conspiratorial group of plotters;


While a “cabal” is usually seen as “secret”, in this case it is “UNDERSTOOD” as an “open secret” between the far right extremists on the SC and the far right extremists who control most red state legislatures. Here’s how it works: it is UNDERSTOOD by the red state legislators that if they are unable to pass a particular bill because perhaps a federal law stands in the way, that if they will bring it into the courts by filing a lawsuit challenging the federal law, that within a year or two the far right Supreme Court will take up that lawsuit.and reverse or override the federal law in the name of “state’s rights” and thereby allow the red state legislatures to pass the law that they originally wanted. In other words, the far right members of both the SC and the red state legislatures fully understand, without actually stating It out loud, that “the fix is in”.
It has been gradually gaining steam over the years by, for instance, clamping down on unions, and in numerous other cases, but it’s now completely out in the open with the overturning of Roe. Red state Attorneys General filed numerous lawsuits hoping to get one to the SC with an understanding that it would give the far right justices a chance to overturn Roe, even though the great majority of Americans were against doing so. Democracy be damned, full speed ahead in creating a right wing paradise through the cabal of far right SC “justices” and far right state legislatures.
And they are far from over. The red state legislatures are rushing to pretty much destroy democracy by moving the power to select presidential electors from the majority of voters in their state and into their own red state legislatures, knowing that the far right SC will eventually back them up, democracy be damned. Never again will we see a Democratic president, no matter the nationwide popular vote or the popular vote within a red state. The far right cabal intends to put a final nail into American democracy.

Actually the GOP is protecting us from the cabal of quasi-commies in the Democratic Party

Roe v Wade was anti-democratic

One of the biggest jokes in the senate-born with a platinum spoon in his mouth, he pretends to care about the poor and downtrodden

Yes, cabal. I explained it. What SPECIFICALLY do you not agree with?
 
They should. It’s the demise of democracy in this nation.
more psychobabbling bullshit. what the justices allegedly are going to do is to put abortion up for a democratic evaluation in all fifty states.

You probably missed it, not looking past the first two words, since they were a repeat of yours.

Fwiw, I sometimes like reading my posts too, but hey...

There, I even bolded it and oversized the font for your benefit.

And if that doesn't help - SPECIFICALLY I'm questioning you whether we had a democracy before Roe v. Wade or not.
I ask, because SPECIFICALLY your OP and the title of your thread suggest, nay, flat out assert, if not in so many words, that democracy didn't exist in our country before Roe v. Wade.

Well, did we, or did it? Did we have democracy before Roe v. Wade or not?

We anticipate your characteristic deflection to avoid responding directly.

You don't have to agree with what Republicans' substantive agenda to find it incredibly bizarre that their efforts to allow state legislatures to define the laws in their own states would somehow be thought of as an effort to destroy democracy.

Creating a complete cluster ****, and a state by state race to the bottom…
 
We can always count on you for silly posts.
At least he properly identified the party, which was probably autocorrect, anyway.
 
How is supporting personal freedoms un democratic???
are you now saying that democracy guarantees personal freedoms? I think you need a refresher course on American Politics 101. Does a viable fetus have any personal freedoms? because that is the issue to many.

BB in a few

What you describe is the political process and it's built in "do loop" structure.

It was Jeff Toobin who first pointed out that the left bypassed the legislative systems going directly to the courts to enforce their minority agenda.

Maybe you should reapply your term cabal.
 
So let me get this straight. Justices nominated and confirmed by the Senate is some kind of threat to democracy?
Isn't that how the process has always worked?

Love the exclusion zones in Seattle. Now that was anti-democratic.

Not for those who like the idea of murder on demand.

So as an American, how does a woman have a right to an abortion in one state, but not in another? Sure doesn't sound like the United States to me. This is what led to the Roe ruling in the first place.

Conservatives are taking America backwards fast. It's a real shame to see. Go ban some more books and leave women's bodies alone. At least we can still buy the banned books anywhere.

White right hard core Christians have no right whatsoever to tell women how to control their health care. I don't believe in the long run you will win this war. You'll win the battle for the short term, but a reconning is coming for conservatives.
