What is going to happen when these folks get their prize, which is that Alabama and Louisiana will be allowed to force abortion clinics to have emitting privileges or something. And then allow companies to follow the gig economy model and make all their employees contract workers or some other shitty deal for workers.Most of my Bedford County brethren are just saying "Supreme Court" like it's some magical, mystical figure that's going to wave a magic wand and appoint Trump president again.
