I am more worried about the drift than the lurch
I see many threads about Roe v. Wade and such, but I don't think that will happen - they need it to run on. What I am more worried about is the little under-the radar issues that will get kicked up to the SCOTUS. Horowitz's and Lynn Cheney's organizations that terrorize teachers who don't praise * - those types of McCarthyite tactics will now be legal. School boards will be forced to implmeent Intelligent Design. Little pockets of right-wingers, bank-rolled by Scaife and the like, will get their little pet issues to the SCOTUS and will prevail.

Watch out for the little skirmishes as well as the big battles.

2. Over time, Those little issues are going to load our (privatizing) Prisons

up, under Federal Mandatory Minimum Sentencing Guidelines, with the Di$advantaged, where more Crime Careers will be confirmed and Anarchy and Communism breed amongst the Disenfranchised.

Add, very possibly, an end to abortion for poor mothers and you can see what I mean.

4. Or you can sell yer accidental baby to some rich folk
So long as the kid looks like one of the ones that Chief Justice Roberts bought from "Bolivia" by way of Ireland....

If you're a bit brown or tan, ya might not get much of a price, but those golden haired, blue eyed babies, especially if you aren't ugly yerself, why, they'll fetch a fine price!!!

See, there WILL be jobs and opportunities for ordinary folk under the rightwing regime!! We'll just have to be creative serfs, that's all...!!!!
