That was how we got here.
Hillary haters and Bernie Bros
Sorry...but no.That's clearly wrong. A 5-4 decision doesn't have the same legitimacy as 9-0.
When unanimous decisions are handed down, it makes a strong political statement.
No different from a presidential election where someone wins 270 to 268 compared to 355 to 3
Does that make sense?
Yes.
Wyoming with THIRTY NINE MILLION less people than California has the same influence over the Supreme Court
I know.
You don't agree? I thought that was a pretty well reasoned OP.I wish you the best of luck in your crusade.
Here's who's to blame for overturning of Roe...
You could apply that of every American territory. From Vermont to Hawaii.DC is a Constitutionally mandated District that has no representation in Congress by design.
It is the seat of the US government and every single person that lives there knew that when they chose to make DC their home.
DC should never be a state.

The dems are to blame. they had the chance in 2009-2010 with large majorities in both houses to solidify R v Wade. BO said in 2007 he would sign such a law. And just before ruling came out this year the senate voted not to because the dems proposal was to legalize abortion up to the ninth month. If they would have scaled that back some GOP votes might have come to their side. But because Thief in Chief Biden is a dim bulb of a total screw up the dems did the up 9 months crap knowing it would not pass so they could have an issue they think might help them this November.It's not Trump.
Trump gets the credit...he nominated the majority that overturned Roe v Wade... that's his legacy...but the blame from the point of view of the Democrats should lie elsewhere.
Mitch McConnell should get a little.
He didn't change the rules though. He simply made choices unpopular with Democrats within his power by refusing to confirm Merrick Garland.
He also removed the filibuster on Supreme Court Justices confirmations in retaliation for an earlier Democratic Filibuster rule change.
How Mitch McConnell playing 'long game' shaped the Supreme Court and led to the end of abortion landmark Roe
Decisions made by then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were key to a chain of events that resulted in the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.www.foxnews.com
But that's not the person that's really to blame.
Enter Democrat Majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada...the person who initially nuked the filibuster for a considerably short term gain of a few federal judgeships...
Much of the blame falls here.
You should read this one...Harry Reid's interview where he states he has laid the groundwork for Democrats to nuke the Filibuster for Supreme Court nominations if Hillary is Elected President.
Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said he is confident that he has laid the groundwork for Democrats to nuke the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees if they win back the Senate in November.Envisioning Hillary Clinton in the White House and Democrats controlling the Senate, Reid warned that if a Senate Republican minority block her Supreme Court nominee, he is confident the party won’t hesitate to change the filibuster rules again.
Harry Reid – Nuclear Option proliferator
If Hillary wins, and Dems retake the Senate, expect Dems to use the Nuclear Option for a Supreme Court nomineelegalinsurrection.com
Next...Hillary Clinton. She knew what was on the line...and proceeded to run one of the most ill conceived Presidential campaigns in recent memory, capped with a loss to a challenger with no campaign experience, no political experience and... according to the polling...no chance of winning.
A chunk of blame goes here.
__________
And last but not least...former President Obama.
The leader of the party who without doubt put his personal seal of approval on the fateful decision to send Harry Reid to the floor of the Senate to nuke the filibuster and show those Republicans who is boss.
He believed Hillary was a shoe in for 2016 and there was a good chance Democrats would take the Senate...but mostly I think it was ego, hubris, and short-sighted strategy that contributed to one of the all-time political backfires in US history.
President Obama applauded Senate Democrats Thursday for changing the rules on filibusters, saying too many of his nominees and initiatives have been blocked by Republicans for strictly partisan reasons.<Snip>The change does not affect nominees for the Supreme Court. Nor does it apply to legislation, though Obama suggested he wouldn't mind seeing that change as well.

So...there you go...when you are sitting alone at home fuming over the fate of Roe...these should be the targets of your animosity.
He'll grow on ya...It's NOT going to work. No matter WHAT you say, you're just not going to get me to like the Turtle.
No...I couldn't.You could apply that of every American territory. From Vermont to Hawaii.
Why do you care?You don't agree? I thought that was a pretty well reasoned OP.
Which part do you take issues with?
Because we are on a message board and that is it's purpose.Why do you care?
Wow. That's some seriously twisted illogic to justify McConnell's blatant hypocrisy!Republicans controlled the Senate.
Had Democrats controlled the Senate in 2015, they could have confirmed Garland.
If Hillary had won in 2016, they would have confirmed a moderate Hillary pick.
Had Democrats won control of the Senate in 2018...they would have been able to hold off the confirmation just like Mcconnell did.
No hypocrisy at all.
The Founders didn't believe that there should be political parties. They would be appalled by the hyper partisan Supreme Court we now haveThe Founders intended large and small states to have the same representation in the Senate.
There are lower courts that make laws. Progs have infiltrated this with extremists. All of the Progs on the Supreme Court will vote purely liberal world order near 100 per cent of the time.The Founders didn't believe that there should be political parties.
