The Right is eagerly anticipating victory in their 50 year war against Roe V Wade this summer, when the 6-3 Wingnut Supreme Court rules in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. In case you have been too consumed by the war in Ukraine to remember all the other battles being fought,
Yep - they will run through all their cultural shibboleths, removing all impediments to the Christian nation they so earnestly desire..... Of course, they will run the whole bloody country into the loving ground - and they won't even know what hit them, they are so ignorant of what has made this country great in the past - for all its faults.....
'The Ninth Amendment of the Constitution states: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” Because the rights protected by the Ninth Amendment are not specified, they are referred to as “unenumerated.” The Supreme Court has found that unenumerated rights include such important rights as the right to travel, the right to vote, the right to keep personal matters private and to make important decisions about one’s health care or body.'

This the best I could, do but as these 'rights', are not in the constitution, some of them are likely to get smudged and twisted by the far-right.
Domino's lined up for a return to Southern society and 18th century Christian purity. Good luck on trying to find a virgin in this house of diddlers and woke folks that will remain.
If I'm not mistaken, most of the wingnuts on the court are members of one religion - Catholic. Did I get that right? I have hope that when they do their massive unraveling of our Constitutional laws and rights, there will be a commensurate massive blowback. Certainly women will be first in line - but the LGBTQ community, which has long suffered and only recently been given their legal freedoms, will be fierce contenders in elections to follow. I don't know what the Catholic church is "thinking" these days, but who on earth would want to affiliate with that religion, given its anti-human posture on just about everything?
Maybe their backup plan is to ensure that none of these "unenumerated" populations will ever have a vote in the future? That might have worked back in the day when you could simply round them up and burn them at a stake, but there were over 7 million more of us in 2020 as I recall. That's a lot of burning. A lot of trees being staked.

Looks like Christian Sharia Law is being formed as we watch.
Shades of Salem witch trials...here we go again.

I didn't get that Federalist Society memo, but I'm glad you filled me in.
Thanks for this inciteful and insightful analysis.
