Interesting that no one in the GOP is blaming Alito and his over the top

abortion position.

I know that they know that this is one of the main issues that brought out the young vote. But it's interesting how they might blame Trump for poor candidates and his extreme positions, and Trump blames his wife, but none of them are really reading the cards the correct way. Because, if they do, they have to know that the Federalist Society's anti-abortion objective put them on track to self-destruction.

Another case where Icarus flew too close to the sun; another example of karmic payback...call it what you will, certainly they have to know that their attempt to rig the system backfired immensely.

1. The hubris of the GOP is boundless.

9. They still plan to keep abortion banned, and go after contraception and gay marriage.

They don't care what people want.

2. I guess Roberts and McConnell can cry in each other's beer.

Both have to know that they sunk the party on this and their embrace of Trump despite multiple opportunities to legally and effectively sink him.

3. A lot of blame for the GOP to go around. Roe being one of them for their losses.

In many states as well as Nationally.

4. I have a Republican (never-Trump) acquaintance who's relatvely sanguine about it

He told me that if two years ago you had offered the Dobbs decision plus control of the House and a weakened Trump, he'd have taken that deal in an instant.

He seemed a little disappointed that the red wave never materialized but overall not the despondency I expected.

5. It's easier to blame trump.

That way everybody else can keep doing what they are doing.

Nazi-ism didn't die with Hitler.

6. Yep. More Alito "stand up" routines please!

[Buckeyeblue]

7. I bet they do...but they aren't going to say it out loud

That ruling is still their base. They can't backtrack from that.

8. That's exactly right.

It might cause more of them to say they are pro-choice in some parts of the country, over time.

10. Ending Roe is literally in their Party platform

Why would they blame him for something that they always wanted?

[hatrack]

11. But that would "politicize" SCOTUS, and we can't have that, can we???

12. Excellent point!

And the Republicans are clueless, but I'm sure this point hasn't escaped the Democrats, particularly Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer!

13. K&R

14. K&R, MAGA will double down on the stupid. They haven't learned yet especially TFGs base

15. Then maybe we should thank him for it, "Thanks Alito"

16. There was talk about taking up a collection to buy a fruit basket to gift him.
