I’m shocked that the husband of the vehement election denier and noted conspiracy theorist was thought to be their best bet to steal an election, shocked, I say!
Trump didn't call off his mob until 4:17 p.m. on Jan 6. Why did he do it then? He didn't do it because he thought it was the right thing to do.
He did it because he had just received the message that Mike Pence had usurped his authority and called out the National Guard (thread)
The Supreme Court announced it has agreed to hear a case next term that could upend election laws across the country.
Here's how: https://t.co/liCByawMaX
If you’re against abortion, don’t get one.
If you’re against contraception, don’t take any.
If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one.
If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender.
Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.
Abortion for *lethal* fetal anomalies is now *illegal* in Ohio
I’m a high-risk obstetrician here. I diagnose birth defects
So some point soon I may look someone in the eyes & say that they, against their will, will carry to term, undergo delivery & then have their child die
SCOTUS has gone all-in on legislating from the bench. The amount of precedent overturned in the last week is shocking.
We all knew the institution was broken, but I don’t think we realized how badly. They’re stepping all over the separation of powers.
We have to codify Roe v. Wade into law.
And as I said this morning: If the filibuster gets in the way, then we need to make an exception to get it done.
SCOTUS this week:
- Only states can regulate abortion
- States can’t regulate firearms
- The Environmental Protection Agency can’t protect the environment
- States have power over Indian Country
- Miranda rights aren’t *really* necessary
What an unmitigated disaster.
Our planet is on fire, and this extremist Supreme Court has destroyed the federal government’s ability to fight back.
This radical Supreme Court is increasingly facing a legitimacy crisis, and we can't let them have the last word.
A clearly angry Kagan pulling no punches: "The current Court is textualist only when being so suits it. When that method would frustrate broader goals, special canons like the 'major questions doctrine' magically appear as get out-of-text-free cards"
I don’t know if a half-dozen people have ever done more damage to the planet, to human welfare, to democracy, and to public safety in the course of less than a year.
When you vote for Republicans, this is the party you're validating-- a party that believes 12-year-old incest victims should be forced to carry their pregnancies to term. Reprehensible.
