Now, I understand that the issue is abortion rights, etc., but this thread is about a supreme court decision. It seems to me that this was a one-two punch by the right via the supreme court - 2nd Amendment and then abortion.
How many gangstas in Chicago or New York ever worried about gun laws there? They'd go to a state that has looser gun laws to get their guns. The abortion decision is similar, if your state has stricter laws, then go to a liberal one to do your business.
Tit for tat but in your face extreme. More division, more lines drawn except these are some big lines their drawing with these back to back decisions.
Why now? Why this extreme?
I think it may be designed to wake the Right up to the danger the nation is in, and motivate them. Right wingers are generally pretty laid back and laissez-faire until you take a shot at one of their sacred cows. Then they swarm.
The left, in contrast, is never "hands-off", as their entire raison d'etre is to get up all in YOUR business and micromanage your life to THEIR satisfaction.
The left, of course, is and will use these decisions to whip their own troops into a fine frenzy, get them frothing and foaming over a "threat to Democracy", which neither of these decisions are - they are actually an affirmation of democracy, and a refutation of centralized tyranny. They remove the authority from the Central Planning Comittee Comrades, and place them both back in the hands of the people, where the Constitution says they rightfully belong. That, however, won't matter, because most apartchiks, Left or Right, only hear and believe what their fearless leaders tell them to hear and believe, so the spin is going to be strong on these ones going into election season.
And then there is the sudden and suspicious re-emergence of "Q" just in time to whip the opposing teams up into a frenzy just in time for that same election season...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
