Roe Overturned?
-
We’ve known this since orals and we were 98% sure when they granted cert on Dobbs.

Well, I suppose we have riots and pro-lifers getting attacked to look forward to if the nuclear holocaust somehow doesn't happen.

You really think that's all it's gonna be?
I think so. There will be protests until they run out of avocado toast then will go home realizing the protest (like nearly all protests) doesn't change anything.

Avocado toast is a stereotype of millennials, who are about 15 years too old to fit the description of the average protester. You need to update your clichés. Gen Z like poke bowls.
Anyway, DC had the National Guard called in and a curfew imposed after a police incident involving one freaking guy in Minneapolis. You're crazy if you think there will be somehow less turmoil after overturning Roe.

You couldn't be more wrong.
The plural of doofus is doofi.
One common misconception floating around the English language is the notion that all Latin-derived nouns that end in the suffix -us in the singular should end in -i when they are plural. And there is, in fact, a plethora of such -i Latin plurals in English: witness oculus (a word for an oval window or for a circular opening at the top of a dome) and its plural oculi, or the more common alumnus/alumni and stimulus/stimuli.
Words from Latin Without '-i' Plurals
However, there are quite a few Latin nouns that do not have an -i plural even in their original language that have become naturalized in the English language. In Latin, these nouns belong to a group in which the singular and plural were spelled alike. A sampling of such words is prospectus, status, and apparatus. None of those words have an -i plural. In English, the plural of prospectus is Anglicized to prospectuses and that of status to statuses. Apparatus, though, has the regular English plural apparatuses but also retains in some use the Latin plural apparatus.. -

Do not blaspheme avocado toast, infidel. I eat it regularly. And I ain’t no millennial

I wonder if the final decision will quote RBG's criticisms of Roe. I suspect it will.

Actually I admit, I do too. It's really good.

Aqua is probably right. Reddit/DC sentiment is to expect major protests. Again, not sure what they’ll accomplish other than being cathartic for the “losing side”…
Funny how the pro-choice crowd was fine with the ruling in 1974 but now protests when it doesn’t go their way. Meanwhile, pro-life folks have been dealing with being on the losing side for about the last 50 years.
That being said, I think it’s very appropriate for this type of issue to be legislated at the state level. Its a good example of why we have states in the first place.
Also, Amber Heard is like “yessss, I’m no longer trending”.

Not so much as a hint of outrage at the leak from CNN. Of course they realize the leaker was motivated by leftist tribal righteousness, so it’ll be move along, nothing to see here, regarding the leak itself. All the outrage will be over the decision. Pity.
