I Had My Doubts, But Now I Think There's A Fair Chance We Get The Overturning Of Roe Tomorrow

If they do issue that ruling tomorrow, you can be 100% Certain that it was Intentional, and the reason they decided to suddenly add a 1 time special exception on this Friday as a day to announce rulings.

Sure, it will be big enough that it will still be noticed and protested, but the fact it's on Friday, will absolutely have an impact on it getting at least slightly less exposure.

It wouldn't distract from the results of the Jan 6 Committee hearing, if that's your assertion.

People are paying less attention on a Friday, and even fewer watching TV News on Friday night, so the coverage would be muted.

Friday July 1, right before the long holiday weekend. They'll try to bury it in a Friday news dump, regardless.

Not only is the whole world connected 24/7.... but most people won't be at work and will be able to take to the streets to show their disgust at this heinous Republican oppression.

and into the midterms and beyond whenever it is. You can’t take rights away from people and expect to hide it. Anyways print is dead and the Friday news dump is a vestige of that era.

town and avoid the mayhem the ruling is going to create. Of course, they have little to worry about with their taxpayer-funded security force keeping them safe in their bubbles.

They dropped the atom bomb today to get us ready for the hydrogen bomb tomorrow.

Friday or not, there’s no way you can bury this atrocity.
