To see them fist-pumping and hollering in the House chamber celebrating the removal of rights

Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ
I was on House floor as decision striking Roe was announced. I realized it happened because I saw Marjorie Taylor Greene and others jump up and high five each other. I overheard what they said. One said he always dreamt of this day. Other said something that hit me hard…THREAD

One Republican congressperson said something like “let’s keep this going now.” The words reinforced that this has always been their plan. It’s only the beginning. Republican leadership is hell bent on transforming America by rolling back our rights. Rolling back out progress 2/11

Next up it’s marriage equality, birth control, gay rights. It’s not speculation as Clarence Thomas made that clear in his published opinion yesterday. Right out in the open for all to see. 3/11

It was disturbing to see lawmakers celebrating the removal of rights from Americans. To see them fist-pumping and hollering in the House chamber. This is a sacred space. The same room where the 19th Amendment passed giving rights to women to vote. 4/11

...other than their laundry list from the Federalist Society.

I wouldn't expect Thomas or the conservative majority court to rule against their own interests.
