Absent that, I do not see any good reason why the Dems shouldn't stack the obviously political court and forget about any nostalgic goals of non-partisanship or judicial impartiality.
The text messages between Meadows and Ginni Thomas were also incredibly damning.
I really hope that because of this issue the Democrats can be galvanized into actually fighting back instead of meekly accepting Mitch et al's naked power grabs.

I don't understand how Robert's compromise is an option. If I understand i correctly he's proposing that Roe can stand but the cutoff period can be reduced to 15 weeks or whatever Alabama is looking for. What is the legal justification for that? The cutoff date is already somewhat arbitrary but at least tied to some notion of viability being equated to human life. I'd be interested in seeing his reasoning, and what prevents the cut-off from continuously being changed.
