The SCOTUS's authority is found in the Constitution, so if you don't recognize it, then you also do not recognize the Constitution itself. There is so much you don't understand, but I'm not in the mood to wade through your word salad of leftist buzzwords to explain basic civics to you. Cry and seethe more.
Minus the consent of the governed, SCOTUS' authority is non-existent. Tyranny of the minority can only continue to bend the system for so long until it breaks entirely.

You seem confused as to who is actually the majority in this country. I know if you only watch the corporate media and spend hours on Twitter, you would be led to believe that the left is the majority, but those are just echo chambers. If the left were really the majority, we would be forced to carry vaccine passports and all of our guns would be confiscated already.

I'm sitting here laughing because I know if they would have ruled the way you wanted them to, you'd be singing a different tune today. At least average Americans have a front row seat to see just how much the left despises the Constitution.

Telling us you were wrong about who the majority is, without saying you were wrong about who the majority is.
Right now, the majority of the country hates the current (p)Resident and his party. You sir, are in the minority and it will shrink further in the coming weeks and months.

Not at all confused, a Republican hasn't won the popular vote since 1988.

What liberties do you think you have lost?
Freedom of self-determination, and freedom from religion/religious authoritarianism. It's a deeply personal issue that the state should have no part in, and if the state is legally allowed to step between people and their doctors, we will be losing more medical autonomy soon.

(Yes this turned into another discussion on abortion at some point.)

If you're a dude, it doesn't affect you. If you're a bit of a ho and live in a state where abortions will be banned - perhaps think to use protection before having unprotected sex. If your'e upset that you can't kill a defesless baby that can't defend itself - well maybe you have bigger issues to deal with.
If you don't like the laws where you live, move somewhere else - problem solved.

This affects everybody, it's a play to create more desperation and poverty among the working class so that we'll settle for less pay and fewer rights.

I could say the same to anybody who is aching to live in a theocratic fascist hellhole. Creeping authoritarianism is not something that can just be ignored. Until such a time when this flaming turd of a decision ends up right back on the doorstep of the elites, we'll just have to use our right to bear arms to defend all our other rights and liberties.

It doesn't affect a man unless he gets a girl pregnant and doesn't want her to have a kid - even then it's still not his choice in the end. You don't live in a fascist hellhole, if you were a muslum women living in Afghanistan or a Uyghur living in China I could sympathise, but you live in USA. The first part of your reply is nothing but a conspiricy theory and bears no resemblence to reality.

Abortion was never a constitutional right. It was completely made up by 9 unelected white men in the 70's.

That is one small part of the way it affects men, but again, if it affects the economy and working conditions in general, it affects everybody. Millennials and gen Z are largely choosing not to reproduce, and this decision allows the state to override that choice.

It remains a human right and a necessity in any developed country. Besides, banning it won't mean the end of abortions, it'll only mean the end of safe abortions. I suppose that's the point though: to make women who don't want to go into poverty for the sake of the economy suffer.

If you are worried about the economy, the Dems are ruining it and devaluing your currency by printing trillions of dollars. Also your taxes are being sent to Ukraine, a country that was never in NATO and never paid a single cent towards NATO. Your polticians have shares in Arms companies and your tax dollars are being siphoned away to make their bank accounts larger.
Your country has an extremly large amount of food processing plants that have been destroyed since 2021, you have been made prisoners in your own homes by Democrats and they tried to force you to get vaccines, your shelves are bare, gas prices are at an all time high, you abandoned your allies in Afghanistan, you were independant with your energy - but cancelled yourselves. There's lots more things I could mention - but under the Democtrats your country is being destroyed from within. So if you want to fix the economy - don't think killing unborn babies is the answer, it's not.

What about the right of the life being murdered, that's human rights. It might be an inconveince to someone that doens't want a kid - maybe these women should be steralised if they don't want kids.

i go to my local 7-11 during the day but not at night. the worker would not let this woman in. so she got her boy friend and he had a machete the poor worker got hurt real bad. so if your working anytime and don't feel safe have a gun on ya... but having a license on you is still a drag but it's to save a life. YOUR OWN LIFE. also i hate where i'm living at....

It's your religious right to believe that a ball of cells is the same thing as a human. Hell, believe that a sperm is a thinking, feeling, living being with a soul for all I care. That right ends where somebody else's religious beliefs (or lack thereof) begins.
