IMO SCOTUS is on a mission, the conservative ones. This is not stopping, even if fabricated cases

are somehow brought before them. If they rule on something like this with that much precedent and millions and millions of people affected, other areas well might be trivial. I really think their agenda is to turn the US into a Taliban Christian Nation. IMO there is a lot of shadow backing for their actions. Anyone not paying attention at this time best had, as they will be knocking at your door next. We've seen what happens when shit like this starts. Throughout history many nations have gone down. Plus, they are liars!!!

them have never even had a history class seeing what happens in nations when crap like this begins. Eventually, it will hit them in the nose, and they will say, WTF, how did this happen. And then it's far too late.

It doesn't matter what we want. Fox News and megachurch pastors are the ones in control of our country. We have to fight them at all costs!

Dominion theology (also known as dominionism) is a group of Christian political ideologies that seek to institute a nation which is governed by Christians and based on their understandings of biblical law. Extents of rule and ways of acquiring governing authority are varied.

How many times did we hear "Roe v. Wade is safe" - "They wouldn't dare!" - "No need to cry wolf" - "Settled law" - "Stare decisis" - blah blah

I won't even be shocked if they find some way to bring back full-on segregation/apartheid, or otherwise try to cement eternal Christian-fundamentalist white supremacy as the law of the land
