I take Thomas seriously when he talks of wanting to eliminate more rights

I take Thomas seriously. There will be more terrible Supreme Court decisions. You know the right-wing extremists want to do this and they don’t care about blowback from the public.

There's no question that the reasoning in Dobbs imperils other constitutional rights such as gay marriage, contraception, and consensual sodomy.

The Court reassures us that "abortion is different," but that difference is irrelevant to the Court's constitutional analysis. 1/

Justice Clarence Thomas, in his concurring opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, fomented fears about what other rights could disappear: The same rationale, he said, should also be used to overturn rights to contraception and same-sex marriage. https://t.co/tMsDFDqmAI

Right when I started this beat, I asked an antiabortion lawmaker when they’d be done. “Never,” they told me — because abortion is murder, and we can’t stop until there’s no more murder, anywhere.

Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday praised the end of Roe, but sought to distance himself from Clarence Thomas' opinion suggesting overturning other rights. "These other privacy issues like contraception do not deal with the potential for life," he said. https://t.co/DSpTknuRHf

Though the court did not weigh in on cases such as Griswold, Loving, Obergefell or Lawrence, Thomas suggested that the ruling should result in it revisiting & likely overturning those cases.

Collins and Manchin are chumps

They think that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh lied to them. They did but Collins and Manchin should have known better. I and millions of others knew better. Trump made it clear that he was going to appoint anti-abortion judges and he did.

Collins and Manchin should take responsibility for their poor judgment but they won’t. They’ll just blame the lying justices.

We should hear from Senators Murkowski, Collins, and Manchin if they believe there should be any consequences at all for misleading members of the US Senate in order to secure a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.

Otherwise Roe’s undoing is their legacy too.
