Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.
Innocent people do not delay justice.
New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.
We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.
This really is a full service blog.
Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.
Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.
This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.
Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.
Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.
I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.
When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.
The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.
Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.
Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.
Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.
Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.
Hot air and ill-informed banter
The gop is a fucking disgrace.
The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Roberts will be confirmed unless there is something we don’t know. Same thing I said on Day One. If I were a Dem senator, I’d vote to confirm based on what I know now.
Where’s the beef?
Mr.Ortiz
It’s Karl Rove! He’s trying to distract from his own troubles by smearing his own party’s nominee, and doing it so slopily it actually increases voter sympathy for Republicans. The man is a genius.
Okay, I don’t really believe that, but I wouldn’t put it past him either.

Is there a soul on the planet that thinks that Roberts won’t vote to overturn Roe?
ppGaz
Probably, but it won’t matter. The future of the American Experiment does not hang on Roe v. Wade. An overturn of Roe will not suffice to return us to 1967. All it would do is stir up the churn and inflame the partisans. When it’s all said and done, somewhere way down the road when the country is grown up, people will have some kind of “choice” (whatever you think that is) and other things will be a lot more important. On the grand and global scale of things, this issue is way down the the list. It’s only up on the list now because it’s politically useful for it to be.

I keep reminding people who start hyperventilating about this about something amazing which happened back when Casey v. Planned Parenthood was actually before the Court. A lot of “pro-life” Republicans started reporting having had “conversations” with their wives or daughters, and publicly reaffirming their general support for some form of an abortion right.
Had the Casey decision gone the other way that July, I’m quite certain that some form of the Roe test would have been back on the books before the beginning of the summer. But, to everyone’s surprise, Sandra Day O’Connor wrote a stunning decision, to vote to protect Roe, on the grounds that it was “settled law”.
Will Roberts vote against Roe? Quite possibly, although O’Connor’s wording is significant, given his own answers to questions. Will it be the end of the world? Not for American women, nor for the American experiment.
