This is one of the most difficult articles I've read in some time. Yes, all the news is challenging these days and nothing can be ignored. But, to envision women being sent back to the 1870's, treated as chattel whose main function on this planet is to produce children, is beyond belief. Yet, it could become our reality.

The final paragraph in this report sets our agenda..."The stakes couldn’t be higher and we need to not only pay attention to these behind-the-scenes actions but also prepare for the worst by developing both political and legislative strategies now for the possibility of an adverse ruling and the impact it could have on next year’s election". Those reading The Hartmann Report get it. We must focus on engaging those who pay no attention to what's going on and/or believe this could never happen in America because they are wrong! It can happen, it will happen, and we must be prepared for the challenge.

The only way to win Rebel is for Congress, the Senate and Executive to be Democratic controlled and filibuster proof. But we are a nation of idiots. Special interest groups, threatening not to vote, vote third party or vote for Trump because the phuckwits haven't got everything that they wanted, mainly because the people that they empower with their petulance and assholery the Republicans have blocked all legislation that dis empowers them (the Christian white nationalist base) and their donors.

We will see the results, when the fascists take over, because these idiots gave the Democrats and the President the finger.

Talk of stupidity. Slamming your head with a hammer, because you couldn't get an iPhone is idiocy.

If they think democracy is bad, they're really going to think dictatorship is bad. The Christians could ban, abortions, gambling, pornography, smoking cigarettes, alcohol, and it wouldn't affect me, and I am one of the people that are their mortal enemies? I think this will end like prohibition did.

In order to serve good and God one needs to try to end human suffering. The fascists try to cause human suffering. Because they are sadists in my opinion. Most all the right wingers that are religious that I've seen behave like soldiers notching their belt every time they kill an enemy with their gun. The right wingers must believe the more people they convert and put on their Bible belt, the more their God will like them and will let them into heaven. WHO is teaching that? I have heard it said the Muslims indoctrinate young children that way, but apparently the right wing Christians are the same? The right wing churches definitely do not deserve tax breaks! They are terrorists and enemies of democracy. It is like funding a group of terrorists and that is precisely what the GOP is now. Only with help from the billionaires like it was a thousand years ago as well, except they weren't billionaires. they were just rich. They may have owned just a couple of donkeys?

From my own experience in my long life, those who pass themselves off as Evangelicals, Christians, Catholics and Mormons are the most hate filled bigots I have ever met.

Funny, how "indecent and immoral" is always held up against females! In the airwaves, one is constantly bombarded with ads about "male enhancement." Anybody heard any objections to that as "indecent and immoral?" Prescribed online, shipped discreetly.
