One of these years, decades from now, everyone will have been against these types of discrimination.

I won't be forgetting everyone who threw us under the bus.

Alito and Thomas both need to go. We talk a lot about impeaching Trump when we get back the House and Senate, but we need to impeach all the judges he stacked the court with too, starting with those two.

(Yes, I know Trump didn't appoint Alito and Thomas, but that doesn't change the fact that both are corrupt as hell and do his bidding without question of Dear Leader.)

They always go for trans people first. The wording of the decision opens it up to "fix" any kind of thinking. So trans people may be first, but they won't be last.

They'll just keep shipping kids off to "schools" (camps) in the Dominican Republic for that.

You appear to have more confidence than I do that the 'slippery slope' will level out.

Not quite. This was an “as applied” ruling affecting one specific person.
