Republican Politics

The movement to repeal Roe sometime in the future was a useful campaign hammer sitting in the Republican toolbox, but now they actually have to use it. The next step is to pound women on the head. Republicans have a dominating collection of crackpots and money-grubbers on the Supreme Court. Their time has finally come.

Until now the effort by White Republicans to further control women has not cost them the majority of votes from White women. Overturning Roe may change that. John Roberts is worried. Republican strategists from the Ivies are concerned. The dreaded moment of actual change has arrived. 

If Roe dies, the Democrats can hang the corpse around the Republican neck like a medallion. And it, as Justice Sotomayor told us, will smell awful.
