1. I'm afraid so...I would like to know how that sits with the constitution.

Roman catholic judges dictating against separation of church and state!

2. SCOTUS would not take the case if they were going to uphold it

[SoonerPride]

3. Of course they will overturn Roe

This was what Hillary warned us would happen.

But her emails.

4. We must be ready for whatever happens, of course.

But I would be very surprised if the court completely threw out Roe v Wade.

I rather expect that they would continue to nibble away at it. It's a very potent issue to get the right-wing voters to the polls and if it's completely overturned, that would make it less important to keep those voters riled up.

We shall see.

5. Overturn women's constitutional right to choose . . ....

I'm assuming they will not. Here's hoping I am right.

6. I hope you are right as well

But I think it will be 5-4 to overturn Roe. Roberts will vote with the three - just so he can pretend to be a moderate guy. He will let the other ones do the heavy lifting for him.

Then Clarence and Amy will whine again about everybody saying that SCOTUS is too political.

7. I think they'll duck, and make a "narrow" ruling

It will say what they really want to say, but only apply to one or two narrow circumstances, so the lying right wing can say they let standing law stand. They are boiling the frog slowly, not killing him immediately by dumping him in water already at boiling temperature. If they do that, Biden will start on packing the Court the next day, and they know it. Even if he isn't successful, their stature would be diminished forever in this nation, and they know it.

8. "If they do that, Biden will start on packing the Court the next day"

He can't, he has no power to do it without 60 Senate votes that we don't have.

[SoonerPride]

10. I wish he would pack the court

But it won’t happen

[BlueLucy]

9. They want to make big changes to our nation

That's why they're out gaslighting us about not being political. They're practicing their excuses.
