She's just paying the Democrats back for all the attacks on her for having some integrity. She knows the extreme progressives will primary her next time.

Doesn't seem to really change much, though.

But it is true that Republicans have a lock on the Supreme Court.

They managed to get several on the bench who lied under oath to get there, and one Republican Supreme Court Justice is married to a woman in league with those trying to overthrow the federal government.

Nonetheless, they did manage to strike down women's right to make their own medical decisions.

It was amusing. I smiled.

But its also amusing the type of things that comes to Democrats' minds.

Unlike Ruth's, yours isn't funny. Its just simply a inane comment.

Economies grow when demand grows, not when supply grows.
Democrats make it more expensive to do business.

Period.

They struck down 9 men making the decision for what women should do and restored it back to the 340 million citizens of the nation.

That is going to cost the GOP many elections in the future. Eventually the momentum will sway the other way and the dems will be merciless. That was a blunder.

One that the GOP never saw coming. They never really wanted to strike down Roe. That, they knew, would be taking their number one get out the vote issue away from them and hand elections to the Democrats. Which is exactly what happened.

They caught the car. Big mistake. Now they have a car they have no clue what to do with and an electorate that has turned against them.

They just won the popular vote.

The SCOTUS decision led to states like Kansas codifying abortion....

The boogey man that the democrats tried to whip up didn't materialize.

The extreme democrat position of killing a baby up to the last minute is EVEN LESS popular than the extreme republican position of protecting all life.

The reality is that this decision refreshed the debate, allowed all states to make their own rules that are best for THEIR people, and it likely moderated BOTH sides of the debate toward a less extreme compromise.

Just as the framers intended.
