is promote hostilities and ignorance across the US. And promote a divided nation. I often have grave reservations the US will remain one country with crap like this going on from SCOTUS. They do little to promote togetherness, balance and fairness. The scales of justice are clearly broken.

Cannot repeal any part of the Constitution. I assume this was tongue in cheek?

In a way that isn’t consistent with the language? It says the “people” can own firearms.

It's like James Bond... Religion can be used for anything as a weapon. Just have a "sincerely held religious belief" and short of murder you're ready to go. Do whatever you want in the name of God ( as long as He's the "right God" ) and anything goes. You're in the clear with the SCOTUS.

stripping the rest of the rights of POC, women, and LGBTQ+ people next year, as well as those who don't worship the "right" god, or worship him (it's always a him!) in the "approved manner." Theocracy is next on the checklist, and between state govs and SCOTUS they're setting the trajectory.

since I went on a rant about it yesterday, matching my daughter's opinions one for one.

But look how far they've got with viagra. Despite it possibly being harmful to a man's health due to chance of stroke, heart attack, etc., they've got that drug down to what? 63 cents a pill? Disgusting. And I'm REALLY sick and tired of seeing all those commercials on TV.

And yet chronic illnesses like the various types autoimmune diseases are shuttled off to the background. I'm so tired of hearing, sorry... there's just nothing else out there right now for your fibromyalgia. But by god, we can get viagra down to 63 cents a pill. Cheap date, eh?

I do wish we could get all women to band together and say "no more sex until you get your priorities straight." Hail, Lysistrata!

I said that once, and women on the board rose up against the idea, presumably because they like sex, too, so the action wouldn't hold. But (excuse me, pussy power) is powerful and would work, if we stuck together. Ain't no hetero gonna give it up.

But, now we have the SC to contend with, so I dunno...

in the direction our laws and country allow us to go and they do it though one corrupt and completely clueless court that has the final say.

Not sure what specifically but the GOP's biggest fear is that Republicans are becoming more and more the minority so they have to stop Democrats from voting somehow. So expect cases being brought to SC that will restrict voting rights that affect minorities and liberals.

20. The Left needs to turn out & vote like it is their duty & to vote for the nominees
Fri Jun 30, 2023, 07:13 PM

of the Democratic Party because when you don't vote for the Democratic nominee you only help the Republican.
How many on the Left in battleground states who were just too noble and righteous to bring themselves to vote for the lesser of 2 perceived evils in 2016 because they didn't like Hillary although they liked Trump much less?
How many on the Left in those battleground states felt Hillary was a lock to win so that freed them from either not voting or voting for a 3rd party.
Here in Wisconsin in '16, Jill Stein of the Green Party received more votes than Trump's margin of victory and those were votes that overwhelmingly came from the Left.

So we have choices and consequences. Imagine the Supreme Court justices chosen by a President Hillary Clinton and how it would have impacted the history of America. Trump and today's American flirtation with fascism would just be part of an American alternate universe in a horrific novel.
