That, my friend, is 'Murica, and the a**hole majority's opinions in the Supreme Court. Guns now have more rights than women.

Oh I know. A majority opinion of a minority of The People. If I was someone who relished in attacking a foreign nation's charter I might be inclined to say someone needs to take a pick axe to that old scroll and get their @ss into the 21st century. Luckily I avoid such commentary.

Saturday Night Live got it right with this skit (as dumb as it might be)

It's okay, after the children are born we can shoot them with our guns. We satisfy the gun lobby and get rid of unwanted kids at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone, as it were.

You know the few people ive spoken to here in the UK today all said basically what you've just said.. using dark humour to try and make sense of what we're hearing..

Europe (Britain particularly) seems stuck in some kind of 1970's 'winter of discontent' revival thing but this makes the US look like its trying to recreate the medieval past it never actually had!

In all honesty i didnt watch the SNL video before i posted... Phew.. Yep...

Amy Coney Barrett is an originalist, meaning she interprets the constitution as if it were 1787. Maybe she should be removed from the court because no woman was admitted until 1981, almost 200 later.

Amy Coney Barrett should be trundled off to marry a cousin in an arranged marriage and kept barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen like every dutiful 18th century wife, who were more chattel than people. Die in childbirth and the husband can move along (after a few months of enforced grieving, of course) to marry the next cousin. Woman couldn't vote until the 20th century -- there was no precedent in the Constitution until it was amended.

Which reminds me, you know how to shut up an originalist? Remind them of the The three-fifths compromise, an infamous passage in the US Constitution, wherein a slave could be counted as 3/5ths of a human being for tax purposes. Wonder why they didn't keep that in there? Perhaps because it was unethical as hell and morally contemptible. So don't tell me we have to look at the Constitution as it was written 250 years ago, because it is bullsh**.

Oh, Norbert, need I say a Hungarian's view of the U.S. is useless. You clearly don't understand Federal vs. State law and your stance is muddled between Religious Extremism and Redneck Ignorance.

Anything else? Maybe some tea?

No problems for me. I live in the democratic country of California.

It's worth remembering that four right wing justices were nominated by two presidents who did not win the popular vote. So there's that.
