Gov. Inslee: 'I hope the Supreme Court will get their fingers burned and back off' abortion - MSNBC

[TexasTowelie]

In an age where freedom is just another word for who is running your state, Democratic Governor Jay Inslee of Washington joins Ali Velshi to discuss the ways in which Americans’ rights are being infringed upon between reproductive care access to gun deaths in schools and how he’s handling it personally in Washington state. “There's something about freedom that you don't maybe associate with political activity. It is a freedom to be able to have your kid go to school and not worry about getting shot. That's a freedom issue. You got to be free to breathe.”

1. How in the world would the SC get its fingers burned?

They are still rolling in dark money, the bribes continue to come in, they go on million dollar vacations.
They don't worry about elections, no one will ever go after them for their crimes and they cannot
lose their jobs.

2. There is one check on the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court does not have any authority to enforce its decisions. People are already questioning the legitimacy of the court and if they make an adverse ruling on a case that 70% of the population supports it will cause social unrest that I believe the court would want to avoid.

3. But the GOP WANTS social unrest.

It is part of their strategy of dividing and conquering.
To install a minority fascist rule.

But the SC Dems would want to avoid that, but they have no power?

5. I cannot imagine what it's been like to be an Obama/Biden appointee on SCOTUS today

6. Imagine achieving the unbelievable highest honor and rarest career pinnacle in your chosen field.

The most important legal position in the free world.

And you watch all of it go down the drain as your new position is part of a
disgraceful corrupt three ring circus.

7. You articulated what I was thinking.

I still remember when Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in, her former classmates were so excited, her family was so proud and she was all smiles. I can't help wondering what it's like for her today, let alone Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. It's got to be frustrating as hell.

8. Yes I was seeing the same picture in my head.

The huge pride and shining excited face. Overwhelmed with the honor.

From the top of the mountain to the humiliation of colleagues who are sleazy, corrupt criminals.

4. That's the thing!

Two-thirds of the country supports abortion rights, not to mention the protests we have seen over recent mass shootings. This partisan court does not reflect the will of the American people and the accusations of more than one justice's ties to wealthy donors smacks of corruption and casts doubt on the integrity of America's top court.
