		<description>&lt;I&gt;  &quot;The Supreme Court passed this issue back to the states,&quot; he said. &quot;The states have to act. This state has acted, and broad access is preserved here in New York.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

This is the story that Republicans want us to hear — but it doesn’t tell the whole story!  “The Supreme Court passed this issue back to the states — only because Congress had failed to codify the issue, themselves!”  Had Congress passed the legislation needed to guarantee a woman’s right to privacy and choice in this matter, the states would have no sayin the matter.  But Republicans haven’t just refused to do this, they have actively worked to strip women of their rights.  And they are not stopping there.  

MAGA — “Make America Great Again” — folks believe that America was last “great” when ONLY white men who owned land were guaranteed their rights and therefore they were the only ones who got to determine the rights of everyone else.  Republicans are fighting to make it 1776 again! 

Republicans have refused to pass legislation that would make marriage equality legal nationwide.  They refuse to pass legislation that would give all citizens equal protections under the law regardless of their race, sex, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation.  They claim that there is no need to pass laws guaranteeing what the court has already settled.  You know, like a woman’s right to choose…oh, wait!  For 50 years they said there was no need to pass laws guaranteeing a woman’s right to choose because SCOTUS settled the matter… but surely we can trust them that marriage equality is settled, right?  

Today’s  Republican Party — Taking bigotry to a whole new level!</description>

		<description>Only a truly lopsided result, one way or the other, will answer the potential  importance of &lt;i&gt;Dobbs.&lt;/i&gt;



Guys, there&#039;s a lot of football left to play.

Even if the media is desperate for instant gratification.</description>

		<description>Naw, only reason any one is paying any attention whatsoever is because it will be tomorrow&#039;s latest bright shiney object. For roughly 15 minutes. 



How many bright shiney objects have come and gone since the legions of pundits started insisting that Dems are toast come the midterms? 




You know, since January 22nd,  2021...</description>
