Those hoping to determine which long-term path the Republican party will take after today’s Supreme Court decision need to look no further than to the RNC itself. In a message released immediately after the ruling, Reince Priebus mildly criticized the ruling (correctly, in my view) while acknowledging its ”finality;” struck a magnanimous note, confirming that the GOP “[respects] those on the winning side of the case” and remains “committed to finding common ground”; and identified the key priority going forward, which is to ensure the protection of conscience rights and the maintenance of religious liberty.

NR is pro-gay. What they have to say is irrelevant to me.
What Is and Isn’t Flushable
Homeowners flush materials down toilets without realizing that they contribute to clogs. These include facial tissues, wipes, napkins, paper towels, floss, coffee grounds, hair, feminine hygiene products, grease and other fats or oils, medications, plastic and diapers. As they sit in your waste pipes, they block other material you flush down afterward, until finally a clog is formed. Sometimes it’s hard to determine whether a product should be flushed or not because many baby wipes, diapers and feminine hygiene products are labeled flushable. To determine whether or not it should go into your toilet drain, fill two bowls with water. Put toilet paper in one bowl, and the item you’re wondering about in the other. If you swish these around in the water and then leave them for about an hour, when you return, you’ll see the difference between flushable and not flushable. Toilet paper disintegrates in water, so it easily goes down your drain and out through the waste pipes. Other items remain intact. If the material does not disintegrate in water, it is not flushable.
Republicans haven’t fought for anything so far.
So when they promise to fight now....well, they’re just not going to do it....
“Could have”.
The establishment GOP is breathing a huge sigh of relief for this ruling and the Obamacare decision.
Lets not kid ourselves.
Time to push the reset button and start over. We really haven’t had a constitution that has been followed as law since at least FDR. And this just finishes completely.
Constitution convention. Call the states together, let’s get started.
The GOPs long term response needs to be along these lines...
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
....
It’s over for them. There will be some noise but that’s it. They have raised the white flag.
So, since the GOP dissolves so quickly, they are flushable?
Okay. But what about members of the RNC? Are they flushable?
*Republicans haven’t fought for anything so far.
So when they promise to fight now....well, they’re just not going to do it....*
Sometimes they muster up the courage to say, “Stop!
...or I shall say “Stop” again.

The hardest thing the GOP has to do about this is to behave as if it ISN’T what they wanted.
Dare someone to go post Priebus’ “magnanamous” statement on DU or KOS or some other Prog site and watch what happens.
Would be more entertaining than shark-feeding time at the Baltimore Acquarium.
People hate being corrected, but I can’t help myself either. Drives me nuts.
Thank you!
Yes, they are. But it requires a well organized and persistent Conservative Movement to flush them and make them stay flushed.
And the kind of organization and persistance needed isn’t the Conservative Movement’s strong suit.
The GOP doesn’t have any response, long term or otherwise, to anything at all.
Look at how often the democrats make and enforce sweeping wholesale changes to our society, and look how often the republicans do the same or reverse any of that.
Never.
Now, considering that, one can wonder why this is. The republicans are either the most ineffective political party ever in the history of political parties, or they are liars who, in fact, agree with the democrats.
Either way, no democrat societal change is ever going to be answered, responded to, or reversed in any way by the GOP, furthermore, no conservative change will ever be implemented by the GOP, because the GOP is not conservative.
Today we lost the Senate and Presidency in ‘16.
We will be very lucky to hold the House.
