Can you possible think of a happy medium between those two extremes?

I suppose I could run for president myself. Can I count on your vote?

Oh, don’t you get it? It’s the [three arrows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Arrows) now. So that means now he’s _really serious_ about opposing fascism. Which in this case apparently means licking their boots extra clean.

Look, I’m a working-class college dropout with chronic depression and a fucked-up liver, and statistically there’s a 50% chance that I have less than 15 years to live. I don’t know what you expect me to personally do about the Supreme Court besides cast my vote and donate $20 to Planned Parenthood or the ACLU now and then.

I asked you first BEFORE you turned it on Smapti. But clearly you ignore me when I call you out on your shit. Like when you claimed Vermont was a red state and when I showed you how wrong you were you escaped from THAT thread and couldn’t even admit you were wrong.

So how about YOU answer the question I challenged YOU with before you call out Smapti? Huh? Or again you’ll just ignore me and go on like you are always right.

Don’t worry about it. Czarcasm doesn’t know either or he would have answered my question. He does this until he gets caught then ducks, dodges and hides.

Well, there you go. Clearly I need to move to Arkansas, somehow get pregnant despite not having the necessary organs, and sue the state for the right to abort.

I’ve been a real layabout for not thinking of that sooner. 🙂

OR grow corn in your field beyond the federal government’s limits for your own personal use.

You want sympathy from a 67 year old former security officer turned school custodian, diabetic person recovering from an almost always fatal aneurysm, two heart stoppages and financial difficulties who will be damn lucky if he survives the next five years? Cry me a river.  
I want you to do the right thing despite all obstacles, but I expect you to do what you think is right for to do to survive…and damn it if I can tell you which is the better choice.

See! He replied to you but still didn’t answer the question asked of him. It’s like I’m the Amazing Fuckin’ Kreskin.

Out Of Play: I just looked him up. The Amazing Kreskin is still alive!

Didn’t ask for it, wasn’t expecting it.

What are YOU doing to actively fight the Supreme Court?

Great question. Maybe Czarcasm will answer that.  
Oh wait! He has repeatedly ignored the question so don’t count on it.

Insurrection? No. An “[invasion](https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/immigration-is-not-invasion)”? Already being worked on by right-wing courts.

I note that you’ve effectively ceded the point that the current Supreme Court could do pretty much whatever it wanted without any checks or balances to its rulings, no matter how extreme, and such rulings would become the law of the land immediately. And having overturned Roe, [the efforts to overturn Obergefell are already in motion](https://abovethelaw.com/2024/10/prepping-for-the-supreme-court-to-overturn-obergefell/).

But please keep telling us things won’t be that bad.
