    No, that is NOT what the USSC does.

    You need to think about what the job of the USSC actually is.

    I'm not anti-catholic.

    And, you are MAJORLY confused about what the issue is here.

    I accept your denial.

    I am crystal clear on what the issues are. They are clearly and extensively explained in the draft decision.

    The draft decision doesn't even touch on the issues of political influence, division between church and state, stare decisis, etc.

    Ah, the perfect liberal distortion of what I said.

    Do all women lie about rape?

    No.

    Did the women who accused conservative Supreme Court justice nominees of rape lie about it?

    Yes. Their own family and friends said they did.

    There are no real surprises in the leaked draft.

    After the oral arguments it was widely expected that the Court would uphold the Mississippi abortion statute, Alito is one of the Justices voting to uphold the Mississippi statute and that Alito supports overruling Roe and Casey. We don't know that 4 other Justices will join in his opinion overruling Roe and Casey.

    We could easily end up with:
    • a 6-3 decision (Majority; Roberts, Alito, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Thomas, Gorsuch) upholding the MS regulation on mid and late term abortion and
    • a 5-4 decision that the MS regulation does not violate Roe/Casey and therefore that those precedential cases are not overturned (Majority: Roberts, Kavanaugh, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan).
    There is no point in digging deeper prior to having the actual final decision.

    I don't see that as addressing anything I've said on this thread, not does it pertain to the OP.

    And, as per the OP, there is plenty to talk about.

    It's not my responsibility to make sure you address the correct issues. My post works wondrously with the OP, some say that they have seldom seen a better fit.

    There is only so far that one can reasonably go in a weeks old early draft when one knows that they may be on draft 15 or even 20 by this point.

    No. You aren't addressing anything about the OP.

    The OP is about Thomas and his claim that the leak politicized the SC.

    And, I pointed out the HE has politicized the SC in significant ways that are far more serious and direct than his lame claims.

    My post was perfectly consistent with the OP.
    Yes. Justice Thomas makes some great points.
    He does a splendid job applying the facts of the case to the Law and the Constitution and really, isn't that all we want from a Justice?

    Are you saying that the USSC makes laws?

    Sorry, its spot on. Democrats supported slavery. That is a fact.

    An embryo feeds off the womans body. It is not a part of it. It has its own separate DNA distinct from its mothers DNA.

    The vast majority of woman deliver quite healthy babies while being healthy themselves.

    We ALL have a vested interest in making sure other humans are not killed.

    Nonsense. Having experienced multiple coups d'etat I can tell you those clowns had no chance.

    The SC reviews lower court decisions.

    That was before the realignment.

    Accusing Dems for decisions made before the realignment is ridiculous.
    The "vast majority" of outcomes is irrelevant to the healthcare of an individual woman or embryo.

    If the process had successfully been stopped it would have been in the hands of the president.

    And, you know what Trump's views were.

    "Realignment" is a myth. Dems during the period of slavery was all about identity politics. And today they are STILL all about identity politics. All you're doing is using geography to "prove" realignment. "Oh the south were the racist ones! They're the ones that wanted slavery, now today the south is made up of republicans and republicans are racist therefore there was a realignment!" Sorry, doesn't work. People move. Land doesn't. And its a lie that only Republicans have racists in it. So too does the Democratic Party. In any case the Democratic Parties system of belief is still dependent on identity. Has been from its inception up to present day. And the foreseeable future. Individualism only matters to them when there is a bigger issue at play that is based on the whole group/s.

    Exceptions can be (and are) made for the minority. There isn't a single "red state" that has demanded that the life of the woman not be saved even if that means aborting the baby.

    You have a serious history deficit concerning realignment. And, today it IS the Republican party that supports and accepts white supremacy.

    And, please remember that Republicans did write a late term abortion bill that ignored the health of the woman entirely, leaving that as NOT an exception.

    That did not pass USSC review.

    Republican laws have routinely ignored issues of rape and incest as well.

    Not everyone holds your beliefs. Using government to force your beliefs on the personal health care decisions of women is NOT acceptable.

    Nope. The process would have continued in another venue.

    False on both counts.

    One, one that no doubt would have been fixed.

    The child shouldn't be blamed or punished for the fathers ill deeds.

    Hint: EVERYONE uses government to force their beliefs on others. If you find it acceptable to force your beliefs on others via government then why aren't others? Oh right, because you're "good" and others are "evil". :rolleyes:.

    I'm not interested in using government to direct how you take care of your body.

    NOTHING SAYS PROGRESSIVE LIKE USING A WHITE WOMAN AS AN EXCUSE TO GO AFTER A STRONG BLACK MAN: Team Thomas wages war with New York Times over Ginni ‘smear.’

    Fed up with the vicious New York Times attacks on Ginni Thomas, friends are waging war with the paper over the NYT slander "that Ginni Thomas was linked to the Jan. 6 Capitol riots."
    Fake News Slandering Scum.
    My post is fabulous and singularly successful.

    So, it's possible that Ginni IS the leaker then? The rest of your post is wistful propaganda from my perspective.

    It's not my job to fix your faulty perspective.

    The Fake News Ginni Smearing Scum:

    "1/The @NYTimes @DannyHakim can’t stop smearing Ginni Thomas. His May 20 story falsely represents that G. Thomas played “mediating role” in lead up to Jan 6th rally. I have obtained statement from Tea Party Patriots @jennybethm (below) making Hakim’s story even more provably false."

    The fake News Liars of the NYT

    "15/ TPP head @Jennybethm provided this statement: “With respect to the January 6th events, my only involvement was an invitation I received asking me to speak, which ultimately did not happen. Ginni Thomas and I had no conversations about my invitation to the event.”"

    The Lying fake News Liars crap the lies and then the Left Wing parrots spread them on social media. How many times do you think the same lying technique will fool the same folks? Don't you think they should be smart enough to think up some new ones now and then?

    Justice Thomas is RIGHT to stand up to the politicizing of the SC and to declare that he will not be intimidated. And I believe him.

    [​IMG]
    And we all know why the Left Wing Racists hate Ginni being married to Clarence.
