Scaremongering. The court won’t overturn it. But I do think it will allow some restrictions that could galvanize the left. It’s all sort of moot though unless we get some election integrity reform.
The Supreme Court has already been "packed" with conservatives by McConnell and Trump. It will not be changing for decades. So what courts are you talking about being packed by Democrats? Issues as important as Roe v Wade don't get settled in the lower courts.
No the SCOTUS has had Justices duly appointed. Court packing means to expand the number of Justices. The Dems want to increase the numbers, hence their desire to end the filibuster.
Just like making Trump President led to another nail in the GOPs coffin, I’d love for them to get this one thing they want (temporary as it will ultimately be) so we can get their funeral over a little faster.
No, dems and pubs both want safe, legal, low-cost, fast, efficient abortion. The people have spoken, and abortion is here to stay.
Yeah, at this point it's merely a fund raising tool to direct at the REALLY religiously invested and obtuse....even if they don't know its their religion.
There is no cow easier to milk in our political spectrum than that of the self-righteous. Some defend it with religion, some claim to be non-religious but the result and thinking is the same.

Have to disagree. A more general reading would be that court packing is an attempt to change the rules to give your side more picks, which is precisely what McConnell did when he invented a new rule to refuse a vote on Obama's duly nominated pick while then disregarding the same rule to advance Barrett.

Like to see Biden take both sides of that issue depending on who would do the appointing (Bush I vs. Obama)?
McConnell just followed Biden's advice from 1992 instead of 2016.
It's highly likely Roe v Wade gets overturned next summer. The SCOTUS has agreed to revisit it and I think it's very unlikely they uphold it. This is the main reason Trump was elected and the entire reason the SCOTUS nominees were pushed through the way they were so there's no question that they are going to seize on this opportunity.
Question is, could it drive liberal turnout in the midterms and dampen the GOP's chance to retake Congress? There are going to be a lot of angry women once they realize that a theocratic state now has control over their reproductive organs.
1. Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided in a shockingly egotistical way. Those seven judges were completely nuts.
2. It would be a disaster for the GOP in upcoming elections if the Supreme Court overrules the Roe holding.
What was the case about and why did they decide what they did?
Hint: the logic of the Roe decision flowed from prior decisions. Bonus points if you know what any of those cases were.
I don't give a **** about the Supreme Court's opinions. An opinion isn't "better" because the previous opinion was ALMOST as bad.
