Is it alarming to anyone else that the conservative Supreme Court is drafting up a decision

[Baitball Blogger]

to overturn Roe v. Wade BEFORE a case comes up before them?

And, kudos to the clerk who leaked the opinion. You are a hero surrounded by robed scoundrels.

Correction: Just learned from Ocelot that this draft is being written in response to Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health. I'm still alarmed, and glad we can see how the sausage is being made because it sounds like Alito's reasoning is not all there.

1. Why they were so brutal to Judge Jackson?

This has been planned for quite some time

[Ocelot II]

4. Judge Jackson has nothing to do with this. The name of the case

is Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, no relation at all to Judge Jackson.

2. K&R, The alarming part of Alito's draft was the FU to the 14th amendment. He totally ignores it

12. If Alito and his ilk could get rid of the 14th amendment they would

Barret alluded to her belief that the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments weren't "valid" because they were passed when some of the states were missing. If the reactionaries on the court could trash them outright they would.

13. WHOA !! Didn't hear that part of her mostly obfuscation hearing. They **DO** want a whites ...

... only totalitarian like nation taking us back to the 1800s.

No wonder FAUX NewZ is freaking out about the leak vs the opinion cause the leak allows people to see inside the GZPs mindset and their views of the constitution

3. There is a case before them; the draft opinion is for Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health.

5. Thanks for that info.

So glad we got a sneak preview because it sounds like Alito's reasoning is wack.

6. The court doesn't draft opinions unless there's a case before them

to have an opinion about.

7. And, thus, the reason I was originally alarmed.

I made the correction in my original post. Again, thank you.

8. I think

The court just handed us a larger majority in both the House and Senate after November. Then abortion rights will be written into law.

9. Only true if it's all hands on deck.

The Democrats need to learn how to motivate people outside the party without following up with a donation request. It comes down to, DO something that would make me want to donate to you. If I feel like it's just a cash cow for Democratic campaigns, imagine how others will feel about it.

I just don't think Democrats are any good at reaching out to people. It's like, hey, be a loyal Democrat and shut up and send money.

10. Even to people in the party, stop with the constant donation requests.

I'm a committed Democrat, have been all my life. I vote in general elections, primaries, etc. But the emails get shared from lists, faster than I can unsubscribe, from candidates all over the country, people I never heard of - "look how bad the other side is, send me money. Are you going to let them do this to us? Send me money." I know they need money, so do I. I do send an occasional donation, but I hate it when the emails try to guilt me. I know it turns a lot of people off.

11. They need to start out with, "This is what we have accomplished."

And then make a list of their accomplishments. But, I never see that.
