Those of you who believe Roe won't be overturned by a Supreme Court with five conservative justices are being way too optimistic. Your only hope is Roberts. He might side with the liberals for the sake of precedent, but I wouldn't bet on it and here's why: one of the things Constitutional law professors focus on when lecturing about Roe is that it is an example of an incredibly poorly reasoned decision, the argument being that Justice Blackmun and the majority bent over backwards in their reading of the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment to give Constitutional cover for women seeking to terminate a pregnancy. Those on the right will go further and argue that the very right to privacy which underpins the decision was made up out of whole cloth. Because it is widely regarded as such a poorly reasoned legal decision, it is extremely vulnerable and always has been, 7-2 vote notwithstanding.
I hope that John Roberts is enough of a traditionalist to keep a 50 year precedent in place. If not, Roe v. Wade will be overturned and the issue will return to the states.
Correct.

Yep, same here. But for some abortion is the key issue.
The people I know who vote on this single issue truly believe they will go to hell if they vote any other way.

Maybe a stricter constructionist SCOTUS will eventually get more people to vote for Dems who will pass laws relating to the protections they take for granted because of the courts. Trump is packing the lower courts with conservatives right now anyway.
Also - keeping his seat open and delaying the vote will just get more R's to the polls in November IMO. That is how Trump won.

I realize that this is just fun speculation, but you guys need to differentiate between who you want as potus and who has an actual chance of beating trump.Â
Correct.

Warren, Bernie, Gabbard, etc will not win a General Election.
I like Biden against Trump in terms of odds. Could take some of Trump's older white male base. Would rather have someone else but I am thinking practical here.

By the way those are both great candidates. I am not trying to be negative at all. Just preparing myself.
Maybe one of the Castros. We seems to have a history of electing presidents who make up for the previous president's wrongs.

Yeah but I'd prefer he stay in the Senate (if he wins) so Greg Abbott can't replace him with an R.

While I think it's hilarious she was thrown out of a place in Kentucky where she thought she was safe, I also agree we can't make a habit of this lest the Trumpians feel persecuted and motivated to vote.

Yeah. That will get racial really fast. Forget sexist. I feel like we are just getting warmed up to the crazy that is coming.

Who will get to run against this incumbent wannabe dictator who has smashed all political norms (and more)?

Women are becoming more politically active.

Beto has been to Georgetown twice in the last few weeks.

I told myself that shaggy's end was a sign for me to make a clean break.
Then 10 minutes later I signed up here. Lost my avatar, but that is probably for the best since he's in trouble now.
What happens if Roe v. Wade is reversed?
