That's spooky.
I'm amazed 40,000 year old proto-human bones still have intact DNA. Reductio ad absurdum, are these guys going to bring one of these guys to life? Seems like I've seen a
Twilight Zone episode like that.

Seems to me if the GOP were a person it would need to be committed to a compassionate asylum where it could live out its natural life in a rubber room. How could they not know usurping a Constitutional right from a majority of the population would be unpopular (even if those that usurped it perceive it as heroic)?
In the Wake of ‘Dobbs,’ Biden Leans on Familiar Excuses for Inaction ‘Rooseveltian resolve’ this is not.

During his campaign, now-President Biden loved likening his image to that of FDR. But when a rogue U.S. Supreme Court threatened to overturn the sweeping reforms of FDR’s New Deal, Roosevelt directly challenged their gross power grab by threatening court expansion coupled with expansive judicial reforms. The controversial move paid off; the Court subsequently backed down and FDR preserved the slate of New Deal–era reforms that kept the working class alive during the depths of the Great Depression and formed the basis for much more broadly shared prosperity in the subsequent decades.
Opposing today’s radical Supreme Court is no less high-stakes an endeavor. And yet, Biden, unlike his self-proclaimed role model, thus far refuses to unabashedly employ all legal and political means to fight back, particularly if they are controversial or polarizing. The president has many options at his disposal, like declaring a national emergency, limiting the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction, or providing abortions on public lands, but there is little sign they are even under consideration.

Though Ronald Reagan was the first to appoint a woman, Sandra Day O'Connor to SCOTUS, Biden Supreme Court appointee Ketanji Brown Jackson is now the 4th woman currently serving, all four women Democrat appointees. Thus the ideological divide coincides with the 5:4 male : female split.
The Roberts court that revoked a woman's right of choice includes associate justices that swore under oath that Roe was settled law. Isn't that perjury to subsequent overturn Roe?
There's no enumerated Constitutional limitation to 9 SCOTUS justices, the current complement. While it's exceedingly bad form to switch such fundamental Constitutional right on and off, it's also exceedingly bad form to allow this flagrant ideological usurpation of this fundamental right of choice to stand.
Biden could increase the U.S. Supreme Court from 9 to 11, thereby shifting the majority of the court to the side of sanity, justice, and the will of the People. The woman's right of choice imposes no restriction or hardship on any woman. When Roe was the law of the land a woman could attend to her own medical needs as she wished.
It is pseudo-con Republicans that paid lip-service to smaller less intrusive government, that lunge to this arbitrary, authoritarian usurpation, apparently with self-righteous though unmistakably hypocritical, unprincipled pride.
No need to wonder what a human with a spine made of jello is like. There's one at 1600 Penn Ave, in Washington DC.
Say No to Joe in Twenty Fo?
