If roe vs. Wade is overturned.

[brewer]

And of course -- we may be forgetting -- although everybody here agrees on what's reasonable, a hell of a lot of Americans have wanted to overturn Roe for a long time. 

Yeah, but they're sub-human Nazis.

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You're more like the bumbling Italians.

I'm sure conservatives are frothing at the mouth to rid us of Roe v. Wade, Obergefell (at least if RBG doesn't last until Trump's term is up), and Brown v. Board of Education.

If it happens, I think it delegitimizes the Supreme Court. They become a political body who's whims matter more than precedent.

That, and the biggest March on Washington in History will occur.

I've never heard anyone say they want to get rid of Brown vs Board of education.

As for conservatives, half of Republicans now favor roe, as I linked in another post.

Should we have term limits on judges, at least on the supreme court, in light of its politicization?

Absolutely.

It would further divide us and perhaps irreparably damage our unity.

tRump being POTUS has already guaranteed that happening.

Meh, they said the same thing when FDR won a third term.

It would serve them right.

But how many have shown any willingness to stand up for reasonableness and against the dumbass in the white house.  They're all tainted.

If roe vs Wade were overturned, what would be the political ramifications. I don't mean people having to cross statelines or have back alley abortions. I mean would there be serious sustained riots? Would California vote for secession?

Yes and yes.
In a number of conservative states, state lawmakers have made it so difficult to obtain a legal abortion that it's already effectively outlawed there.
The idea that we could go backward any further than we already have on this issue is unthinkable.

In the current political atmosphere it is foolish to regard something as unthinkable unless one is prepared to go farther, be more extreme, inflict more damage, accept more collateral casualties, have fewer scruples and go more directly and and savagely for the jugular in preventing it than prepetrators a willing to in order achieve it.

If you are not willing to kill to prevent something, don’t count on it being stopped.

Maybe I am a Pollyanna, but I'd like to think we are more resilient than that.

FDR wasn't half the embarrassment that DJT is.

If this country had any sort of resiliency the last 22 months wouldn't have happened the way that it has.
