Violating the norms of decent society has been a feature of the Democrat party for some time.  But what has taken hold is the fear of being primaried by a complete left wing nut socialist so the leadership has to go along to remain in power.  As I pointed out the irony of their protests is the reality that Roe v Wade was enacted by the votes of five, old white men.  Prior to then the issue was decided by elected officials on a state by state basis.  This decision simply returns to those norms.  It does not make abortion illegal.  Abortion restrictions will be decided by who the people of a state vote into office.....the way it should be done.  

What the leftists are really saying is that they only oppose SCOTUS when it doesn't do what it wants.  They perfected legislating from the bench by appointing activist judges.  They are protesting originalists for pushing back against activism and once again putting the onus on elected officials to do waht they were voted into office to do.  Frankly I think this is a losing issue for Democrats in the mid-terms and 2024.  People are far more concerned about inflation, their decimated retirement savings, the crisis at the border and other kitchen table issues.  And they are not going to believe the lies being told about what the ruling does nor the blame game on economic issues.  The govt media complex no longer controls the narrative.  Democrats on the far left that run the party right now are concerned about abortion and climate change....issues not in the forefront of the minds of the American people.
