Yes they would need too many Republicans to actually remove him. But I think, especially if Democrats take the House back, both Murkowski and Susan Collins would be best served becoming independents and caucusing with the Democrats. Maine is a blue state, and under Alaska's new system Murkowski will always end up running against someone more conservative in the general election anyway.
Yeah! F this guy! That last line and link was a very cathartic way to end this dramatic day. But more work to be done. It’s unreal that Thomas dissented without a word. Why is he there? Alito - my goodness. Flames surround him! He’s evil!
I'll say this in a restrained way :) Since both of those men seem to be so deeply uncomfortable living in the 21st century, and even in the 20th century, it is merciful to wish them a short remaining life in this world, and then they can go on to wherever they think they go next.
I had managed to suppress my terror for a little while until a colleague at my PP simply texted “holy shit!!!” to our team group chat. Could have used a little more context as I went into a panic spiral until finding a news report! Whew! Small victories are still victories!
“For now” just eats at my gut. That we are to live in a world of hope is so anathema to me. This entire process of fighting to have the rights to be a full human being is a process only one half of the human race has to fight for.
Maybe. But the 5th circuit had kind of narrowed the decision so it was more just about abortion, I think for precisely that reason, and it looks like it was still a step too far for this supreme court, so idk.
Friday was a long day waiting. Good news for the moment!
Made my day!
Feeling great relief for women across this country - for the moment.
Like to see Murkowski remove kcasmaryk (no capital for him) from the bench!!

I’d like to know when someone will pull this shit with Viagra. Let’s take that little blue pill from old Clarence and see how he likes it.
We really really should file that suit, just to make the point.
Woo hoo!! A short breather. confessing so much hate in my heart for Thomas and Alito. The fight continues !!🥊
When someone wants to make you a slave, all the anger is justified. The trick is not to let that hate destroy you, because then they win.
This qualifies for my good news Friday!! Phew!!!😅
Fingers crossed it stays this way! Thank you for all your reporting and updates.
Hooray! And here's more - still much more ahead in the federal courts:

Yes! Thank you!!!
Thank God! A big breather for once.
I think the pharmaceutical industry/$$ will rule the day here. Speaks to a different kind of cravenness.

Woot!!
Smoke 'em if you got 'em, good news is always welcome!
I don't smoke but it's certainly a great day to celebrate 4/20 lol
I believe it’s on the docket for mid-May after which things could change again but for now, yahoo!
