A case still had to make it's way to them. They will drop that pretense soon enough.

They'll just reveal "the Willard case", a 6-0 decision, that the 19th Amendment to the Contitution is Unconstitutional. It cites the Pragmatic Sanction, a foundational text to our Republic, as the reason that women are not allowed to vote or hold property.

Feels like they’d go after 14th before 19th. Since it enables so many other things and they want slavery back.

Because he runs the federal government right now, and the federal government has power over the states, so he will punish them.

Yeah, stare decisis means nothing anymore according to this Supreme court.

They bend over backwards to get the outcome they desire.

I believe above user was subtly referencing other causes for personnel vacancies like being greeted by Luigi's of this world.

I uh, I hate the be the one to tell you this.

The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.

Slavery never went away, it just needs an extra step. It's why Republicans criminalize "being Black," why they love to criminalize lots of things they don't like. In fact they probably would love to keep the 13th exactly as it is because it gives them perfect cover for the rubes. "We're not racist, we just don't like criminals!"

As for the 14th, they don't have to burn it, they just have to constantly reinterpret it around White Grievance politics. See the redistricting fight currently happening today. Drawing voting districts to accurately represent minority populations in Congress is "akshually racist against white people."

They have been coordinating a systematic dismantling of and eventual destruction of democracy and civil society for the better part of a century now. The republicans are the fucking antichrist.

It's so god damned bleak, and this is the endgame. Starve the beast, the southern strategy, the voter suppression and gerrymandering, the union busting, judicial capture, regulatory capture, the lobbying, the ceaseless propaganda machine, the economic sabotage, the normalization of authoritarianism, the rolling back of civil rights, the educational manipulation...

Here's the Project 2025 tracker. They are HALF WAY DONE. In five months. It's fucking done, we're done, democracy is gone, there will be no more free and fair elections, they have us by the balls in a vice, and they will never let go.

They are halfway done. In five months.

Stop lying to yourselves, the only way democracy survives this is with coordinated violent resistance. In any case, the USA is toast, it's gone.

I got a fun little thing here in my hand that is quite appealing.

They have. They did. We're done.

The Dems finally figured out it's incredibly stupid to keep fighting and pushing upward when it just results in a net loss for us. Took them a surprisingly long time to figure it out, and we lost a lot of rights, including trans rights, in the progress.

the federal government has power over the states

What if taxes are withheld?

Then they'll just print whatever money they decide they need. Taxes are functionally irrelevant.

zimbabwe strats ftw
