The
Beehive State
The argument by the three Liberal Supreme Court Judges
today is that if Roe is overturned the Court will be
perceived as nothing but a political tool
of the Republican Party from here on.
To which the Conservative Judges have no doubt thought
to themselves: "And?"
-----------------
Even if the Supreme Court overturns
Roe v. Wade there will always be abortions
in this country, just not safe abortions. This shameless
exhibition of kabuki is not about abortion or saving
little innocent zygotes. It's about keeping women powerless.
------------------
I have this somewhat hopeful hunch that the Supreme
Court will only strike down a portion of Roe v. Wade,
rather than the whole thing, allowing women to still
have limited access to their Constitutional right of
self-determination but leaving the Right plenty of
material with which to cudgel their base into action
at the voting booths while continuing to righteously
bank yacht payments, I mean, campaign donations
from racist
misogynists
and Big Daddy Koch.
After all, a Republican without an emotional hot-button
to ceaselessly pound is closer to a true 1950s Conservative
than whatever the Hell they represent lately.
----------------
Once the Radical Right elements of the Supreme
Court gut Roe v. Wade there will be literally no going
back to a Democratic Republic. Those five, or six,
Judges will proceed to serve justice the way Trump
ran the Presidency.... on a whim. The SC will have
no reason or obligation not to do as they're told by
the Republican Party as the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights, to them, have become quaint, meaningless
historical honey-do's. I perceive future resignations
from the bench among the Liberal Judges
just
to keep
their hands clean of the bloody mess that is certain
to come.
This won't happen all at once. It's been happening
all along, ever since Reagan. The temperature of
the water in our metaphorical pot raising in small
amounts just the
way it's
been
doing for forty
years. The metaphorical frogs in this metaphorical
pot won't be allowed to die because the Right has way
too
much
fun
watching
them suffer.

If being suspended from his job is considered suitable
punishment for Chris Cuomo as a result of using his
media position to help his political associates, in
this case his brother, then Tucker Carlson should be
permanently chained to a rock while an eagle feasts
on his liver every morning for all the poisonous water
he's carried for Donald Trump.
