Texas Abortion Law Overturned (5-3)

[liskddksil]

Per Scotusblog:

"To make a long story short, the Court strikes down both provisions of HB 2 -- the admitting privileges requirement and the requirement that all abortion clinics have facilities comparable to an outpatient surgical center."

3. FanTAStic!1 The anti-Choicers are such *DAMNED HIPOCRITES* on major levels

1) They claim to be pro-"life" yet once the babes are born the hypocritical wingnuts do their damnedest to cut all LIFE SUSTAINING and NURTURING social services.

2) They claim to be so "freedom" loving, but they sure like to poke their damned noses into everybody else's PERSONAL decisions!

4. Finally KENNEDY did something to earn his vaunted "swing" rep!

I'm sure somebody will school me about all and how many of his votes have swung to us, to which I say, "What have you done for me LATELY?!1"

Now, dreaming of re-do(s) on Voting Rights and Citizens United!!!!!!!!! There’s a rumor Clarence THOMAS might QUIT, but on the other hand, he’s never had a softer “job,” although it got harder without tagging onto Fat Tony SCALIA.

8. The future may be more 6-3 (or even 7-2) decisions...

I am not a huge Hillary fan, she has my vote and the party has my support, but this illustrates just how important it is to get a Democrat in the White House for the next 4 years. There is no way we can allow a complete idiot like Trump anywhere NEAR the decisions on who to seat on the court in the coming few years...

Thomas may retire.
Bader-Ginsburg may retire, and I hope her health holds out, as she is amazing already.
Kennedy may retire too.

Scalia's seat remains open.

That's nearly half the court that could be replaced with reliable Progressive votes to pair with Sotomayor and Kagan and produce a 20-30-year, 6-3 progressive leaning court to undo the damage done by the existing court.
