The Dems finally figured out it’s incredibly stupid to keep fighting and pushing upward when it just results in a net loss for us. Took them a surprisingly long time to figure it out, and we lost a lot of rights, including trans rights, in the progress.
Comment on Net neutrality advocates won’t appeal loss, say they don’t trust Supreme Court
tonytins@pawb.social 2 weeks agoYeah. As much as I want them to keep fighting, it’s probably for the better they don’t in this case. I’ve realized that the GOP want people to keep appealing and have it go straight to SCOTUS.

I wouldn't be surprised if this SCOTUS starts handing down "rulings" for Null v Null cases - completely unsolicited and unprompted bans and overturns of settled precedent. In other words, literally lawmaking from the bench, the thing that fascist conservatives have been disingenuously railing against for years.

They already did that with Roe. Suddenly decided that 50 years of precedent didn’t matter and overnight destroyed all confidence the country had in the SC.

A case still had to make it's way to them. They will drop that pretense soon enough.
They'll just reveal "the Willard case", a 6-0 decision, that the 19th Amendment to the Contitution is Unconstitutional. It cites the Pragmatic Sanction, a foundational text to our Republic, as the reason that women are not allowed to vote or hold property.

Feels like they’d go after 14th before 19th. Since it enables so many other things and they want slavery back.
