Btw is that true that the US SC can literally strike down any law? They just also hit even the placeholder green law imitation and dems are screaming they can’t do anything about it?

The Supreme court is supreme. Congress can pass statutes which contradict the supreme court rulings, but the supreme court could rule against the statute
Well i always wondered why they even keep that bizarre medieval law system. Probably bacause of that, and of course to turn it into the arcane knowledge held by the literal lawyer caste in the service of the ruling class. Fun fact: i believe groups holding the power which operate on this base, were traditionally called “mandarins” in a derogative sense by the western media since XIX century.
How can even libs call this “democracy”, especially happening en masse right before their eyes, is beyond me.

Constitutional amendments have to be ratified by 2/3 of the states. The ruling class is too polarized to get this done for either party.

In this case, Congress will have to pass a law banning abortion nationwide. The role of the supremes will be to uphold this Republican edict, not create it.
They will wait till 2024 since if i get the news right, republicans will probably win both congress and president, not to mention current administration is so unhinged that a lot of shit will probably hit the fan in the meantime.
I’m not sure if even the Republicans are dumb enough to pass this kind of law. The country would collapse, and this would not materially benefit the ruling class.
I mean they finally took the dems not codifying it into the law as invitation, and overturning WvR now is a trial run. Dems seems to capitlulate, i think they are even glad, they are rich enough that the abortion ban won’t ever touch them personally, and it is excellent ammo for election, and i also don’t see any rioting nor any other loud action from anywhere else. This is giving republicans a sign - do what you want, nothing will collapse except perhaps some reddit subs.
Part of the problem they create when they win is that they have to invent a new culture war narrative. Republicans don’t really want to win on this issue in the same way that democrats never wanted to codify Roe.
That being said, the GOP is off the rails and has swung so far right that I don’t believe they can stop themselves from making this mistake.
If there’s any doubt we’re heading for a massive flashpoint that might lead to civil war, there are people in this country who not only think that removing rights from millions of people isn’t a big deal but they’ll get on Reddit and complain about hearing other people be mad about it.
That’s one of the things that makes abortion such a powerful wedge issue. They are attacking rights when banning abortion. But abortion isn’t a right. Unlimited access to elective surgery without regard to medical ethics isn’t a right. Not only that, but pro-abortion arguments by the libs typically enhance further subjugation of women by reinforcing the idea that having a child limits a woman’s choices fundamentally and necessarily and that notion is itself an affront to women’s autonomy. So you see, both sides of the political abortion issue are inherently about subjugation of women. They just differ on how to go about it.
What do the colors signify? I understand that “blue state” means a state with a “”“Democrat”“” majority, but not the rest
It’s a “political compass meme”. More or less: Blue is Conservative (right-authoritarian), Yellow is AnCap/Libertarian (right-libertarian), Green is Anarchists or AnComs (left-libertarian) but functionally tends to be about radlibs, and the upper-left (left-authoritarian) is Red and denotes Communism/Socialism but is most often directed at internet MLs and internet Nazbols while being fairly ignorant of other sects of Marxism.
The propenents of political compass theory tend to see revolutionary ideologies as being on a ‘spectrum’ with establishment ideologies rather than being in their own category, so they always tend to platform the sorts of leftists who’ve been rehabilitated by state propaganda.
thank ye
Blue state signifies democrat, which in no way means you’re safe from reactionary politics. The NYPD and the LAPD exist in blue states. California (a blue state) passed a ban on gay marriage 12 short years ago. The rich Christian Right will be bankrolling abortion ban ballot initiatives every election from now until they win.
Sure man, everyone knows that each state is ideologically homogenous
I wonder how many people will start straight up fleeing red states because of these actions? Hopefully a lot. The huge influx of voters out of red states would immediately cause swing states to be near permanently blue and blue states to stay as is. Plus it would also reduce the presence of red states in congress which would mean they are basically burning the candle at both ends. Gonna be funny if it plays out like this as dems will have an effective one party state and still pretend to be powerless. Or best case they go Singapore style.
