If you don't see any difference between, say, Obama and Trump, or Sanders and Cruz, or AOC and MTJ, you are blind and deaf.

Well there is an ancient saying....two of **** is ****.

If one bad thing is worse than another, it doesn't make one of them "good".

Posted needed a /s to indicate sarcasm, or sardonic-ism perhaps here.

It's mocking the 'Enlightened Independent Centrists' who use the lazy thinking described. The same thinking is used to sooth cognitive dissonance by conservatives who start actually thinking and realize how evil they're being. The same thinking is invoked by authoritarians like Putin in Russia to justify their actions.

Weaponized, lazy, nihilistic, apathy. The only way to justify their failure to even try to do anything is to pretend nothing would have worked anyway.

I'm sure Warpy doesn't think they will do that either.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not so sure about that. The next hearings aren't for a couple weeks, giving them time to be the headline again.

More importantly, it's Drumpf's fault, second only to McConnell. People aren't going to completely ignore that.

What might just happen, along the lines of 'be careful what you wish for', are political upsets in some of these state houses this Nov.
 
My condolences to all the women losing the freedom to chose for themselves. It's a pity seeing a nation once dedicated to freedom slowly transforming itself into one that is not.
 
The January 6 Commission can't undue the nominations of Trump's 3 toadies no matter what they prove Trump did.

The 6-3 Conservative Majority isn't going away in our lifetimes.

The Thomas concurrence part about how the other rulings might have to be reconsidered is a mild surprise. However, the surprise is not that those decisions might be on the table (only the same people who've been saying for the last 20 years that the Roe v. Wade stuff is mere grandstanding & not really about Roe v. Wade & Casey being on the table should believe that these other decisions are definitely not on the table) but that he'd say so in the same decision where Alito tries to suggest otherwise (albeit with little or no credibility).

Quick someone check on Susan Collins. Ask her how "concerned" she is about all of this.

If nothing else, it blasts yesterday's gun ruling off the front page. This is a ruling that all but guarantees virtually any restriction on firearm carry & ownership to become tied up in the courts for years.

Back when celebrity chef Cat Cora and her wife had a child, they said that they decided that one of them would carry the other's fertilized egg to term so that they would both have a legal claim to their child, "just in case" something happened to the legal status of their marriage. it's depressing that it may have been a smart decision.

Yeah, especially for rape and incest victims; but then again, they're split-tails who say no when they really mean yes. Right?

On the Susan Collins Scale of Concern I believe we've reached "mildly vexed" bordering on "heavily perturbed".

Maybe when the first people start getting thrown in ovens she'll reach "Well this a dilly of a pickle..."
 
Nov will be telling. If the GOP doesn't lose seat after seat in Nov we are in real trouble. If they do then Congress has a chance to pass a federal law protecting human rights.
