    Oh these days never. In 2009 though I think Stevens would’ve swung with Kennedy, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Breyer and may have been able to cuck Roberts into a majority had there been a challenge.

    Which is absolutely why the federalist society waited until they got their court to start their challenges.

      All my adult life I had been saying they would never do it because they need the single issue voters to stay mad. I was shocked.

        They’ve got anti trans bullshit for those people now, and they can still get them frothing about states where abortion is still legal to push for a federal ban.

        The thing with anger is that it’s an easy emotion, so it’s easy to switch it to something else. They’re right on to being mad about trans and woke.
