“They’re being told this is just the beginning of what the right is planning. Next there will be a federal abortion ban.”

What Mike K said. There is a LOT of racism (and sexism and homophobia) still bubbling away inside the progressive mind but they’ve been temporarily displaced by other superiority trips. They’ve never really had to face up to it. The -isms all come down to thinking you’re better than someone/everyone else and there are other, more politically expedient, reasons for progressives to think they’re better but when it comes down to it, they’ll revert to the -isms, especially when it’s a black person or a woman or a gay/lesbian giving voice to the despised political narrative.

Clarence Thomas always brings out the racism of the left. He is hated because he has not "gone along to get along." I remember when Harry Reid said that some decision of Thomas was "poorly reasoned" when he had not even read it. The recent vitriolic racial taunts directed his way are more evidence. The left's insistence on "Diversity" and "Equity" as "improvements" in Affirmative Action are more subtle signs of their racism. Now the LA Times today has an article about whether California is "ready for blacks with legal guns."

In places like California and NY (and other smaller progressive bubbles) the herd has never had to think very deeply about their convictions. In places that are more mixed, you are more frequently confronted with other viewpoints. In the bubbles the herd starts to think there is no other legitimate POV because they never hear one, so it’s easier to demonize and illegitimatize and dismiss other POVs.

Democrats could have passed any law they wanted without fear of opposition, including legalizing abortion.

Again, I don’t think Congress can annul a state’s exercise of general police power by statute.

Cornhead – The vast majority of all lawyers everywhere are progressive. (I don’t think they’re liberal at all, so I don’t use that word.)

They aren’t. However, law professors are. I think in re BigLaw attorneys, the demarcating line is between firms that represent the energy industry and those which do not.

and suddenly they are poor because the dollar is no longer the reserve currency.

That’s not going to make anyone poor. The trouble is that unanticipated inflation is ruining people’s retirement accounts.

(2) They’re being lied to by leftist leaders and legislators and led to believe that this ruling does constitute some sort of abortion ban, and since a lot of people neither understand law nor follow its ins and outs, that lie gains some traction.

That’s definitely true here in Mass. You have Maura Healey, dem candidate for governor, claiming she’ll “fight” any abortion restriction knowing full well the only place it came come from is the state house and that’s full in dem control. Of course you also have our current Gov, Charlie Baker, a republican who passed an EO protecting health care providers from being extradited for performing abortions on out of state residents. (Note, performed in Mass. Why would the governor extradite anyone to another state for any legal service performed in mass in the first place is never said since it makes no sense but is good to scare idiots.)

They blame Trump but it was the fact that Hillary Clinton is the single worst candidate for president in the modern era. Had she but won her election the 1st and 2nd amendments would have been interpreted away by now and Roe would have become permanent.
