More fallout from the abortion ruling on the Twitters...
Loads of this type of thing:
Thankfully, there's also humor:
And "Oh Snap!" moments:
Then there's the threats against Christians:
Responses were what you'd expect, but this one made me laugh:

There are no cops in my small town, and I'm pretty sure I heard automatic gunfire the other night. A couple 7-9 round bursts.

SCOTUS' latest ruling has pissed off the Ds and White House again.
I have no idea if this is good or bad, but I do know that I'm really sick and tired of people saying justices need to do "what's right". No they fucking don't. That's Congress' job. They make the laws. SCOTUS is just there to decide if the created laws adhere to the Constitution. If a law fails that test according to SCOTUS, then Congress needs to make a new law that does.
And the constant voting along party lines is complete horseshit too. They're not politicians, they're judges and should be making rulings based on the law, not their political beliefs. The odds of the 6 conservative justices or the 3 liberal justices ALWAYS interpreting the law the same way as the others with their leanings are slim to none.

Sides with Biden on "Remain in Mexico".
So prepare for an influx of Catholics who Ds want here to vote for them, but based on current trends will end up voting R.

CNN has two headline articles up today bashing SCOTUS. This is something they've been doing ever since Roe v Wade was overturned. Here's an "analysis" piece claiming SCOTUS is responding poorly to public criticism.
Uh, call me crazy, but why should SCOTUS give two fucks about public opinion? In fact, them not caring about public opinion is a GOOD thing. They're there to make rulings based on the letter of the law, not because something is popular.
Now if you wrote an article about judges at all levels towing a political party's line, THAT is a conversation we should be having. Judges shouldn't base any rulings on their political, personal, or religious beliefs.

History suggests that SCOTUS sometimes makes Constitutional decisions not based on how the document was intended, but whether or not they'll get flack at their next cocktail party.

I don't think there's a mechanism in place for that. Therefore, they'd declare their getting fired to be unconstitutional.

There actually is, and it's called the 2nd amendment. That's why the government and their stooges really want to take it away from us.

Fuck do I hate that ignorant argument. Seriously, tell me you know NOTHING about history and the military without telling me you know nothing about history and the military.
It's mind boggling that actual intelligent people say that and think it's a legit point. It proves how clouded people can become by their political biases.

CNN wants you to know trust in the Supreme Court is at an all time low.
Gee, I wonder why?
First, Roe vs Wade wasn't going to win them fans.
Second, CNN and their ilk have spent a lot of time and effort bashing SCOTUS ever since Trump's appointees were added, including helping to spread proven falsehoods against one of them. Then when RvW was overturned instead of diving into the "why" of the ruling, instead it was all "here's why conservatives hate you, these appointees lied!, how this hurts women, the poors, and minorities most, etc.
Seriously, if you don't see how the MSM is massively harmful to our society, then you're not paying attention.
It boggles the mind how people can say things like "FAUX News!!" or "Communist News Network", then spend all night watching the one they weren't bashing and believing they're getting unbiased news.
