Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm sure the three Federalist Society judges deciding this case will make an impartial decision based entirely on the relevant laws and precedents. /s
Edit: They ruled just the way I expected.
Just doesn't make any sense. First of all, the whole concept of the complaint is absurd.
Claimed: It should be illegal because anti-abortion doctors might have to take care of a patient who suffers a complication from the medication?
What? No, seriously what the fuck?? This isn't a claim.
Second, federalist society wants low taxes and regulations. What the fuck does this have to do with taxes and regulations? What does this have to do with the founding fathers? Why are they the federalist society if they oppose pretty much everything in the federalist papers explaining why we needed a federal govt and couldn't rely on the state governments doing everything?
Clarence thomas regularly writes super short opinions that just point to the tenth amendment and scotus doesnt have jurisdiction.
Idk man, it's just all so dumb it's like a bad movie fml.
I'm pretty sure the Federalist Society wants whatever the far right wants.
