Kevin LaRose, 8647I think many would agree that today we find ourselves in a situation where many things we hold dear and thought were settled over the past 75 or even 100 years are now under attack and threatened to be dismantled. I think about me as a person with disabilities. Many employment opportunities available through <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DEI</a> programs are now gone. Disability rights in general are being weakened because we need to bow to the needs and wants of business. And then there’s <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> nuking <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Roe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Roe</a> and almost certainly setting their sites on <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SameSexMarriage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SameSexMarriage</a> next. And why stop there? Why not get rid of <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Miranda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Miranda</a> and <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Gideon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gideon</a> while they’re at it? Perhaps even <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Loving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Loving</a> to boot? And also decide that maybe the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Confederacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Confederacy</a> was victorious after all? I think I’m in need of lunch and possibly an attitude adjustment.

DrBob, Neurologist, 🧠MechanicObergefell next on the chopping block?

Sometimes all 3 Justices, sitting on the couch in Souter's office, would jointly review their progress, & their cooperation led to a stunningly unexpected result: Rather than Rehnquist & Scalia having 5 votes to void <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Roe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Roe</a>, there were 5 votes -- Souter, O'Connor & Kennedy, plus Blackmun & Stevens, to uphold Roe.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a>
