    "Sorry sweaty, but suggesting that The Notorious RBG should retire and allow herself to be replaced cuz she has glass bones, paper skin and is approximately 1 billion years old is problematic." 👏

    I'll be real with you guys: I blame her more than anyone else. This happened because she was too proud and egotistical to know when to quit. If she actually cared about women's rights as much as libs say she did, that's what she would've done.

      "Why do you blame the woman instead of all the men who are actually doing this? Smh." is a take I have seen a dozen times today, I genuinely wish these people got their skull fractured like jesus christ how fucking removed from reality can you get.

      She literally had cancer over and over for 20 years and then decided to officiate weddings during a pandemic holy shit.

        To be fair, even if that was a lib seat Roberts just would have swung his vote and made it 5-4 again. He's trying to appear objective and moderate and conservatives having a 6-3 majority lets him do that.

          Eh, don't agree here. Roberts had the opportunity to shut down a bunch of abortion clinics in Louisiana last year and sided with the liberals 5-4 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_Medical_Services,_LLC_v._Russo). Roberts is a snake, but he has institutionalist brainworms just like some of the liberals.

          For corporate handouts yes, but not as likely for just flat out overturning roe v wade

            just flat out overturning roe v wade

            But they technically haven't in a way that matters to a legal dork like Roberts and that's the justification that he would've leaned on in this hypothetical.

              Well roe v wade was specifically about women having complete medical privacy until at least fetal viability. This is definitely overturning the core part of it, even technically I think

      Its also just a perfect microcosm of the liberal mindset, where personal advancement trumps everything, and the only sin is being denied your seat at the table.

      I give a solid chunk of the blame to all the libs with Notorious RBG mugs and shit who propped her up so high that her ego wouldnt allow her to step down before dying but it's mostly on her.
