As long as it promotes their views. Otherwise, it's athema.

I find it interesting that the Judges’ privacy is being violated by people over a twisted perversion of a definition of privacy…

[LuFins Dad]

What I don’t get is why? Okay, the court made it’s decision and you are pissed. Harassing them at this point accomplishes nothing. The next move is harassing legislators, both state and federal. Harassment and intimidation of the judiciary accomplishes nothing except wasting your time.

[Jolly]

Pssst!

They're not that smart...

[George K]

Hay @Catseye3 ! Your AOC post of the day!

Oh, and by the way, Rep Ocasio-Cortez, having taken care of dozens of ectopic pregnancies, I can assure you that the only place where treating an ectopic pregnancy considered an "abortion" is in your mind.

There should be an automatic function on the internet that when she says something, it is automatically deleted.

And the protesters, something should happen to them. It is really bad of them to do that.

While @Jolly , @George-K and I may disagree with the Supreme Court decision, we should respect it.

I really haven't expressed my opinion on the Court's decision, have I?

[Jolly]

No, you haven't.

Actually, let me rephrase that.

I think, as a matter of law, the Court's decision is correct. As a video about it I posted earlier explains, if not enumerated in the Constitution, "rights" are such only in the context of other rights (free speech, eg) and in the context of historical precedent.

So, to rephrase, I haven't expressed my opinion on abortion - and I won't.

The social discussion is entirely about abortion and not about the legal theory. All the way down to the imputed motivations of the justices, that's the discussion. The justices who overturned Roe are rabid pro-lifers, just ask all the breathless high status intellectuals engaging in public discussion on this topic. I mean literally breathless sometimes, you should hear Ezra Klein and his discussion partners on the subject. Ezra is legit terrified. I'll go through my life without being as scared of politicians and political movements as these people are, as a matter of course in their lives. On some level I think they enjoy it. They get to be part of the dominant, winning culture, while play-acting as if they live lives of courageous defiance in the face of oppressive evil encroaching from every side. Jon Stewart sounds exactly like that, too.

Nice.

Any particular reason? Just curious. My shorthand is, "I'm not necessarily against it," but for me there's a lot more to it.

In Washington?

What's the matter with him, is he honest?
