then add to this the several big stories in today's NY Times demonstrating how ridiculously emboldened these assholes actually ARE. one big story was about the extent to which states are planning to go to make using so-called "abortion pills" virtually impossible to use in those states with impunity, which even includes prosecuting doctors for prescribing them, banning telehealth conferencing to get these prescriptions (when buying the pills now doesn't even require a prescription, according to FDA guidelines). another was about Louisiana already trying to pass a law making abortions a form of homicide. and there were a couple of others, which I could be specific about, but I'm too lazy to get up. and then there's that prick Abbott, who's trying to stop allowing undocumented people to attend public schools, despite a 1982 SCOTUS decision mandating that states educate these kids. does he KNOW something the rest of might only SUSPECT? if there's ANY aspect of this insanity in which I can manage to take a little bit of pleasure and even manage a tight, grim little smile, it's how furious Roberts says he is by this leak, even if SOME people (not including me)have actually suggested that Roberts is behind the leak himself. and all this speculation about the political position of whomever actually did it is a sideshow. I'm extremely glad it happened. I'm even more glad that Alito seems, by all accounts, to be frightened. I'd be even gladder if I thought the prick "hath murder'd sleep." extending the "Macbeth" allusion, I wouldn't be sorry to see his head on a pike. that is, I realize, a terrible thing to say, but if I'm challenged on it, I'll happily repeat it ad nauseum....

His head on a pike sounds right to me. All this "civilized" shit, this "when they go low we go high" has just ended up with D's looking like wussies and getting beaten like drums.
