I can agree, you might get stuff around the edges; carve outs for religious organization ect.


but I think they are smart enough to stop short of anything super unpopular public opinion wise,

like really draconian abortion bans or any real changes to laws around gay marriage or LGBT workplace discriminations.


at some point we gotta look at reveled preference,
the legal wing of the conservative movement has had tons of chances to deliver real big wins for social conservatives and when it comes down to it they demure.

I expect the same with Barrett.

more rulings that make it impossible to implement government regulation, more rulings making it easier for republicans to hold minority rule

and no major action on social issues.
But the thing is I think it goes beyond some religious freedom stuff. Of course that will be the vehicle for some **** but I don't know while you are confining the wishes of social conservatives to just things that have to do with religion. Social conservatives are also racist as ****. White supremacy and white nationalism are binding forces with white evangelicals.

They will strike down the rest of Voting Rights Act by late 2021 or 2022, this is certain. This will allow the GOP to re-enforce their minority rule with new racist laws, and pass tons of **** that don't have public support. So they might not side with a state that passing a complete ban on abortion, but they will side with one that puts so many restrictions on how abortions can operate that abortion clinics all over the state have to close.

Strike down liberal states power to enforce gun laws

Rollback immigrants and refugees legal protections

Strike down criminal justice reforms

Hell they don't need to strike down all LGBT protections, but deem an oppressive law cool because of some weird legal argument.

There is a good chance they are gonna throw 20 million people off of their health insurance in the couple month. And with that throw out coverage for preexisting conditions, which is has broad support in the country.

And again, back to Voting Rights, if they hand the GOP the power to never have to worry about Democrat voters being able to properly punish them at the polls, why would conservatives care about major blowback? Especially the judges?

I mean you are really trusting a court with three far right reactionaries, two far right conservatives, and the swing vote being a dude that only disagrees with right wing legal buffoonery because of bad lawyering, not to **** **** up?

Hell being a foil to a progressive movement for the next 20-30 years if gonna make social conservatives extremely happy.

So maybe social conservatives don't get the home run they want. But the Supreme court will give them a ton of singles, and doubles, enough to put runs on the board.
 




Guess mother finally weighed in to get Pence outta the debate?


He's trying anything to get out of the debate! We all know that Kamala will wax the floor with him. He will get lambasted, flambayed and skewered! Whatever he says, they better not excuse him and cancel it, because her verbal beat down of him will be of epic proportions and I wanna see it!

A quote comes to mind here, something like "if you take away a person's ability to hold politicians accountable with votes, they'll protest, and if you take away their ability to protest, then they'll be on your doorstep". I'm paraphrasing, but....yeah. Their internal calculus is obviously geared towards cheating to maintain power and using brute force against dissenters. So it seems.
What's wilder is that they wanna **** around with people's ability to survive in the ******* winter, long after rent and eviction moratoriums have expired.

Do they even understand the storm they're trying to fly into?

They understand clearly..both Democrats and Republicans don't give 2 ****s bout the regular everyday ordinary people. If they did they would set aside their differences and give us the temporary help we need. It's a circus in politics and that's fa****sho keepin us powerless and controlled through dividing chaos.

The democrat controlled house has literally passed hundreds of bills to help people that the republican controlled senate refuses to even vote on. It's ok to be low information. It's better than pretending you're not and then getting corrected.

What differences do the Democrats need to set aside here?
