Breaking... US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade

Making the court so partisan is why people get to freely use nominally disparaging terms like leftist and conservative. It's supposed to be about the law and the Constitution and it's not. It's now whatever people issues some groups have and whether they can get the SC to undo them. Thomas seems to be game for anything, thanks to his very narrow view of the world at this stage and at least 2-3 more could be very easily persuaded to follow him.

Yes, these kind of issues are inevitable as long as the SC members are political appointees. That link needs to be broken but very difficult to figure out a way to do that. This is not solely a US issue, most countries have an equivalent set up where appointments are politically based.

I've always known that was the case, but usually they go for "Uncles Toms" instead of N bombs.

Also a dive into a world of posters who think that Twitter is ever a good foundation for any argument. It's just an example of how much of a cesspool Twitter is, full of angry disturbed people all the way along the spectrum.

The only one who's frantic here is you. I saw them all on Twitter, without "frantically scouring" if you must know. This seems to be the new line though, anytime someone comes across anything that makes the left look bad, they get accused of going out of their way to find this stuff.

The United States is a huge country, North America as a whole even bigger if you're taking that as your field of inquiry. Of course you're going to find random individuals who support progressive causes generally but have backward racial attitudes if you go desperately seeking them out. If the guy calling Clarence Thomas the n-word was a prominent Democrat or a NARAL leader it might have some significance...

The racist abuse of thomas should get the perpetrators kicked off twitter permanently. I did lose some respect for the guy mentioning in his SC opinions related to gay rights and contraceptives but not mentioning in the same sentence the decision related to inter-marriage between blacks and whites as that would affect him personally. I think its dangerous when courts become partisan but i think that happens in every court in America.

What are you suggesting might have happened instead? Just because some randomers on the Internet were threatening a 'night of rage' the judges would come out and say oops we made a mistake, Roe v Wade stays after all...
