“NOPE.” @SenWhitehouse’s short, blunt answer when I asked him if Democrats have 50 votes to relax the filibuster to pass a bill codifying Roe. He reiterated that they need 52-54 Dem Senators in the next Senate term. #TheReidOut — PolitiTweet.org

Our opening convo on @thereidout tonight will be on the perfectly alignment of the goals of the SCOTUS majority, white evangelicals and the Republican Party.

What we do know is that the zealous minority forces who crave a stylistic if not total return to America’s cruel original state of nature have had a plan brewing not just for 50 years; but really since the day the civil war ended. And they are relentlessly implementing that plan. — PolitiTweet.org

A large majority of Americans categorically do not want to live in an 18th century-style autocracy. They wouldn’t want to be 1780s Virginians or South Carolinians or even New Yorkers of that time. But it’s not clear that the majority is equipped with a plan to prevent it. — PolitiTweet.org

plus a presidency that swings wildly from inertia to autocracy, depending on whether it is held by the party that believes in a “one nation” Lincolnesque philosophy, or in the wildcat chaos, mass human exploitation and unfettered greed of the founding era. — PolitiTweet.org

That is where we currently stand. With a fractured, barely holding collection of 50 little nations and the territories that are the remaining evidence of our empire, each making their own citizenship standards plus a federal legislature that is weaker and more stagnant by the day — PolitiTweet.org

Legislating a return to this fundamental state of play and societal order, has taken the brand name “originalism.” It is currently the political, religious and social philosophy of the minority Republican Party and their six judges who apparently currently rule us. — PolitiTweet.org

Unfettered wealth creation, white male dominion, a dearth of taxation, a particular brand of hyper conservative Christian* religion as the foundation of the social structure with no deviation from gender roles or hierarchies, and enforced cultural conservatism were the norm then. — PolitiTweet.org

Wealthy white Christian* male landowners enjoyed extraordinary control over all of these groups of people, and used it, plus guns and religion to wipe out most indigenous people (who were considered “savages” entitled to neither land nor rights) and to amass extravagant fortunes. — PolitiTweet.org

In the 18th century, Africans were enslaved/forced laborers with neither civil nor citizenship rights, i.e voting. Women were little better than property. Their lives and bodies were fully controlled by their fathers, husbands or male relatives. Most whites were desperately poor. — PolitiTweet.org

Shorter SCOTUS majority: -Women: state property -Climate: can’t regulate polluters -Pandemics: can’t mandate safety -Native tribes: no sovereignty -Miranda: you’re out of luck -AA voters: taxation w/o representation -Right wing Christianity: supreme above the constitution and law — PolitiTweet.org

Where the battle lines will be drawn. Unfortunately, the right to privacy is the very thing the “originalists” on the SCOTUS don’t view as valid since such a thing wasn’t recognized in 1787 and neither Republicans nor white evangelicals want it. — PolitiTweet.org

Kind of... the ruling sends the case back to an extremely hostile lower court. We'll likely be right back here again. The only thing Roberts and Kavanaugh did here was try to at least appear consistent with their prior ruling against Trump re ending DACA. Not much of a "win." — PolitiTweet.org

This wonderful thing happened today. We can certainly pause to celebrate. It's a moment that was 232 years in the making and the result of 80 mil voters who chose Joe Biden as president over Donald Trump. So we now have Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on the nation's highest court. — PolitiTweet.org
