Re abortion .. do conservatives really think abolishing abortion is a winning strategy going forward? Their hardcore religious base may finally get their wish .. but I just dont see many new voters or independents joining a party that puts religion above politics and the Constitution.



re SC to block Dem laws ... if this happens repeatedly and it becomes apparent that the conservative SC is not applying the law but now just a political branch serving just conservatives ... wont that be the end of the SC? Why wouldnt Dems just add 43 new justices and make the SC the theatre of the absurd? Wouldnt the deference to the SC be greatly diminished in the eyes of Americans?

Not touching #1. But #2 has been the Democratic party since Roosevelt.
