opinion is such trash. Guaranteed if this opinion makes it to decision that its going to be used to attack the LGBTQ community. The US is being driven to the brink by the craziest 30% of its citizens. Are we ready to pack the court yet?
I'm sure the language will be cleaned up in the final draft, but this just shows that a majority of Supreme Court justices are basically Lewk.
What a shithole country :heart:
I am having fun calling out liberals on socials who are once again using the term "women's right to choose" as being transphobic bigots. ;)
why would you brag on this forum about being a halfwit elsewhereQuote:

Almost everyone (ie, lay people) knows the US Supreme Court is ultimately a *political* body, regardless of how hard the legal community pushes against that, and wants to be perceived as apolitical, above the fray. But now it's out there in the open. They lie during their confirmation process and we're stuck with them for LIFE. :(
Why would you, upon being mocked for bragging about being a halfwit elsewhere, go on to talk like a halfwit here as well? Isn't there any part of your hairy ass you'd like to keep to yourself?Quote:

Why? Because Lewk gets his marching orders from his church, or Fox & Friends, or Tucker Carlson. He's all in on the Culture Wars, "white replacement theory", and men as victims of feminism. He's a troll that's been given permission to be bigoted in the name of Freee Speech, with plenty of big donors and Think Tanks like the Federalist Society, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, and cable news outlets like Fox.
Yee Haw for USA exceptionalism! :(
This "states rights" approach to legislation is toxic to a Constitutional Republic that wants to form a "more perfect Union".Quote:

Material largely relying on jurisprudence written by Kennedy. Although, oddly enough, abortion itself is probably where he waffled the most himselfQuote:

This shit just keeps getting funnier, 10/10 entertainment value.
Reading sources like that is why you are what you are, Lewk. The attempt to rationalize the use of ivermectin shouts stupidity or gullibility.
It's almost like he is showing why legal access to abortions is so important. He is soooo close to self awareness.
Then you realize that his entire political stance is based on whatever makes women and minorities suffer the most.
You go go listen to the Joe Rogan / Sanjay Gupta interview. Joe was prescribed it by his doctor, a human medication for a human. Regardless of the efficacy of ivermectin, the fact that CNN continued in their attempts to smear him shows just how untrustworthy the media is.Quote:

Do you think Lewk honestly believes that Rogan is an average joe? Or do you think he purposely ignores that he is one of the media elite that he rails against and can buy pretty much any prescription that he wishes? Assuming of course its all legit, seeing how this is based off of an instagram short where he peddled half a dozen debunked kitchen sink "treatments". Those self made controversies seem to be his only content, being the dollar store version of Stern that he is.Quote:

It's genuinely remarkable how fucking grotesque these halfwits are. It takes a lot of sustained, coordinated community effort to create people who are this grotesquely stupid.
That has to do with illegal immigration. Which is really funny because the whole case and ruling would be utterly unimportant if we just deported anyone here illegally.Quote:

But they have little reason to use substantive due process here in the first place, it's not necessary to overturn Roe. It or something similar might be required if they want to clear the road for using judicial authority to ban all abortions throughout US jurisdiction via declaring laws permitting abortion to be a violation of the protection against deprivation of life without process of law. All kinds of a stretch and itself bad law but. . . there's really no discernible reason for Alito to be endorsing substantive due process.
