I PRAY HE REMEMBERS WHO BROUGHT HIM TO THE DANCE!

I don’t understand why they are saying it is such a change? It isn’t. It’s no different than it was. Neither side won anything. They haven’t changed Roe/Wade in all these years, why do they think it is such an assurance it will happen because Kavanaugh was confirmed? Same thing applied when Roberts was confirmed. A lot of talk, no change.

The people who arguably lobbied the hardest for Kavanaugh were President GW BUsh and Condoleezza Rice. He was one of GW Bush’s top aides. He clerked for the swing voting Justice Kennedy. It has been rumored that Kennedy would not retire unless Kavanaugh was nominated to be his replacement.

The real fireworks will begin when Ruth Bader Ginsberg is wheeled out of the halls of the Supreme Court for the last time. Looking at her is hard to believe that she will make it for much longer.

Justice Sotomayer has been having severe difficulties keeping her type 1 diabetic problems under control. “Women with type 1 diabetes have their lives cut short by about 13 years, according to a report published in the Jan. 6 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.” Sotomayer is 68; the average life span of a woman with type 1 diabetes is... 68.

I have a question:

Why do lesbians care so much about abortions being free and freely available?

Seems like most of the protest speakers are open about being lesbians, and yet they are furious when they think Kavenaugh is going to make abortions illegal.

Why are Capital Police permitting the mob to occupy the steps of the Supreme Court?

[BeadCounter]

Watching one of the channels, they say there are about 6 or 8 abortion cases that will go to SCOTUS.

I heard one pundit saying, you might see Roe v. Wade piecemealed down.

Anyway, if they thought, they could reverse Roe, they would have pick Amy Coney Barret. This is kind of an in between move.

I don’t suspect big changes in the next year; but they could come at some point after that.

I call this a victory but we will still have to wait and see.

AND Justice Kavanaugh's elevation creates a vacancy on the DC Circuit, which will also be filled by President Trump.

Best we can hope for is for the Feds to be stopped from pushing it on the States and letting the States handle it...for near future.
