Yeah, this should be but the first step in trying to climb back up the slippery slope straight to Hell that America's been sliding down on since the '60s. At the very least, the pro-life movement should now refocus on a Right-To-Life amendment instead of resting on their laurels while emboldening others on the right with their victory, because assuredly the pro-abort side won't be giving them even a moment for peaceful celebration.
Between the gun decision and this decision in the last two days, you can almost feel the conservative wing of the court trying to pull us back.
The "bipartisan gun bill" that was in the news days before is essentially a dead man walking now -- there's no way Red Flag Laws stand up to the scrutiny of the precedent just set by SCOTUS. Granted, it will take years to get to that point, but the precedent is important.
This decision, much like yesterday's, is decisive. A cultural earthquake just got set off, and the majority didn't mince words. Roe and Casey were mistakes, and egregious ones, at that.
In the big scheme, it's probably a small victory - one that portends much more fighting in even bigger battles, but it gives me hope. The slide can be arrested. We aren't doomed.
Oh yes, this + yesterday's decision on guns has been a whitepill the size of Texas. At the very least it shows that conservatives (social conservatives to be exact) can actually win and conserve something that isn't a fruit of progressivism. I'm in full agreement that this is only one battle in a larger war, but some battles can be decisive and this here is a major victory for the right worth celebrating, even if the victors should not lose focus and prepare to fight for the next objective.

Call me a cynic, but apart from consistently sensible justices like Thomas I think the supreme court is owned by the uniparty and has no interest in doing the job it's supposed to. It's probably a two pronged strategy, rile up the lefties to vote in the midterms and throw righties a few bones so they'll become complacent instead of bucking the system, which they were getting close to doing. They'll keep going back and forth like that to keep the clown world status quo shambling along.
But culturally, the pendulum is finally showing signs of swinging back. It's heartening. But leftist clown world has been so extreme that the pendulum might swing to the extreme right, which is not going to be pretty.
The decision was 6-3. I believe the initial leak was 5-4, with Roberts trying to convince the conservative bloc to not be so... definitive in their ruling.
The leak directly led to Roberts being more conservative. It's a white pill.
Bingo. Roberts realized SCOTUS's institutional integrity is shot if the left can pull shit like this to prevent decisions they don't like. I initially thought institutional integrity was just his excuse for cucking out to the left but today's decision is evidence that he genuinely cares about it.
Well, it's a whitepill unless it doesn't matter. It's entirely possible that Roberts will go back to cucking out at every opportunity again, and it's also possible, and I'd say even likely, that the leaker's intention wasn't to stop the ruling, but to galvanize the base. If you think about it, this could in theory be a godsend to the Dems, because there are midterms in a few months and they have literally nothing to run on, all they can do is screech about Jan 6 while nobody except twitter checkmarks cares and most of the nation is struggling due to skyrocketing prices and supply shortages, on top of everything that was wrong even before.
Of course, it's also possible that the Dem freakout will be so bad it'll make even more voters swing to the Reps.
Or they'll just cheat again, they got away with Kosovo-tier election shenanigans in 2020 so it's not like they'll calm down this time.

Unironically, God bless America.
Indeed.
Also, even though it's self-serving, I must add:
Anything that causes the left and social media to collectively lose their shit as is currently happening just warms the cockles of my heart.
I myself subsist on sugar, smoke, and schadenfreude. Today has been very filling.

It's extremely hard to have faith in the system right now, but if I'm wrong I'll be very happy.
