You've pivoted to a trial after calling for them to be lynched yesterday.
I retract the word lynched.
I would want them arrested, tried and sentenced for their actions, in a special court of law.
What they have done is heinous, and there needs to be more urgency in rectifying it. It looks like nothing is going to be done to about it, which would be a tragedy.
Because I am not in favor of kangaroo courts for opponents.
However much I diaagree with the ruling what the Justices did was legal. And once you start down the road you are suggesting the “eye for an eye” would apply to all judges and be very difficult to stop.
I’m going to put you on ignore nowCatcher - what you are suggesting would rip,further holes in the currently fragile US democracy.
What the Nazis did was legal.
Jim Crow was legal. It doesnt make it right.
What I'm suggesting would protect women. Theres no democracy worth living for women, if they dont have control over their bodies. Its over.
And frankly, the only Kangaroo court I see is the Supreme Court, who have just endangered women and girls lives.

I’m sure I’ve heard another (higher profile) republican a couple of years ago saying much the same.
EDIT: Ah yes, it was Todd Akin. Missed the “Akin-esque” bit in the tweet.
Todd Akin in his Missouri Senate run against Claire McCaskill ten years ago.
Might not even hurt him in Missouri today.

Amidst what has been a seemingly endless stream of depressing reads on this issue, this piece seems to offer some historical perspective for reasons to have hope about where we go from here. It going to be a big change for the GOP to not be able to campaign overturning Roe anymore.

Roe Is the New Prohibition
The pro-life movement needs to know that such culture wars result not in outright victory for one side but in reaction and compromise.
The father needs to miss work whenever the mother does for morning sickness, doctors appointments, bed rest, etc.
They also need to be responsible for half the pregnancy related medical costs.
Let the pregnancy effect men's career progression, job opportunities, etc
That would be cool, but since they have also voted to make school shootings easier.........
