We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
How does it always end up with both being fault. As if there's no dems fighting against.
Honestly xir that's just stupid.
Right now, no, it isn't realistic.
It likely will be realistic in the future, but the stances of some officeholders preclude it.
80,000 votes in 3 states would've changed 3 Supreme Court seats. We are talking about Roe v. Wade, not whether the election for president is purely democratic.
There weren't 60 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass an abortion bill, and potentially not a majority in the House either. That Congress was filled with conservative/moderate blue dogs. And usually a president's top legislative priority isn't a controversial bill that will inmediately divide the party and die on the vine anyway.
I think you're plugged in enough to know better. But even if Obama discovered a magic word to get Garland on the bench, this would still be a 5-4 decision to kill Roe
Obergefell and Lawrence
Not just gay marriage. They want to making gay sex illegal.
I'm so upset, and angry.
People who keep saying the overturning was 6-3 are inaccurate. The vote for the full overturning was 5-4 with Roberts joining the liberals. It was 6-3 in favor of the Mississippi 15 week ban with Roberts joining the other conservatives, which is still the shits, but he did so because he felt there was some compromise. Not saying that as a good or bad thing but for the sake of accuracy
FUCKING HELL!!!! What a shit fucking thing to wake up to!!!!
2016 will go down as in of the most consequential elections and modern history…and people just fucking sat home or voted 3rd party. Fucking horrible that now women are seemingly nothing but baby incubator…so fucking torn by this fuck all of this!!!

Stop this shit. She won the popular vote. More Bernie voters swung over to her than her supporters swung over to Obama in 2008. It's time to stop relitigating 2016 for the millionth time and focus on today.
It only becomes more and more apparent that no viable path to the future can exist as long as certain people continue to hold any influence in the country. They can either be stopped, or have their dystopia become more and more of a reality.
Ehh, one party has been dedicated to poisoning everyone to be against each other.
The Dems have LOTS of issues, and in any other country would be the worst party there. But lets not forget the GOP has been the party of hatred for votes since the 1970's and their 'Southern Strategy'.
Its why I hate the Dem & far left critiques which trust me are well deserving, but also whitewash the GOP being the supposedly right wing which doesn't cover it, supposedly conservative which doesnt cover it, but the 2022 Nazi party, full stop.
All the 'anti regulation, small gov, etc' excuses have been off the table for years, its just a bigot death cult. But hey, considering how we were still dealing with basic civil rights issues like gay marriage a decade ago, maybe that's just America and we've been fooling ourselves as a coping mechanism.
"...a Supreme Court case decided in 2014, National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning, et. al., makes clear that President Obama does not have the constitutional authority to recess appoint Garland in the face of determined Senate opposition."
Supreme Court rebukes Obama on recess appointments - The Washington Post
I'm just saying. Obama had a chance to enshrine Roe or appoint Garland. He did neither and is now musing over it.

Why, they are reaping what they sow.
Fuck that country, go somewhere more civilized.
1. Not being a thing anyone is even sure he can do
2. The Senate never actually going into recess
Let me rephrase, when did he have the NUMERICAL chance. I honestly don't remember if Obama had votes to clear both the House and the Senate at any time during his Presidency. Because there is a big difference between controlling the House and the Senate and having the votes in both.
We can see right now just barely having control of the Senate does help much when you need 60 for most votes.
"The authority to regulate abortion is returned to the PEOPLE"
So their argument is that somehow they are returning the right to the people but then not letting individual people decide whether or not they are okay with abortion?

The only hope LGBT people have is Roberts being concerned about his legacy and Gorusch following a strange pattern of not being totally trashy on lgbt stuff.
So probably fucked.
Because it's probably 5-4 with Roberts and Gorsuch flipping sides from this vote at best
Maybe Roberts will protect Lawrence maybe.

Let's be real: the rest of the world doesn't want Americans any more than most Americans want to live in this Christofascist hellhole.
Without an in demand job or a lot of money, pretty difficult. You're going to be better off going somewhere like Australia or New Zealand. They aren't necessarily easier to migrate to, but they tend to have more low end jobs for exphats that can get you in the door. Or at least that was true at one point. It may be different now
Me too. This is beyond the pale. Shit is sickening. They encroach on states rights for guns but fuck women who dare to have rights over their bodies
How many more shitty things are Republicans going to do before assassination attempts start? Honestly wouldn't be surprised if we're close to that breaking point.
what the fuck does this have to do with the rights of my wife and daughter being taken away? reported.
This fucking country. Welcome to our Illiberal Democracy. Ruled by a neo-fascist theocratic kleptocracy. This is a bad day for this country, and a "canary screeching in the coal mine" moment for our immediate future.
Productive? What, exactly, are you accomplishing here?
No, it was not.
You're right, neither party cares about you and ultimately care most about getting themselves elected.
But they're not equally evil. As long as our options are "incompetent, but occasionally good" and "focused evil" of fucking course we should vote for the occasionally good.
Jesus Christ it's so obvious I don't know how people don't get it.
Roberts upheld the law in the case. It is unclear if 1 seat flipped he'd just overturn a recent decision.
It's generally pretty difficult to move to most countries if you don't have a specific pathway in mind and available to you (e.g. having an in-demand skill/qualification, getting placed with a something like a TEFL programme, getting sent abroad by an employer, just being straight-up rich).
Productive you say?
What tangible results has it produced? What has tearing down Democrats *achieved* for leftist causes?
SCOTUS is clearly unbalanced. Lifetime appointments, partisan (something the founders missed. Opps!), and judicial review was never meant to be this powerful.
It basically acts as a proxy for a very limited set of interests.
People were protesting outside the homes of some of the Supreme Court Justices in the past.
