(11,254 posts)There's nothing to be gained by siding with unpopular antivaxxers against settled law. This just gives her cover when the time comes to overturn Roe v Wade and just about any voting laws passed by Democrats.

What do you mean you want to get rid of the filibuster because of the court? Look at Amy Barretts voting records; she voted against the anti vaxxers. You just want to expand the court to partisan reasons.
That is why. For that argument. Any time these justices throw us a bone for something they didnt care about anyway, they add to that argument to go back to when they vote how they want when it counts.

These decisions dont change their RW ideology, nor are they ruling one way or another because they dont want the court expanded, or getting rid of the filibuster. Those issues are decided by Congress, not the SC
This decision follows their state rights, private institutions federalist society ideology
As for the other issues:
The filibuster is up to the Senate to change the rules, and increasing the number of justices on the SC has been done before, and again is up to Congress

(1,780 posts)...and a real piece of sh*t. She used to be with ONAN...er...OANN, now home to the execrable Chanel Rion. Robinson's Twitter feed is a nonstop sewer main of conspiracy theories, red-baiting, religious-right RadTrad-ism, and as of late, sickeningly sycophantic, minute-by-minute picayune coverage of Pillow Man's "Cyber Symposium". Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention, she's also a huge anti-vaxxer. Like 90% of her usual Twitter feed.
The intellectually lazy response to anything these idiots dont like.
