Absolutely this. This is now a major part of her legacy. Congrats RBG.The blame lies solely with 1 person.. R B G!
She coulda retired with Obama but she wanted milestones. Now she's got one!
To be honest I have a feeling Obergefell will be next to go and if anyone thinks the dems can stop that from happening is dreaming..
The elections are already fixed for 2022 and for the next century in the state courthouses thanks to the big lie.
We will be a 1 party state soon. Biden is the last whimper of the opposition to Trumpism.
Enjoy it while it lasts!
Not really. Americans could have easily defeated Trump and Republicans if they turned out to vote, but many young people for whom this issue actually matters couldn't be bothered to vote. If your political strategy revolves around candidates being exciting and perfect, or justices resigning at right times, you are offloading responsibility from the people as electorate to individual politicians and chance, and you are going to lose.Absolutely this. This is now a major part of her legacy. Congrats RBG.
Elections have consequences. Feckless Democrat base. Disgusts me.I recall most young women not being bothered to turn out in 2016 because Clinton was not exciting (or perfect) enough for them. Well how's this for excitement?
List them.Abortion will still be legal in many, many states.

Maybe young women will finally decide to vote to at least keep their rights at state levels and maybe get a chance to appoint new justices or pack the courts. But I am not optimistic. They think magical politicians will take care of them, even if they don't bother turning out to win majorities.Elections have consequences. Feckless Democrat base. Disgusts me.
A cynical part of me would think it could be someone leaking the worst possible opinion so they can look "moderate" when they have an opinion that only takes a bite out of abortion rights instead of gobbling the whole pie.From what I’ve read, the severity of this leak is unprecedented. Who’s the leaker?
SCOTUS is a joke now anyway, the Robert's court? Lol. The absolute dismantling of arguably our most precious institution.
Look, I agree she should have been more strategic in her retirement, and she regretted it before death. But if you are betting on a single person staying healthy and doing politically smart thing, you are offloading responsibility. In a society with a responsible electorate that focused on issues at play more than who they'd like to have a beer with, neither Trump nor Bush would have been elected.Of course Trump is a dramatically larger issue, and yes, as I responded to your other comment the feckless Democrat base is probably most to blame, but RBGs legacy for me will remain largely about giving up a seat to activist right wingers for what.. Pride? Conviction?
To be fair it's now the Thomas court in all but name.SCOTUS is a joke now anyway, the Robert's court? Lol. The absolute dismantling of arguably our most precious institution.
Roberts is the designated "good cop." Don't fall for it. He's only doing it because he's the 6th vote, to preserve so called credibility of so called court. If he was decisive vote, he'd vote to dismantle Roe too.
And on cue... From Roberts...A cynical part of me would think it could be someone leaking the worst possible opinion so they can look "moderate" when they have an opinion that only takes a bite out of abortion rights instead of gobbling the whole pie.

Sure, but it doesn't help the situation. Electorate should learn the lesson that they fvcked up and only they can fix it, not shift blame to RGB and continue on wishful thinking and not voting.I absolutely agree with, wholeheartedly, just expressing my view of the RBGs tarnished legacy.
