Everyone's acting like they're blind sided by this but I could swear I read something on here back in December/January that they were planning to do this in June.

    The Supreme Court, and the vast majority of judicial supreme bodies, are typically conservative forces in a government. The relatively progressive Warren court and its vestiges were an aberration from the norm. It’s not too difficult to predict that this governmental body would trend back towards the status quo of “stuffy council filled with ancient legal wizards who destroy smallfolk lives from their tower”

    lots of people were fearing this, to the point where several "no, RvW won't be overturned" bullshit articles got penned.

    It's weird that people are acting surprised. It's been clear this was going to happen since Ginsburg ate shit. The only question was when a case would work its way through the courts.

    Yeah there was a specific case that we knew was going to be coming in front of the Supreme Court. I guess it's whatever the current case is?
