    Yea, democrats stole the court fair and square first. Decisions went our way for 60 years. It's our birthright. Anything else is cheating!

    Well they said settled law and that sounds like lawyer terms. So probably doesn't mean what you think it means.

    Nothing like federal theft, huh? Federal government has been stealing from me for decades. I suppose some payback could be indicated.

    One adds freedom while the other removes it.

    Can you express in words why couples should be denied the ability to sign a civil contract due to the sex of the participants? Because you hate them isn’t a viable reason.

    You don't want to do anything Republicans will just add more and take it back. What Democrats need to do is focus on legislation.

    Those idiots had both the house in the Senate 11 sessions. That's 22 years that they could have passed some sort of legislation on abortion. But they didn't.

    You can't use the court to legislate and this should be a painful lesson for Democrats.

    Republicans wanted what? Fill empty seats in the supreme court?

    You're just mad because you didn't get your way.

    Would you have been upset had democrats sat on trumps appointments for a year, took the next election with a minority of votes and then rushed one through weeks before they were removed from office.

    Be honest
    Can you understand why people are upset about this

    I don’t know what part you are having issues understanding. It is a fairly simple question

    I'm sure what you said meant something. I just didn't follow.

    But sure what your asking? Would I be upset if they ruled against something I enjoyed as a right? Yeah but if also understand that court rulings don't garantee rights.

    Is that what you were asking?

    No, I am asking if you would be ok how these judges were selected and placed on the court by not allowing a hearing and then rushing one through right before they were ejected from office.

    If the democrats had done this would you be cheering it?

    There were hearings. I remember a fiasco involving kavanaugh. And I remember gorsuch.
    I didn't complain when Obama pointed kegan or that incompetent moron Sotomayor I didn't complain when Biden appointed whatever her name is that he appointed.

    That's their job and I'm not sure what's so bad about it

    Then amend the constitution to define abortion as a civil right. Until that happens, its state jurisdiction. And not just for abortion. Thats how its supposed to work for everything. By using the courts to interpret rights out of existing laws, all it takes is a re-interpretation to undermine them again. Rights are supposed to be amended into the constitution in part to prevent exactly this from happening.
