Spare me the poutrage, Republicans

Your SCOTUS picks are about to take away the rights of millions of American women, which will render them second-class, unequal citizens, stripped of the freedom to have dominion over their own bodies.

So spare me the faux outrage about "leaks" and the Supreme Court's privacy being breached, given that they plan to insert themselves into the privacy of women across the country.

Just know this: No matter what shit you pull, no matter how loudly you scream about those damned Democrats and their alleged dastardly deeds, no matter how hard you try to distract the citizenry from the real issue at hand - the fact remains that members of YOUR party attempted to overthrow the US government, and are about to be exposed for doing so in vivid detail.

Face it - there's no place to run, no place to hide. And given that the majority of voters support Roe v Wade remaining in place, overturning it is political suicide - and watching you put that gun to your own head is beyond satisfying.

So g'head - pull the trigger.

Public hearings are right on their heels and November is coming fast. They will not be able to hide from the evil they have done and are far to cowardly to own up to it.

If they were, they would be picketing fertility clinics and passing laws declaring that throwing out fertilized eggs as medical waste is murder.

Has that ever happened?

so that in June the attention will be on abortion and not on the January 6th insurrection.

9. If anybody leaked it, it was Alito through one of his clerks

because you know that man is exactly arrogant enough to think his august opinion enslaving women to fetuses, to men, to the state will stand forever, until the last human has drawn his (and it will be his) last breath and the planet moves on.

I think it was a trial balloon to a right of center website to see just hoe much praise would roll his way. Buried in laurels, he would be secure in the knowledge that all the other USSC members would follow meekly behind.

What none these goons expected was the extent of the backlash. They also didn't realize that we'd know their fake outrage over some alleged leftist leaker is just that, the person who delivered it was one of their own and s/he did it with their approval.

I'm sure they're all shocked, the helpless squeaking about "the leak, the leak, it's the leak!" is the giveaway to that, desperately trying to change the conversation.

that we don't need to be concerned about the filibuster after the midterms,
we'll control the Senate and not need any of their votes.
