- unpopular opinion? This sounds like two frat guys who think pretending to be gay is hilarious. - Max May 2, 19:41 1
  - That's just the thing. It's always a big huge joke... until it isn't. -- nm - Qale May 2, 19:42

Alito's draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage) -- (link) - ty97 May 2, 19:11 12
- And the saddest part is, RvW is wanted by 2/3's of Americans. Those Founders really created a great system there. (NM) - Marlowe May 2, 19:27
- I expect both to be overturned before the end of the decade. And Griswold v. Connecticut -- nm - Tim May 2, 19:27
- Because gay people are the ones getting all the abortions? -- nm - zork May 2, 19:25
- I mean, if we're taking it back that far it's rights only for white, straight men, who are landowners. -- nm - Qale May 2, 19:17 6
  - Yeah, "straight" -- nm - zork May 2, 19:26 1
    - I thought I'd lost my gag reflex but then I remember the Log Cabin Republicans endorsed Trump so... -- nm - Qale May 2, 19:31
  - How does this impact the midterms, I wonder? -- nm - Beryllium May 2, 19:22 3
    - With gerrymandering, inflation, gutted voting rights, etc, not sure it does -- nm - ty97 May 2, 19:27
    - I am trying not to hot take this thing and let others do the talking overall. -- nm - Qale May 2, 19:24 1
      - I should be trying to stay out of it altogether. - Beryllium May 2, 19:27
- Alito = Taliban thinking - Bacon May 2, 19:13 1
  - They are actually a bit softer. (NM) - Marlowe May 2, 19:29
What if one of the conservative judges leaked this hardline decision so they could release a slightly less hardline decision then say - ty97 May 2, 19:11 5
- Roberts to me seems like he would vote against. But I think they still have the votes right? -- nm - Bacon May 2, 19:11 4
  - They don't need Roberts. There are 5 other conservatives besides Roberts on the court. -- nm - ty97 May 2, 19:12 3
    - Yeah, stacked. RBG really screwed the people that looked up to her. It literally will unravel everything she believed in. -- nm* - Bacon May 2, 19:14 1

This is very old man yells at cloud of me but man I hate the names of stadiums/arenas now. I hate that I don’t know any of them nor should I. -- (edited) - Volnelk May 2, 19:07 4
- I still call where the Trailblazers play the Rose Garden and not the corporate bought name. When someone corrects me I say, I call it the Rose Garden - Bacon May 2, 19:08 3
  - I think the fact that I didn’t know it WASNT Rose Garden any more makes my point. I don’t know if businesses get much by sponsoring these buildings. - Volnelk May 2, 19:16
  - It's the Skydome, not whatever they're calling it lately. -- nm - Reagen May 2, 19:15 1
    - You don't like saying the Jenny Craig Weight Loss Systems Arena? -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 19:53

Dr Strange Red Carpet livestream -- (link) - budice May 2, 18:07 [youtube]
Politico has received a leaked draft of the Mississippi abortion case. Alito has the opinion, full overturn of Roe v Wade. -- nm - MDH May 2, 18:01 43
- Someone's legal career is over... -- nm - Ender May 2, 19:23
- Maybe this spurs further research in medicinal abortion solutions like Plan B. - Mop May 2, 19:16 6
  - First, Plan B is to prevent pregnancy. It isn't an abortion pill. - the wrong element May 2, 19:31
  - You are going to have people traveling to blue states for Aborcations. Because the red states are going to ban it outright, banned once conception -- nm - Bacon May 2, 19:19 4
    - So it will hit the poor and young the hardest. -- nm - Bacon May 2, 19:19 3
      - and then the right will go for the all out ban. Oh states rights? Yeah fuck that because now it doesn't fit our goals anymore. Total ban fuck the - Bacon May 2, 19:21
      - That s always been the goal. Meat for the machine. -- nm - Beryllium May 2, 19:20 1
        
        Yup. Force birth a base -- nm - Epiphany! May 2, 19:28
- Is it mean of me to blame some of this on Ruth Ginsburg? - Bacon May 2, 19:04 3
  - Yes, but also Dem leadership for never realizing they weren't playing by the same rules. -- nm - Reagen May 2, 19:15
  - Her decision to not time her retirement was impactful, no doubt -- nm* - ty97 May 2, 19:14
  - Nah. It’s fair. -- nm* - Volnelk May 2, 19:06
- awful -- nm - Remlik May 2, 18:39
- Question: can this be made into federal law or something? (NM) - Marlowe May 2, 18:24 18
  - Yes, but it would be unlikely to pass. And if it did, it would be reversed as soon as the Republicans control Congress again. -- nm - Tim May 2, 18:36 1
    - so when/if Republicans take back control of Congress, then they can also pass laws to outlaw it completely yes -- nm - Jovian May 2, 19:02
  - we can't even pass minimum wage, equal rights for women, covid relief, parental leave...this is the right's big issue -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 18:32
  - Until it's challenged and SCOTUS rules Congress has no authority to do so. - TWuG May 2, 18:29
  - NAL: Yes, though the Dems probably can't or won't manage to do it. SCOTUS conservatives could also invalidate that law as violating state's rights. -- nm - ty97 May 2, 18:28 13
    - Followup: so that means that states as a rule can make sure it is legal in their territory, right? (NM) - Marlowe May 2, 18:43 12
      - Yes. We are now a blue and red nation on abortion law. -- nm - Will Hunting May 2, 18:44 11
        
        The way they are wording it, seems like the failure is leaning on State's Rights which could be used to split many more issues up as well. -- nm - Qale May 2, 19:14
        
        It’s expected to be illegal in over half of the states immediate if Roe were struck down. -- nm - Tim May 2, 18:50 1
        
        That's a lot of places we can't have the All-Star Game any more. - Mop May 2, 19:04
        
        Double follow-up: what is the practical value of RvW at this point? I understand the symbolic significance, but if the GOP states can do what they can - Marlowe May 2, 18:47 3
        
        They couldn’t until this ruling was upheld / overturned. -- nm - Will Hunting May 2, 18:52 2
        
        But isn't the Texas law already active since whenever, or is it pending? (NM) - Marlowe May 2, 18:57 1
        
        only because of procedural technicalities, iinm, but which definitely telegraphed the court's stance on this decision -- nm* - znufrii May 2, 19:04
        
        It’s the prosecuting of those who cross borders that I think is going to land this right back in SCOTUS within a matter of months. -- nm - Mop May 2, 18:46 3
        
        I actually think there's no way that gets upheld. -- nm - pmb May 2, 18:58 2
        
        You mean the criminalization of cross-border abortions? - Mop May 2, 19:06 1
        
        Yes. And yes. -- nm - pmb May 2, 19:11

  - Okay good, I am not the only person that thinks this. I posted before I read. -- nm - Bacon May 2, 19:04 1
    - Well not exactly what I think. -- nm - Bacon May 2, 19:05
  - Next up, birth control, gay marriage (and just being gay), interracial marriage. -- nm - Tim May 2, 18:09 2

  - I mean that’s all great. But its clear they have it. -- nm - MDH May 2, 18:06
- This is the most major leak in Supreme Court history. -- nm - MDH May 2, 18:02 1
  - and (if true) also the least surprising -- nm - ty97 May 2, 18:02
