The ruling was based on what we call "calvinball", where they just make shit up that suits their own views.

  If that’s your level of argumentative empathy I can see why you’re mad.

    I'm mad because authoritarianism and its supporters are bad, full stop.

      clearly you have a hard time distinguishing between who supports what.

        I believe in freedom and democracy. I don't believe in mobs attacking the Capitol or "find me some votes" or minority rule or massive roundups and detention camps or any of that.

          can you find any comments anywhere here which seem to support " mobs attacking the Capitol or "find me some votes" or minority rule or massive roundups and detention camps or any of that"?

            That is what you are defending when you defend this decision, which along with everything else was drawn out to the last possible moment so as to kick the can until after the election.

      Authoritarianism is when the appointed judges vote 6-4 for an interpretation which at worst is an extension of existing principle.

        > Authoritarianism is when the appointed judges vote 6-4 for an interpretation which at worst is an extension of existing principle. Comrade, in the United States, we have 9 supreme court justices.

  Roe itself was far more of a "calvinball" ruling than overturning it was.
