So, what a conflict. No, I mean between DonOLD, DeSatan and God. Since now there are 2 people ABOVE THE LAW apparently both designated and sent down by God to save us from ourselves, how do we reconcile that.

How on Earth can that pompous unfeeling little shit stand up and say he represents ANYONE in Florida after last weeks destruction and whats about to happen imminently. What a freak of nature and I don't mean Milton.

DeSantis, Rubio and Scott have only been out for themselves. My family has lived here since 1920, we WERE Republicans but what they have done in the last 20 years has been a disaster itself. Hunkered down waiting for Milton in Orange county

Georgia, Texas, Louisiana … it’s been 159 years since the Civil War ended, and Southern courts just want to go back to those heady days when a man was a man and the only one who mattered.

Keep the votes white and the women silent —much better, isn’t it?

White is one of those cases where I understand why people thought the death penalty was warranted (w/o agreeing with it) but it has been around 30 years. Bit late to execute him now. See, e.g., Breyer's dissent in Glossip v. Gross.

Perhaps incorrectly my suspicion is those who are making these decisions regarding women's bodily rights are men.

The only recourse women have is to cross party lines and in the privacy of the voting booth cast ballots in their own interest which means voting against men who hold them as chattel.

This thought is addressed to men who actually respect women as well.

In this instance, four of the six justices in the majority are women: Justices Warren, McMillian, LaGrua, and Colvin. The same is not true of the legislature or executive branch in Georgia, though.

From a legal perspective, how to you view trial courts harshly criticizing appellate courts? If the appellate court sets law, wouldn't criticizing the appellate court show a weakness to the trial judges position? It seems the transgender case trial judges do that with some frequency. And now more of the same here but seems to pull in the opposite direction.

The criticism came in his footnotes; they weren’t his reasoning. (Also, I’m not sure which “transgender cases” you’re talking about.)

Might it help get the Blue vote out though?

The Republicans will wait until after the election before they push it to the Georgia Supreme Court. They will try to fool people into thinking repro care in GA is no longer something they need to worry about in the general election. Let's hope people in Georgia are smarter than that.

"Women are treated as second class citizens in our country."

Yeah, women can only be first class citizens if they're allowed to kill their unborn children, huh? By the way, what is a reproductive social justice warrior? Is that where you march on the streets chanting for the rights to kill your own children?
