13. Good post but I don't think they are scared. I think they are emboldened.

We know there is no low too low for them. They feel emboldened because they now know with absolute certainty that this corrupt SCTOUS will back them no matter what rights they strip from people, especially women. You see it in governors of red states talking about banning contraceptives.

No, they're not scared. They are emboldened.

The question is: what does overstepping look like? We keep saying THIS TIME they overstepped, THIS TIME they overreached. Then they go even farther. When will it be enough for real change to happen? When will it be enough so that WE are emboldened?
