I think a lot of the freaking out over the SCOTUS is overdone a bit

Nevertheless it's a useful recruiting tactic so I find myself spreading it around a lot.

americans dont do the whole "revolution" thing. at least, not true patriots. only antifa does that, which as you know, are too busy burning down the suburbs and rural areas because Joe Biden????? look just believe me.

I promise you it is not.
I'm speaking towards the stuff like the OP where like "the US is going to regress to the 1800s" or "the court will be 6-3 for the next 40 years"

don't get me wrong, it's super bad for the progressive movement, but it's not apocalyptic

but like I said, acting as though it is a useful way to get the general public on board with court packing and judicial reform, so I approve

I mean. It's not apocalyptic to cisgender heterosexual able bodied white people. But if you're a disabled trans poc? :/ Outside of a few states you're pretty much two a case verdict or two away from being recognized as a second class citizen.

We already have legalized slavery in the form of for profit prisons, all the new Supreme Court has to do is get tough on crime and we just have even more of it.

Nah, fuck that.

Americans should 100% be out there and resist any and all efforts to strip people of their rights. It might start small, but one step leads to more. First it's just "getting tough on crime" then it's rounding up "disagreeables". First it's "bringing GOD back into the heart of America, then LGBT+ discrimination becomes legalised and so on.

It looks like a majority of Americans are going to backslide as far as employee rights/pay goes. Unions could fix this, their memberships ARE on the rise. American is becoming a christian theocracy. If you're a white christian male, you'll be ok. Life will get worse for everyone else.

You admitted it's super bad for the progressive movement. If that's the case, then we probably can't just inwardly think people are overblowing it, while outwardly slowly pushing people in the direction we want. The Supreme Court will make moves quicker than that gambit pays off. People will suffer in the interim.

i mean i don't think slowly making moves is the way to handle this

i'd be in favor of Biden and a Democratic senate expanding the courts (SCOTUS and lower) on January 21st

that's the absolute earliest anything can be done here

i'm just saying til everyone is sworn in you gotta get people up in arms and talking about it. gotta get the general public pissed off

Unless you're a white male who is married to/partnered with someone who isn't a white woman.

not on day 1. They will probably pass religious liberty laws that de facto mean that certain people are now second class citizens.

Or imagine ruling that black people don't have a constitutional right to breathe so it's ok to choke them. I overdid that example, sorry, nobody could pass such a racist, cruel ruling, my bad. Just kidding, Amy 'I adopted two hatian kids' Barret did: https://www.theroot.com/unqualified-impunity-amy-coney-barrett-once-ruled-that-1845429637

Or imagine ruling that saying the N-word is totally gucci at work. Nobody would rule such a thing right? Oh wait, she also said that, it's in the same link I mentioned too: https://www.theroot.com/unqualified-impunity-amy-coney-barrett-once-ruled-that-1845429637

Not really. With a 6/3 Majority they can legit go overturn every past Supreme Court decision they don't like.

Just a reminder that, with Amy, they already have three votes to overturn gay marriage. Two more and it's gone.

It's really not an overreaction to worry about this.
