1. Could?

Anything "could" happen. More useless filling of airtime and bandwidth reporting.

2. I think he made a good point here...

Just my 2 cents

[Sherman A1]

7. He "could" have

But it comes down to nothing more than speculation.

3. I think that could happen. Can we please get some folks into the DNC who can take advantage of

of this please...we need a 50 state strategy ASAP.

10. Jamie Harrison does have a 50 state strategy with boots on the ground door knocking efforts

Gaining steam

The DNC is targeting 22 of the most vulnerable gqp

He’s been a fund raising juggernaut with the DNC out raising the rnc.

Don’t under estimate his abilities

4. I think red states get redder but purple states may get bluer

In what looks to be a post-Roe world (Ick), I’d guess that we’re going to see red states get a whole lot more socially conservative via reactionary legislation, but purple states may see a blue swing with reproductive rights on the line.

11. Agree..NC is going to be one to watch in the midterms

5. Would the equal rights amendment have protected us against this?

[jonstl08]

6. Yep

GOP does not want to outlaw abortion. Been saying this for years. Outlawing abortion was always their main source of revenue for conservative christians to donate to their campaigns. If that goes away then they will have to find a new source. Cannot be ANTI LBGT since most of the population especially younger people support rights for them.

8. Hopefully

this will wind up being the proverbial "dog finally catching the car" situation for Republicans. And that people going sue happy over abortions completely wrecks the anti-choice movement and legislators in Texas.

9. I agree completely

I don't think that senior Republicans care one way or the other except for the fact that it is an issue that cements their base. If they actually cared, it would indicate that they had compassion, morals and ethics (even if misplaced). I have seen none of these characteristics in Republicans since Reagan.

12. The Texas legislation will be seen as a huge win for rightwingers.

It shows them that their party can deliver. It will help them in recruiting fence setters. Most people want to be on the winning team. As far as I am concerned it is an unmitigated disaster even beyond Women's rights issues. The Supreme Court's action through inaction is a barometer, forecasting our coming storm.
