        I do self-criticism constantly because I’m trapped in a Maoist cult where comrades (white terrorists) criticize me mercilessly for having a fascist credit card (VISA Silver Signature Rewards)

        They won’t let me order vegan pizza anymore because the phone is fascist and “summoning my pizza slaves with a bourgeois app” is “bad vibes”

      Can’t the president literally just issue an executive order for literally anything at which point it’s up to the court/congress to go “um that’s illegal”

      Like there’s nothing stopping Biden from ordering the military to set up free access abortion clinics except for the potential to be stopped after the fact?

        You know it would be really funny if the federal government seized a bunch of clinic-sized plots of land in red districts all around the country and established abortion services on them.

          Hell, even without the leak, the case started in December of the previous year, so he and the democratic majority in the house and senate had half a year to work on something even before the verdict was delivered. And they should have expected and prepared for a conservative-majority court to deliver such a verdict.

          There’s really no viable excuse, they just failed everybody.
