At what point do people start protesting?

Also, in what world is ‘modify’ not an equivalent word to ‘transform’? The literal DEFINITION is “verb. [‘ˈmɑːdəˌfaɪ’] cause to change; make different; cause a transformation.”

Remember “If Roe falls, we riot!” slogans, and then when it happened, there seemed to be a collective “meh” from mainstream liberals?

The fucking Biden admin and Congress had a solid month from the leak of that decision, and a trifecta, to pass legislation to ensure reproductive rights. And they sat on their fucking hands and let it be struck down.

To be fair, in the aftermath of summer 2020, many states made it super easy to charge protesters as domestic terrorists (see what’s happening in Georgia, e.g.).

I honestly don’t know what it’s going to take at this point. Conservatives are waging a fascist takeover of states, courts, and federal agencies. And Dems in Congress are fucking sleepwalking, letting it happen.

I hate the supreme court. I hate this country. I hate conservatives, and if you’re about to type a response to me telling me I’m wrong to feel this way like a sniveling little bitch, then I hate you too.

Conservatives long game ploy to usurp the Federal courts and then SCOTUS was a political master stroke. What a shame for the rest of us.

Wait, so skimming through the brief, they argue that the law suits had no standing, were not valid for even consideration, but still put an injunction on the act anyway? What the fuck, how is that not blatant political bias?
