tailored to have them overturn that amendment to the Constitution.

Or maybe they'll come for women's right to vote....either, way, they are definitely going to try to overturn the pieces of the Constitution they don't like.

Lucky for us the court moves at the speed of a glacier, so they might not get to it very quickly, or they'll just invalidate a few amendments on the shadow docket.

NOTE: Feeling very not positive about things today. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
