The only way we're going to beat the Supreme Court at its own game, is to

convince the Right that some of these laws are going to also take their rights away. i.e. Conservative women who are affected by stillbirths are not immune to what, medically, could go wrong. Or, prisoners who felt railroaded by an incompetent lawyer will get a wake up call. All under the rule of unintended consequences.

Bottomline, remember those testimonials that conservatives ran before every campaign, and it involved actors, not real victims? Well, do the same but be honest about the reenactments.

1. They're creating the America of their dreams

I’m not sure why anyone thinks they care what people think about it. Democrats or Fascists.

7. It will matter when these middle class to poor Republicans realize that

their mothers, daughters, sisters are dying for things that had medical remedies back when Democrats were in control; or the main bread winner of the household was railroaded with a poor lawyer, by a vengeful neighbor who has local connections.

20. I guess I'd be more inclined to believe that

Had so many not gone proudly to their early graves to “own the libs” during the worst of the Covid death waves

[Baitball Blogger]

22. True. Except that death has a way of cutting back on human introspection.

[Scrivener7]

2. This is how Thurgood Marshall and RBG got civil rights for POC and women.

[Baitball Blogger]

8. Exactly.

We don't have the attention of the Right's support, because we have managed to defend some of the safety nets. But, those nets are coming down and people are going to go splat.

3. they don't care if they fuck over their own people

in the process of fucking over liberals. They do not give a shit about their own people.

And their base is Ok with it as long as the liberals get screwed over.

[LakeArenal]

4. I believe this is 90% of republicanism.

[LiberalFighter]

13. That is how Thomas thinks.

[Novara]

21. Agreed

Bad stuff only happens to other people. They feel that they are insulated. They don't give a shit.

[allegorical oracle]

26. As another rural lib, I agree. Drumpsters around me will flat-out shoot their best hunting dog if

the dog barked and annoyed them. A) they have reptilian brains that react only to hunger, sex, and anger; B) they have chips on their shoulders the size of Texas -- they were shafted from childhood, through school, and the workplace; they blame "elites" -- teachers and bosses, as well as minorities, for their woes. They revel in rolling in their resentment, which was played like a piano concerto by TFG. Totally lacking in empathy, if their daughter comes up preggers...well it's just another way THEY (not the daughter) got screwed by the elitist lefties.

5. Who do you plan to convince?

The GQP leadership is thrilled with this, and the SCOTUS have lifetime appointments. The rank and file are hear only what they want to hear, are too stupid to know the difference and are thrilled to be "owning the libs".

We need to convince the MIDDLE that the right is their enemy.

10. It's going to be a slow process. Awareness will come one voter at a time,

as family disasters become more prevalent. Only then will some of them see a wake-up call.

By the way, my mother would call these things that throw a family off course from a good, normal life, a desgracia. Essentially, a life altering personal misfortune. She was incredibly paranoid, and sometimes unpleasant to live with, because she was always on guard to make sure we didn't do anything that would lead us down the road to such an event horizon. Which was a constant nightmare for her, since growing up during the sixties, American life was a Pied Piper.

6. The Only Way We're Going To Beat THem

is to vote in lots more Dems, pass laws they can't touch and then make a law/s regarding the ethics they should be held to. Gorsuch should've recused himself on the EPA ruling. And, think about removing some for lying under oath, a long shot I grant you but to be considered.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. This Supreme Court is a nightmare!

Gorsuch is the apple that rotted on the tree that whelped him.

[Me.]

16. Which...Is THe Most Rotten?

I mean, think about these sad sack losers who have power for damage and destruction in their hands right now.

[Baitball Blogger]

23. I think the more I hear about them, it really comes down to what scandal

they created that day for us, that decides who is the worst.

[FarPoint]

9. I actually think.....

Democrats win the midterms/ House/ Senate...then, we will increase the Supreme Court members to a total of 11 Justices within a year of the midterm win.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. That would work.

I saw Kentaji Brown Jackson's swearing in, and I was screaming at the t.v. "May you be the first of a new wave in the Supreme Court!"

[FarPoint]

15. me too...

[Amishman]

18. We have a fair chance at holding the Senate, the House outlook is very grim

We've lost a million voters, mostly suburban, in defection to the Republicans
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/more-than-1-million-voters-switch-to-gop-raising-alarm-for-democrats

Winning deep blue urban districts by 90% instead of 70% doesn't help if the suburbs start going red again.

538 launched their statistical model for midterms, and their data analysis has the pubs very likely to take the house.

Betting markets are also heavily favoring the Pubs taking the house. PredictIt has us at about a 15% chance - up from 10% before the Dobbs decision.

14. They need to be hounded to the point of exhaustion and

[Grasswire2]

17. prosecuting Ginni Thomas might help. nt

[Baitball Blogger]

24. Well, it certainly would give us some relief knowing she isn't pulling any strings.

And let's be clear about this. The only reason she has such a high profile among the co-conspirators, is because her husband is on the Supreme Court. That's why I won't let up on the belief that what we're seeing from the conservative Supreme Court is part of the same conspiracy.

[Grasswire2]

25. I agree with your point.

Ginni/Scotus mess is part of the coup attempt.

And look now how SCOTUS announcements have been timed to seize the news narrative away from J6.

It's Ginni's court now, not Roberts'

[LAS14]

19. The only way to beat them is to VOTE, VOTE, VOTE for legislators that....

.... represent the majority of Americans. It will take years, but we need to take back the court.
