Obama also backtracked from Freedom of Choice Act immediately after entering office, which was a significant blow to the effort of protecting abortion rights.

Do you really think that the fedsoc six would give a shit about a piece of legislation? They were always going to rule against abortion regardless of its legal basis because they are all theocratic fucks. The only thing that is going to save abortion is a rebalancing of the court.

Oh these days never. In 2009 though I think Stevens would've swung with Kennedy, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Breyer and may have been able to cuck Roberts into a majority had there been a challenge.

Which is absolutely why the federalist society waited until they got their court to start their challenges.

All my adult life I had been saying they would never do it because they need the single issue voters to stay mad. I was shocked.

They've got anti trans bullshit for those people now, and they can still get them frothing about states where abortion is still legal to push for a federal ban.

The thing with anger is that it's an easy emotion, so it's easy to switch it to something else. They're right on to being mad about trans and woke.
