Women disrupt Supreme Court arguments to protest Dobbs decision

[Ohio Joe]

At the start of oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, several women rose out of their seats inside the courtroom to voice their opposition to this summer’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

The courtroom is once again open to the public after the Covid-19 pandemic, and the women were seated at the back of the courtroom.

“I respectfully rise to denounce Dobbs,” the first woman who rose said. “Women, vote!” She was taken away from the courtroom by security.

Another woman rose seconds later to say: “The right to be choose will not be taken away. Women, vote for your right to choose.”

A third rose shortly thereafter: “We will restore our right to choose. Women of America, vote!”

1. The 6 Justices Couldn't Care Less

They have lifetime appointments, and nobody can overrule them. They probably smiled as the protesters were being thrown out. I hope they don’t face charges, since unlike the Justices, or their wives, they’re not above the law.

7. But they were addressing other women, not the justices.

I don’t disagree that Alito, et. al. don’t care. But non-violent protest has a history in America, including in the women’s suffrage movement that resulted in the 19th Amendment. I see these women’s protests in that tradition.

Vote!

2. Are you ladies trying to make Justice Alito cry?

He's a sensitive soul who only wants to make women second class citizens with fewer rights in the eyes of the law than an undifferentiated cluster of cells. Is that so wrong? (It's wrong. Very wrong.)

3. It WILL make Alito cry, if he learns that that SC decision riles up enough women

to put a stake through the heart of the Republican party.

5. Well, fuck his feelings...

They wanted to throw this back to States Rights and the democratic impulse...well, I suspect they're about to get ALL THE FUCKING DEMOCRACY THEY ASKED FOR, right upside their states right little heads.
