Women will die, gay folks will lose their marriage rights and POC will be

[Eliot Rosewater]

prevented from voting and discriminated against along with women and gay folks.

Everything you know about America will change, everything.

Legally you/we cant do anything about it, the BEST we can hope for is no constitutional convention at which point it all becomes federal law.

Birth control, illegal. Balanced budget amendment, ends Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security overnight.

These are on the agenda.

[katmondoo]

1. If this happens I will have to commit suicide

I will not be a burden on my family

[Fullduplexxx]

3. Dont do that we need your vote

[brooklynite]

2. "The Sky is Falling!"

[LanternWaste]

6. Riiiight. It's all smooth sailing for name-droppers.

Who are compelled to trivialize and minimize actual concerns. But I'm quite certain you'll allege none of that applies to you. Somehow.

[brooklynite]

7. No, I'm only minimizing "every civil right we've ever had will be taken away" assertions

Everything you know about America will change, everything.

It's worth noting that none of the name's I've "dropped" share your absolutist concern.

There's plenty to object to about Kavanaugh. We don't have to invent more.

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. People with HUGE bank accounts arent going to be as worried.

Sky is falling is what they said when I pointed out rump was a traitor 3 years ago

[brooklynite]

9. C'mon, you come up with a better ad hominem attack than that...

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. oops

Oops, I used the "W" word, better self delete

[brooklynite]

12. None of the doomsday predictions in the OP have anything to do with money.

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. Are you kidding LOLOLOL

READ it again

MONEY fixes ALL of those problems...

abortion - if you have money, you fly to another country or hire the best illegal doctors
gay marriage - move to a state where you can legally marry or country for that matter, if you are wealthy

and do I have to explain what MONEY has to do with Medicare, Medicaid and SS?

The idea that you would even DOUBT that any of this will not come to pass, well I wont finish that statement

[First Speaker]

15. If you don't think that "doomsday" is upon us, I honestly don't know what to say to you...

...liberal democracy is sitting on a razor's edge. How on earth can anyone *not* see this...?

[Hortensis]

4. EVERY person and right is in danger.

Let's recognize an authoritarian who believes that individuals have far too many rights, that government needs to be able to control us, and that business needs to function without our interference. It screams.

To Kavanaugh, the government doesn't only not need to inform a legally mentally disabled woman before taking her for forced abortion, in many cases her family doesn't need to be informed either.

The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and net neutrality are unconstitutional? Then so's Social Security.

A president need not execute a law HE considers unconstitutional?

That's just a small part of it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. ALL of it goes if they get the convention, but without it they still get most of it.

Some folks dont understand how much of their day and life is because of liberal policy.

Almost all of it.

[Hortensis]

16. Exactly. Recent propaganda taught most that liberal is a bad word.

Even on the left most fell to that pernicious deceit, to the point that liberalism, humanism, and equality are not treasured, even though they define the world ALL Americans grew up in and ALL see as American. We felt sorry for people who were born into countries those principles hadn't come to yet. And here we are, on the verge of becoming them if we don't stop it.

[workinclasszero]

5. Yes...but...

Supreme court justices are subject to impeachment I believe.

Kavanaugh has already been caught in lies and a cover up of facts all ready, I'm willing to bet those are impeachable offenses.

The next democratic Congress needs to deal with this packed Trump SCOTUS especially since the damn GOP stole Obama's pick in the first place then put Gorsuch and now the liar and right wing tool Kavanaugh on the bench!

Or we can sit by and wring our hands as the Putin/Koch bros bought and paid for SCOTUS destroys democracy and the will of the people in this country!

[Eliot Rosewater]

11. The point is this is happening, notice I didnt put in my usual "but she gave a speech once"

to pick on the you know who's, because why bother anymore, it is happening.

Can we fix it with an impeachment? Maybe, but I doubt that will happen.

The point is to be prepared, if you have family or friends who are women, gay, POC, Muslim and live in a red state, start NOW to figure out how to get them out of there, etc.
