As an example of why this matters: —Justices who upheld restrictions on abortion and reproductive rights are up in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. —Justices who have sided with proponents of abortion rights are up in Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

This is a machine to ethnically cleanse the country - and anyone who pretends otherwise is kidding themselves
