I am in a state of deep shock & have cried several times this morning reading reactions from people.

We've seen that impeachment and hearings do fuck all.
Civil disobedience and mass strikes, any form of direct action would be a better option.

If you look at the video in context, nowhere in it do they say they personally support Roe v. Wade. Just that it's an established precedent, which it was. It's all weasel words, but I don't think it technically ads up to perjury. However, I believe anyone who believed their testimony is a fool.

I'll be reading the Bruen decision tomorrow but before I do I wanted to take issue with a few things that were said earlier in the thread.
I'm also curious about your reliance on 'the aims of the Constitution when written'. Should they be static aims? They were undoubtedly a reflection of the dominance of wealthy white men over American society, and as such couldn't it be said that there's an argument for not adhering to the original aims of the Constitution in a modern democracy?
Also, thin end of the wedge arguments are crap. There is a sensible middle ground that can be reached where individuals have the freedom to speak freely in public, but not the freedom to carry a concealed pistol. In fact, such a middle ground existed in the state of New York as recently as last week. In addition, the Act which the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional had been on the books there since 1911. In the 111 years since then, how far up the wedge have we travelled from the thin end that you speak of? If it's not very far, and people in New York enjoy the same rights as people in other states do on matters unrelated to gun control, then isn't it possible that your argument isn't any more than a weak appeal to emotion?
If you insist on applying a historical lens to your analysis of the US Constitution you're adopting the originalist position beloved by conservatives. Other ways of interpreting the constitution are available, and they would result in a different result in the Bruen case.

But individual Constitutional rights are restricted all the time. The meaning of most of the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution are heavily contested, and views on what can and can't be done to abridge those rights have varied over time. Freedom of speech looks very different in 2022 to how it looked in 1800. As does the right to protection from unlawful searches and seizures.

Nobody voting for their appointment "believed" their testimony. Their comments were window dressing.

When it was said that future wars would be fought in cyberspace, they weren't kidding. It's truly a mindfuck.

I like that term -sounds like they are progressing.
Only thing is that the States seem to be going backwards
Could we call them a regressing nation?

Susan Collins is a particularly egregious individual. At least the rest of her Republican colleagues have the decency to be openly deplorable.

Watching the protests and reporting from there in the US getting some nuggets of information/insight into just how much the $ystem is now being ripped up and exposed. I know it is a longish video at 23 mins.
The crowd sound really upset and like a powder keg.

Senator John Cornyn, posted this to twitter in response to a tweet by former President Obama yesterday:

Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board are decisions that guarantee equal access to education for minorities. They're really saying the quiet part out loud now. We need to stop thinking that they're just blowing off steam or misspeaking. Stop with the "let's all talk and be friends" bullshit. They have declared war on us. We should recognize it for what it is and deal with it with the seriousness it deserves.
John Cornyn Was Torched For A Bizarre Tweet About Segregation
After Roe v. Wade was overturned, the GOP senator made a cryptic statement about Plessy v. Ferguson and Broad v. Board of Education.

That implies that there is some progress going on, rather than just regression.

You're quite right to critique 1%er's nonsense, but only an idiot looks at this through the lens of contrived jurisprudence in the first place.
