I quote (at length) the Great Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Sotomayor, who makes the point why five conservative justices determined the fate of half the population with barely a concern: “The Court’s order is stunning. Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand. Last night, the Court silently acquiesced in a State’s enactment of a law that flouts nearly 50 years of federal precedents. Today, the Court belatedly explains that it declined to grant relief because of procedural complexities of the State’s own invention. Ante, at 1. Because the Court’s failure to act rewards tactics designed to avoid judicial review and inflicts significant harm on the applicants and on women seeking abortions in Texas, I dissent. … In effect, the Texas Legislature has deputized the State’s citizens as bounty hunters, offering them cash prizes for civilly prosecuting their neighbors’ medical procedures. … Taken together, the Act is a breathtaking act of defiance—of the Constitution, of this Court’s precedents, and of the rights of women seeking abortions throughout Texas. … It cannot be the case that a State can evade federal judicial scrutiny by outsourcing the enforcement of unconstitutional laws to its citizenry. … The Court should not be so content to ignore its constitutional obligations to protect not only the rights of women, but also the sanctity of its precedents and of the rule of law.”
I add one final — and the most important — point made by the Great Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Kagan, “And it [Court of Appeals opinion] barely bothers to explain its conclusion — that a challenge to an obviously unconstitutional abortion regulation backed by a wholly unprecedented enforcement scheme is unlikely to prevail.” Bingo! Bingo! And bingo! The conservative SCOTUS justices agreed with that “reasoning.” And there it is in a nutshell. Sotomayor argues that the sole intention of the Texas law is to outlaw abortions, and Kagan pithily calls out the moral turpitude of the conservative justices’ decision not to enjoin the law because somehow they think the legal case against a clearly unconstitutional law is not likely to succeed. Case closed. Roe is dead! Never mind, most people across the country and within the states don’t want Roe overturned. But whatever! I give up! The minority is ruling us, and people don’t care.
So, what comes next for the political left? Uproar? Marching? Mobilization? Organization? Rage? Revolution? Kill the filibuster? Vote? (God forbid!) Uh, none of the above. This has been years in the making. A slow-moving freight train has been rolling down the track toward a washed-out bridge. We knew this was coming at least three presidential election cycles ago, and still, dumbass Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives demonstrated complete insouciance to the notion that elections matter when it comes to SCOTUS. Apparently, elections only matter when it’s too late — traitor trump. Oh, well. This is the bed dumbass Democrats made for their lack of political urgency and ruthlessness. So, in short, we get what we deserve, and I don’t see SCOTUS’s latest actions being enough to shake Democrats (especially politicians) from their complacency. And that pusillanimous statement from Biden was so m*****f***ing G.D. infuriating. He will do everything to protect women’s rights and advocate for legislation. Really? Thanks for reiterating the obvious and espousing tactics that have been entirely worthless. In the end, he’ll do nothing. It’s all talk with Democrats and little meaningful action. At the very least, Biden must call Justice Breyer and tell him it’s time to retire. I don’t give one G.D. f*** if it’s inappropriate. It’s time to play f***ing hardball for once, but Democrats are incapable. I give up! The Democratic Party is completely pathetic and outmatched for today’s political environment. Get ready for a RepubliKKKlan Christian theocracy. We deserve the government we get because most people don’t care! Welcome to stupid America.
