Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at 87. - 🦀

[Hellbound Hellhound]

I didn't every make the implication that it was the pro-choice side's fault, considering I'm not pro-life, but going off that claim, how is it the pro-life camp's fault when the laws are currently more liberal in America than in several European countries? By your own argument an acceptable compromise hasn't been reached in America because it's ostensibly balanced towards the pro-choice side.

The discrepancies between US and European abortion law are practically meaningless, because any cases which could highlight a discrepancy are so vanishingly small in number that they're statistically irrelevant. The vast majority of abortions performed on both continents are performed within the first trimester, and that's clearly where most of the contention exists in the US.

In practice, the law in the US is no more or less liberal than the laws throughout most of Western Europe. The difference is that in the US, the issue still generates controversy.

It’s not settled because Roe v. Wade was built on a fiction.
Do you know what parts of the Constitution were used to justify “abortion as a right”? Criminal search and seizure and generic right to privacy. The left could have gotten an amendment but that would have required explaining to the public how babies aren’t actually babies until the sun touches them or something.

I’m sure your next line is something like “but a woman’s right to choose” or “but muh crotch goblins”, which is all irrelevant. Get a fucking Amendment, that’s how the Constitution works. Invent shit and expect it to be an issue until it is overturned.

You're utterly deluding yourself if you think the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade is what motivates it's opponents. To them, the legality of abortion is fundamentally a moral issue, and whether or not the Constitution is legitimately on their side is completely immaterial.

Even beyond the upcoming election, that situation could be disastrous. The fact that the upcoming election is undoubtedly going to be disputed only makes it that much more pressing that the vacancy is filled as quickly as possible. If we have an election where the Supreme Court can't definitively side one way or the other on the rulings pertaining to the results of the election, I'm... Not exactly sure what happens.

Well the courts are now 5-3 instead of 5-4 Conservative-Liberal. The courts tend towards split decisions on political stuff and unanimous on non-politicized stuff. If an election scuffle did land infront of the court it should tilt towards the Conservative side in theory.

There is no "in the event of my death, you have to reserve my seat" clause in the U.S. Constitution for deceased Justices. You don't get to use your own death to dictate the direction of this country, and frankly I find it disgusting that Ginsberg left this world issuing a statement that she knew would cause more political upheaval.

She could have said anything, anything in the world, and she chose to die sowing more political division and partisanship. There is nothing commendable about that, and there is no merit or reason in following her wishes. Elections have consequences.

Well maybe she should have retired in 2013 if the Dems wanted to fill the seat then Obama.
But no that honor had to go to Queen Hillary didn't it now?
Or maybe your pal Harry Reid shouldn't have rammed through a simple majority for nominees.
I'd say elections have consequences but HK beat me to the punch.

At least, when women do it, they know they won’t have to actually fight the war.

LOL says who? The prohibition on killing the enemy's women stems from civility. These cunts declared outright that civility is to be forgone. They, with their cucks,will reap the whirlwind if they don't smarten up. Civil wars are horrific,it'd behoove them not to provoke one.

This thread now has as many pages as Ginsburg had years.

 

[Who dat?]

It’s probably gonna be Amy.

And the Democrats, employing the tone deafness which brought them so much success in the last two Supreme Court nominations, will screech and howl about her being a Catholic, thereby driving Catholic votes to Trump (who is already ahead among White Catholics anyway).

A bonus: Biden's nurse sits on the Senate judiciary committee. So we will get to see a replay of her obnoxious jungle behavior. Some people may have forgotten it from last time.

So, what's the scoop on these three? I know a fellow Kiwi elaborated on Amy some pages back, but the other two seems like literally whos.

You don't get to use your own death to dictate the direction of this country, and frankly I find it disgusting that Ginsberg left this world issuing a statement that she knew would cause more political upheaval. People are going to be hurt or even killed as a result of her "dying wish."

First of all, laffin at obama.medium.com. Seems like a fake domain name.
Second, I'm not convinced she actually said anything about the next justice's appointment. Literally anyone with her in her last few days can say "The last thing she said to me was..." and if it fits the narrative then it'll be used.

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

So I guess all those hexes and binding spells incanted against Kavanaugh missed their target. This is what you could call a rebound.

Get your tubes tied then.

lol why is everyone going nuts? I'm pretty sure legal abortion isn't going away in the US anytime soon.

You can't just "get your tubes tied," it's not like going to McDonald's. It's easier to troon out a 4 year old child than for an adult woman with no kids to get her tubes tied.

And it won't, realistically what will happen is that areas where it's already hard to get an abortion will make it slightly harder. But a lot of people in those areas.. don't want abortions already, that's why the area is like that.

Does the Left think the authorities are too dumb to do keyword searches on Twitter?

I remember back when Trump won in 2016, there was a joke floating around that Democrats had not been that upset with election results since the election of 1860. I still think that holds true today, considering how this people are now foaming at the mouth to murder the politicians on the other side of the aisle because the patron saint of snarky, bitchy politicians finally keeled over.

There's no hope for these people, is there?
