The Wretched Supreme Court

Welp, SCOTUS has had quite a time taking rights away from the citizens.  The change to Miranda rights, for the worse, did not get much attention in the press.  It should have.  Nor did the change to habeas corpus, which resulted in a possibly innocent man being executed by the state of Arizona get that much coverage.  In their infinite wisdom, they decided that states were not equipped to regulate access to guns, that should fall to the federal government.  So, the New York gun laws are now moot.  Roe is getting all of the ink, but it's even worse than we think.  Read these words from Justice Thomas.  The article I'm quoting from is here.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas would like to see the court revisit decisions that legalized same-sex marriage, contraception and sex acts between consenting adults.

In a concurring opinion in the court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Thomas said, “In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.”

The Griswold ruling gave married couples the right to access contraceptives. It's been on the books since 1965.

In 2003, the court ruled in favor of Lawrence, saying states could not outlaw sex acts by consenting adults.

Thomas was on the bench when the Obergefell case came before the court in 2015. In a 5-4 decision, the court granted same-sex couples the right to get married. Thomas was among the justices who dissented.

This is so depressing, the nation we were is disappearing.  I expect to lose the right to vote any day now.
