[Pio1980]

One step closer to an unaccountable theocracy facitilitated by ideological court stuffing with activist judges breaking presidents for an extremist Christian agenda.

I specifically wanted to know whether anybody thought the SCOTUS decision today might give a back-handed boost to the Dems in the mid-terms or are they still screwed?

If the Dems are smart they'll play this to their advantage. The time for playing nice and fair is over.

Being the political arm of the GOP that they are they'll lay low on that until after the election. If the Dems are smart they'll capitalize on C. Thomas letting the cat out of the bag by signaling his intent to go after those after the Roe v. Wade ruling. The Repubs are responsible for the corrupted SC and they should be made to pay for that at the ballot box

My take is that this will really play into the GOP's hands come November. Let's see which one of us called it best. It's only a few months away.

Inflation/recession is where it's at.

Yep. The dirty little secret is that although everyone has an opinion on Roe, it's a low priority regarding voting. And now that abortion is turned over to the states, the states are going to vote the way they were going to vote based on the other stuff that actually impacts all of us directly. And in the places of hotbed abortion support, they are "democrat only" districts anyway. That's why people like Pelosi and AOC are where they are.

Nothing extremist about it, and it is not just Christians.

And back at ya.
