Sam Alito to women: You are not without electoral and political power.

Women to Sam Alito: We heard you, bitch.

Although I’m happy with the results in Ohio, I agree with Roy the fact we’re not seeing more conservative hand-wringing about getting these heathens onboard the Forced Birth bandwagon is itself an ominous sign. It’s further indication they regard the days of persuasion as dead, and are working towards the day when persuasion is no longer necessary because they will be able to implement their policies without the consent of the governed.

Wisconsin is a benighted state, thanks to Scot Walker and gerrymandering, surrounded by more enlightened states. Watching the residents of Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois enjoy the blessings of liberty is making her citizens more and more dissatisfied with poor job prospects, declining public school and university quality, horrendous racism and 19th century reproductive laws. Slowly, the light is dawning in their Cheesehead brains that it is not unions, eggheads and Blacks that are depriving them of their neighbors’ advantages but the Republicans they foolishly put in charge, thinking they would be protected from the threat of scary change. They got the change they didn’t bargain for and they’re starting to get restive. Should the newly liberal state Supreme Court reverse the gerrymandering and restore reproductive rights, it may tip the the scales enough to start the process of rebuilding a progressive state its citizens can be proud of.

Or, the children will grow up and move away to Madison or out of state, leaving their elders to wonder where it all went wrong.

Oh, and fuck Charlie Sykes.
