    The supreme court doesn’t make laws. Congress can protect abortion rights. Obviously elections determine the make up of Congress, but ultimately they determine who is on the supreme court too. If Trump weren’t elected, protections provided by RvW would have been secure for decades.

      The supreme court doesn’t make laws.

      With their overturning Roe, completely ignoring precedent and redefining “standing” to include hypothetical fantasies (ala, the Web ‘designer’ Lorie Smith who never was asked to create a LGBTQ+ wedding website, but “might have to someday”), they are indeed making laws.

      SC determines if a law is constitutional and in today’s court, right wing tomfoolery is legal while everything else, no matter how sane and logical, can get struck down.

      This was very obvious to many of us years back. As you said, if that clown Trump wasn’t elected this would have been all a non-issue for decades.
