Devastating. She was an amazing woman. If the current administration get to pick the next SCJ, It’ll be a disaster.

I'm sorry, but do you expect a Democrat nominee to issue GC opinions?

Came here to post exactly this. Watching from Canada, I don't understand why the left is still so supported when they're the ones writing gender-based protections that overstep onto women's rights into law.

Because the right in this country is fascism? Because conservatives don’t support ANY women’s rights at all and want more than anything to eliminate legal abortion? Because other than the trans support shit, which hopefully will soon be relegated to fad status, the left is far more interested in crushing the patriarchy and the far left wants to crush free market capitalism in favor of socialism?

The Left has had a misogyny issue in this country since I can remember.

The Democrats did help women get their rights, but the Democrats' full-throttle support of gender ideology is incredibly dangerous to women now - beyond the heinous federal Equality Act, the Democrats have passed local and state laws that destroy women's right/safety/sports.

That said, the Republicans have their own Equality Act waiting in the wings, the Fairness For All Act, already in the US House.

Women's rights are screwed no matter who wins. It's just the Democrats can be a little saner on other issues.

Can you give examples of fascism on the right? At least any policies that support fascist ideas. (I'm genuinely curious)

Wrong. The American GOP, particularly under Donald Trump, is proto-fascist. Big leap of faith to take that to full-on fascism.

crush free market capitalism in favor of socialism

You say that as if it would be a positive societal development. If you think socialist political movements have an even mediocre track record on women's rights, go ahead and research the real-life Handmaids Tale that was Nicolae Ceaușescu's Romania.
