https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/09/conservative-justices-abortion-legal-mansplaining.htmlThe inevitable answer is chilling: This isnt about guns or speech or money or war. Its about women, their lives and their bodies and their autonomy. Thats what allows you to do shoddy work, with careless disregard, because whos going to stop you? You only do the thing in the dead of night, without care or effort, because you believe women are so used to being gaslit that you expect them to just tolerate it. You only do the thing in the dead of night without care or effort because you genuinely believe that theyre only women, and they deserve what they get.

Shouting in general to the universe, not at you, evolves.
If Slate reads SCOTUS right, FUCK "ONLY WOMEN" JUSTICE.
EXPAND SCOTUS TO 13 JUSTICES, ONE FOR EACH FEDERAL DISTRICT IN THE COUNTRY.

(10,059 posts)That majority might not be there after 2022, at which point absolutely nothing gets done for two years in Congress. And while theyre at it, the federal district courts have needed an overhaul for at least a couple of decades. With population increases and shifts from on area to another, some courts are overloaded and need to be rebalanced so their case loads are not so onerous that it takes five years to get decisions. That is not justice for anyone, regardless of politics.
The 5th circuit especially needs to be restructured since it now handles cases from the states with much of the population growth. Additional justices are needed, and they should be as young and progressive as possible to balance the horrible Trump appointees, who are concerned only with what protects white privilege and Republican power.
Democrats have the power now. They need to use it. Republicans always use their power and never worry about the voters because they simply lie about it and the media concedes to their lies as fact.
