It’s all over the news and of course Twitter, probably FeceBook (I don’t miss it), so on. Being a Bernie supporter (no regrets), but not an unreasonable one (not a Bro); it’s all our fault as per the lazy, knee-jerk logic of the Brunch Party. Nevermind they circled the wagons around a shitty candidate who spent more time measuring the drapes in the White House or got another Wall Street bitch. They forget how McConnell can and does throw sand in the gears, as he did in 2016 to prep the seat for a rapist. I’m pretty confident he could’ve kept it up for all of HRC’s crap term. Now with a 6-3 Regressive Majority, Roe v. Wade may be undone as this bizarro Texas law goes into effect since the 5-4 decision showed what partisan hacks they’ve always been. Does anybody with a brain ever thought SCOTUS had integrity, especially with the Dredd Scott or Plessy v. Ferguson decisions?
Here’s another factor for why the Brunchers can stop whining and shut the fuck up. Like their Republican-MAGAt adversaries, they failed Civics 101. The Democrats in Congress need to get off their collective asses, stop fund-raising (whoring) for 10 minutes and work on a national law to protect abortion from states run by Republican dictators. They have had the opportunity since Casey to do something. If there’s someone to blame, it would be the Brunch Party consisting of the Clintons, Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Schumer.
Let me fill you in on why the asinine law is truly worrisome. Firstly, it doesn’t ban abortion like the GOP’s thousand other tries, hence the five shitbags on SCOTUS could play the rule-weasel game in not reviewing its constitutionality. It isn’t enforced by the Texas’ government per se so there’s nobody for NARAL, Planned Parenthood or the ACLU to sue. Secondly, it’s a law allowing any person to sue someone involved in an abortion taking place after six weeks with a reward of ten grand, plus court costs. The level of proof for suing is pretty weak too; translation, the GOP figures to drown abortion providers in court costs, aka SLAP suits, defending false accusations. Now throw in the other law allowing any dickhead over 18 being allowed to own a gun without training or a license. You got it! Texas will be overrun with religious ammosexual zealots playing bounty hunter instead of their usual game of army man. These yahoos can sue the doctors, the nurses, the drivers (but not Uber/Lyft, they have the legislature in their pocket), the list goes on in how spurious and ridiculous this will get. I predict, there will be at least a couple murders as a result of this lethal combination.
What’s the plan now? Beyond waiting for SCOTUS to rule on the upcoming Mississippi case (a bigger moron/bully gathering point)? Protesting does nothing. The Republicans find shame to be an alien concept ever since they elected St. Reagan. Expanding SCOTUS to restore a balance or the will of the people is doomed since Biden shares the tradition delusion, plus call back to McConnell and the DINOs. Legislation is what I’m afraid will be the long-term solution but not until the Boomers are booted from office. Meanwhile, I think Amerika is going to have a new Underground Railroad to the Free States. Whoa! Yes, what a perfect setup to really stick it to SCOTUS to chip away the excuses defending them. I need to ask the lawyers I know if the Texas law is unenforceable across state lines.
To the Brunchers, I ask you this. You can either join me in the fight or you can continue sitting around bitching, blame throwing as you’ve done for 21 years like Eric Alterman. I’m fighting.
