re: #175 Targetpractice

For 50+ years, we were told that Roe would never be overturned. That Repubs would be damned fools for doing it, that reaching down and grabbing the third rail would be political suicide, and the most they’d do would be to nibble at the edges.

Anybody who still thinks this Court gives a flying fuck about precedent or the ramifications is deluded or lying to your ass.

For 50+ years, right wingers have been insisting they’ll try and overturn Roe, but media outlets would parrot the line that it was settled law and would not be overturned.

The GOP doesn’t care what happens. They’re out to roll back all the substantive due process rights. Roe was just the start, because this decision lays out the pathway (as did the Alito draft) to end all substantive due process rights.
