    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    They aren't really playing for parenting so much as they are paying for time off right after having a child, after a few weeks/months you're on your own. A few places do cover day care and the like as an additional perk. It doesn't seem meaningfully different than corporations paying for...

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    Yes, the actual order is basically toothless, and for once Biden is actually making executive branch policy limit by what he can actually legally do, as opposed to blatantly illegal power grabs like the eviction mandate.

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    Oh no, I think they're very serious. Maternity leave is about $8000, sometimes more. They'd much rather pay for some plane tickets. One would think that principled feminist would maybe have an issue with that, but even Ginsburg was like "nah, we gotta allow the baby murder, otherwise it'll...

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    I think that's unlikely. The Dems won't run on "we want our abortion laws to be like the laws in Germany or France", which is the majority position give or take a few weeks. Thier base won't allow a moderate position, they'll drag the dems out to the extremes, and if they run on those they'll...

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    It's beyond annoying that people are still pushing this "right" bit, after the decision very carefully explained how that's nonsense, and after the dissent totally failed to offer any sort of substantial rebuttal to that. Like, fine, you can think it's a right if you what to think that, but...

    Pre mid terms. Dobbs is supposed to be coming out this month, the riots will kick into high gear the second it does.

    I very much doubt there's any case law covering if a jury rigged and seemingly just symbolic gallows is or is not actually evidence of lethal intent.

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    The idea this guy was driving* all the way from California for at least two days and probably more, and at no point during that trip did he go "whoa, wait, what the hell was I thinking, I can't do this, this is insane." is honestly the worst part. How nuts do you have to be to pull into a...

    Ok, let me restate that. Keep discussion in this thread related to scotus, roe vs wade, the leak, the opinion itself, etc. Don't bring up unrelated or barely related elements.

    Guys, we're drifting a bit off topic here. Let's try to keep it to one hot button issue per thread, ok?

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    I think to an extant that's incorrect, because you're still operating in this world where political violence doesn't ever really happen, and you're projecting that opinion onto a future reality where it does. Certainly things have been much, much worse in the past few years, but even with that...

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    Under US law, there's not a lot that can be done with stuff like that, you have to real work at it to get in legal trouble for just what you say or publish. But if anyone was ever stupid enough to actually cross that line and even attempt to harm a SC justice, the blowback would be...

    NR actually has some reporting on the "someone" in question. The left is, uh, not exactly sending their best for this one.

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    I don't recall ever seeing a serious argument being made that Obergfell should be overturned, and IIRC it's not even related to the "reasoning" used in Roe. Roe: "There's a right to privacy in the constitution somewhere, or there probably is anyway, and part of privacy is being able to kill...

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    Define "the abortion debate", because there's actually two issues involved in it, the moral question of if abortion itself is morally defensible, and then there's the largely unrelated question about how the first question should be addressed legally. I would argue that questions like "whi gets...

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    It was almost certainly leaked in order to try and pressure the majority into reversing course and keeping Roe. If they wanted maximum engagement, leaking it doesn't help, they could have just sat back and let the ruling itself fire up D voters when it was supposed to be announced in June.

    SCOTUS Getting Shade Over Roe v Wade

    I would hate to see a federal abortion statue passed too (assuming it mirrors currently abortion law, rather than a more moderate compromise bill), but even if it does happen that's still an improvement over the status quo. Striking that law from the books would be a matter of one election cycle...

    Yeah. Given the apoplectic meltdown from blue checkmark right now, I'm not really getting the sense that they think this will be a minor setback for a few months until they secure their majority and start passing everything they want. That's not certain. They have 2 definite No votes against...
