Darkness Visible
Roe v Wade overturned as supreme court strikes down federal right to abortion – live (theguardian.com)
"Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans."
Barack Obama
"Following the SCOTUS ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, Missouri has just become the first in the country to effectively end abortion with our AG opinion signed moments ago. This is a monumental day for the sanctity of life."
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt
"Missouri has witnessed long stretches without executions, but in some years the state put more people to death per capita than anywhere else in the country"
The Next to Die | The Marshall Project.
"A dungeon horrible, on all sides round
As one great furnace flamed, yet from those flames
No light, but rather darkness visible
Served only to discover sights of woe,
Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace
And rest can never dwell, hope never comes."
-John Milton, Paradise Lost

Re: Darkness Visible
The Trump Court now threatens the Legitimacy of the Supreme Court itself, for why should American citizens respect an Institution whose aim is to promote the extremist policies of a minority in the country, because of some unwanted religious influence on the Justices when they make their 'legal' arguments, as the Dissenting opinion declares-
"Now a new and bare majority of this court – acting at practically the first moment possible – overrules Roe and Casey. It converts a series of dissenting opinions expressing antipathy toward Roe and Casey into a decision greenlighting even total abortion bans. It eliminates a 50-year-old constitutional right that safeguards women’s freedom and equal station. It breaches a core rule-of-law principle, designed to promote constancy in the law. In doing all of that, it places in jeopardy other rights, from contraception to same-sex intimacy and marriage. And finally, it undermines the court’s legitimacy."

An updated definition of Christian s required, As for Susan Collins saying she was 'duped' by Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, she has been involved in US politics since 1975, so it is not ignorance, or naivete, but indifference. She is as complicit in this decision as her Republican colleagues.

Re: Darkness Visible
Susan Collins also said that Trump would learn a lesson after she voted against his first impeachment. Evidently she is a poor judge of character. I think it's clear from the lawyeresque way they answered the question in the confirmation hearings that they were giving themselves wiggle room.
