Hopefully you will lead the charge on court expansion because it seems that may be our only way thru this.

Actually it’s their “Buy one, get one 50% off! I just got an email with offers! So I have to pay retail for one & half to get a discount? I can afford that at the time.

Really well put criticism by Sotomayor here: the majority describes trans girls as an existential threat to women's sports but also so insignificant that excluding them doesn't raise any equal protection concerns.
"The majority's position is thus fundamentally inconsistent. It credits the West Virginia Legislature's concern that a class consisting of transgender girls like BPJ is large enough to pose an existential threat to girls' sports, but at the same time holds that this class is too small to be protected by the Equal Protection Clause. In other words, this potentially overbroad generalization is both necessary to furthering substantially the State's interests in girls' sports and effectively irrelevant to assessing the classification's lawfulness. The Court's equal protection precedents neither require nor support this contorted logic."

Well put. I’m getting rationed for expressing my disappointment by Jeffries celebratory statements. You would think that is was 9-0 by his tone. This should have been his statement & how when Dems take majority, what are they going to do to try & protect it.

We must continue the fight to affirm thepower & promise of the14th Amendment until all Americans understand,as Justice KBJ reminds us in her concurrence today“The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste,antisubordination reset 4 the Nation,not a mere spot treatment for thedark stain of slavery.”

Thank you. So no one should laugh as they are very serious about dismantling the 14th amendment. They have the funding & power to keep pushing this agenda.

16 years ago, the Supreme Court allowed obscene corporate donations in politics in #CitizensUnited. Today, the Court removed even more campaign finance restrictions, opening the floodgates of big money into politics right before the midterms.

The change is likely to benefit Republicans, who brought the case and rely more on large donors.

🙄You probably dismissed people as “hysterical” when they were trying to warn that Scotus was on the line when we were vocal for HRC in 2016. I’ll stay with the experts on the constitution & warn what was in Project 2025. You do realize they aren’t stopping with this ruling?

I don’t have follow your rules. He’s celebrating like it’s a 9-0 ruling. It’s not. It requires a different response. We can’t be complacent as a party when we know their plan is to abolish the 14th. It ignores the bigger picture. It’s like bringing an extinguisher to a five alarm fire.

Firmly part of “WE”. I was canvassing, on the phones thru 2016 Election Day.I worked FOR Swing Left in 2018; Biden/Harris ‘20 and many other down ballots. I tried my best in 2024 for Harris but had a devastating medical emergency that prohibited my usual groundwork & campaigning I planned on doing.

Jennifer Kashdan @kashdan.bsky.social · 30/06/2026
Apparently you missed the 2016 election when many of us warned SCOTUS was on the line & were met w/ this kind of response. And 2024 when we warned that this would be worse that the first time. We were right. It’s not complaining, it’s called strategy & fighting for the rights of all.

So your comment was directed at me & not Jeffries? I worked hard on HRC campaign. I was canvassing, on the phones thru Election Day. on Obama ‘08; I worked FOR Swing Left in 2018; Biden/Harris ‘20 and many other down ballots. Firmly part of “WE”.

I said the same thing. He & Jeffries acting like it’s a 9-0 ruling and they aren’t still coming after the 14th amendment along with stripping the US from our constitutional rights & their own chambers powers & impact 🙄. And I’m not a “lefty”. I fought for HRC & how critical it was for scotus then!

You guys on the hill are embarrassing.You & Jeffries celebrating this like it’s a 9-0. It wasn’t. They are still planning on going after the 14th Amendment. I’m so disappointed on how detached you seem from reality & the crisis at hand. This is a “we can breathe but we got to get to work” scenario!

Jennifer Kashdan @kashdan.bsky.social · 30/06/2026
For one, not celebrating in a way that was a unanimous decision. They are still coming for the 14th Amendment. I would say no statement was necessary at all. Just work in the background on what they sr going to do to win back the majority and what they can do with it. Period.

Jennifer Kashdan @kashdan.bsky.social · 30/06/2026
It’s only a temporary “win”. They are not going to stop going after the 14th amendment. It’s like the folks in 2016 that didn’t believe those of us who explained explicitly that Scotus was on the line and so was Roe as well as other civil liberties.

Kinda..I mean he said “rightfully so” to Trump’s response. I didn’t think it sounded like he threw him under the bus, I thought it sounded like they are treating him like a king. I think Fox News viewers will view it that was as well but not as a negative cuz they don’t understand 3 branches of gov

Murc's Law in action. Blaming Democrats for things they have no control over, instead of blaming Republicans for what the GOP has done (or failed to do) with regard to things the GOP actually does have control over. 👉Republicans are responsible for their own actions/inactions.👈
Meme with green background and the text:

MURC'S LAW 
Journalists who blame Democrats for situations brought about by Republican behavior are following Murc's Law. Murc’s Law is "the widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics." * 

These journalists seem to believe (perhaps unconsciously) that Republicans have so little control over their own behavior that they cannot be held accountable for their own actions. 

So, instead of blaming Republicans for the political difficulties they cause, they blame Democrats for failing to control Republicans’ bad behavior.
