14. Just saying

[Biophilic]

2. Justice for me but not for thee

I truly hate these people who think they deserve something but not someone else. I honestly don't have words for them. I just spit and sputter. Damn I wish I was eloquent when I'm angry, but mostly I'm just discussed and without words for these people.

4. It's that famous Man Woman Marriage clause.

Oh, wait.

5. somewhere in there they bring up a valid question

why did the court establish same sex marriage rights instead of the legislature? Like that's a problem. The supreme court isn't here to establish new rights.

6. But it did in Loving v. Virginia

Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967), was a landmark civil rights decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that laws banning interracial marriage violate the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[1][2] The decision was followed by an increase in interracial marriages in the U.S. and is remembered annually on Loving Day. It has been the subject of several songs and three movies, including the 2016 film Loving. Beginning in 2013, it was cited as precedent in U.S. federal court decisions holding restrictions on same-sex marriage in the United States unconstitutional, including in the 2015 Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges.[3]

13. and often the outcomes have been good

but how we got there just leaves us in peril, right? Roe v Wade might have had the right outcome but why are we so afraid of losing it? Because it was never law.
If the federal government passed some laws founded around interstate commerce regulation about standards under which abortion clinics and pills cant be over-regulated, we wouldn't have as much to fear from a conservative supreme court, right? Once it's law, it could also be overturned but good luck to the candidate in a swing seat that directly votes to overturn when they're not able to hide behind 'I just confirmed a judge that I THOUGHT wouldn't overturn it'.

7. and they used the same reasoning to justify that, that they are using. against gay marriage

Hypocrites

8. 2nd class citizens should pay discounted tax rates

There should be no 2nd class citizens but seems like the only thing that makes sense to Repubs is money.

So, people who feel they are not being treated right should pay only 70% taxes. That will make the Repubs stand up and take notice.

Money is not the root of all evil, it's the Love of money.

9. That has been the plan all along - Roe is just the first domino that needs to fall.

And not even the most important to them. Griswald, and all the decisions that use it as precedent is the real target.

Repealing Roe v Wade is extremely important to these asshats - but their real target in this case is contraception and Gay rights. They need to get rid of Roe in order to to get rid of Griswald:

1965 =>U.S. Supreme Court decision, Griswold v. Connecticut, rolled back state and local laws that had outlawed the use of contraception by married couples.

This decision set the groundwork for these landmark SC rulings:
> Right to birth control for unmarried couples, 1972
> Right to abortion for any woman, 1973
> Right to contraception for juveniles at least 16 years of age, 1977
> Right to homosexual relations, 2003
> Right to same-sex marriage, 2015

These hateful patriarchs want to keep women barefoot, pregnant, in the home under their thumb...and demonize same sex relations.

Sorta like the philosophy of Barrett's splinter cult group.

10. They both need to meet with Trump in the Oval Office

to strategies... like immediately... a 3 or 4 hour meeting.
