Constitution? We don’t need no steenkin’ constitution!
Imagine the surprise among my neighbors in this all-white town when the 2020 U.S. Census results come out and they learn that theres a black women living here. LOL.
Honestly asking - Is it worth voting for any Republican? They might fuss and fume about this but are they going to introduce legislation that would counter it?
And that’s their goal
Short answer...Yes.
It is a fact of life that you have two choices, (R or (D). If you won’t support (R) then (D) will win.’
The smart thing is to Primary out the RINOS and Primary in the Maverick’s who will follow the Constitution. Don’t give in, TAKE BACK OUR PARTY.

Exactly. Fight or lose. Binary choice.
“are they going to introduce legislation that would counter it?”
It’s even worse than that. They can introduce all the legislation they want, but that can’t overrule a Supreme Court decision. It would take a Constitutional amendment to do that, which isn’t going to happen.
They’ll huff and puff about appointing better justices, just like Trump is huffing and puffing about packing the court, but the decision will stand, the justices won’t get impeached, and nobody is going to change anything. This is a done deal unless there’s a revolution or something.
“If you wont support (R) then (D) will win.”
Yeah, but you forgot to say “If you do support (R), then (D) still wins most of the time, because (R) won’t fight.”
Trump’s tweeting that he will have another ‘list’ that his next nominee will come from.
Just like Gorsuch.
No. I don’t want you making any such list or letting Ivanka and Jared make one for you. Your political appointments are awful.
The institution and much of the judiciary is a disgrace. This isn’t its first hallucinogenic decision. I view SCOTUS as a bunch of self-important jesters. They’ll get any result they want, has nothing to do with so-called “rule of law.”
You misunderstand. For sanctimonious conservatives, any little thing is grounds for not voting for a Republican.
Self righteousness is to many more important than America
Of course it is worth voting Republican! without Republican presidents, we would not have SCOTUS justices like Roberts and Gorsuch. Oh, wait...
Let me ask. What’s NEW here, so get over it!
Just don’t hire dem cause they are unqualified in life and in death.
If Roberts wants to be a legislator so bad, he should resign from the court and run for Congress. His court has been a disgrace. History will not look at him with favor.
Are you sure? The ruling interpreted legislation. Why can't they pass legislation that makes explicit whaty "sex" means? Of course, then that legislation gets "interpreted."
One would think so. That's pretty much what happened with Cruz - he overcame the establishment politician. Has he been vigorously responding to the insurrection? What is he going to do about this SCOTUS decision? The Dems win beause they scream night and day. When are Republicans going to start pressing their case loudly and without ceasing? Some people say that's just words. But, as Jeanne Kirkpatrick one said, that's what politics is.
Not in this case. The Court did not decide any constitutional question; they interpreted the Civil Rights Act of 1964, so Congress could fix it by simply amending that statute. Unlikely the current Congress will do so, however.
