With a 6-3 conservative court, and at least 3 or 4 justices who have all but promised to overturn Roe v Wade at some point, it seems like this is where we're headed.

And it's not like we can vote anybody out, and change the dynamic. These are lifetime appointments, and the Assholes Drumpf put on the court, could be there for 30-40 years.
