In their Dobbs decision ruling, they said that the issue of abortion should be left up to the states. Taking on the personhood issue would be the federal government making that decision across the board.

It really is that simple! Lots of people misunderstand the Dobbs ruling! The conservative court simply believes strongly in giving more power to the state governments rather than enshrining all kinds of rights federally!

Your job as a citizen of a country with a Supreme Court that believes that:

care more about your state elections and less about federal ones!!!

It's just reality for the foreseeable future, it is what it is. You still have the power, you just can't affect what citizens in other states decide to do as much as you used to be able to.

Change how you look at politics, the Supreme Court you are stuck with insists that you do!

They will have no choice.

It goes like this.

At a public clinic in The Bronx a prospective patient is identified by facial recognition AI and handed an Order To Show Cause why Applicant (John Catsimides) should not be named guardian ad litem for Baby X for purposes of seeking an injunction against the impending deprivation by State action of the right to life, without the due process guaranteed by the 14th amendment to all PERSONS. (See what I did there?).

Filings, blahblahlah, emergency hearings blahblahblah, expedited briefing schedules, blahblahblah, hello Sam Alito.

Thus raising for unavoidable judicial consideration the personhood claim, the decision on which will, of necessity , apply everwhere.

US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett denied an emergency challenge to the Biden administration's student-debt relief program by a Wisconsin taxpayers group https://t.co/syoc9jUCRr

JUST IN: Amy Coney Barrett has swiftly denied a Wisconsin group's bid to block Biden's student-loan forgiveness plan. Barrett (who handles emergency requests from Wisconsin) acted on her own, without referring the case to the full court or seeking a response from the government. https://t.co/utBzg4AhAp

Look again at what I said about voting for state government being more important than federal with this Supreme Court.

They're all going to start using this line now - it's very clever wording!

Many of your 'rights' that aren't explicitly mentioned by the Constitution are going to be by state for the foreseeable future, not the Federal government. It is what it is. It's over and done, spilt milk. If you wanna blame someone for that, blame those who didn't get out and vote for Hillary in the swing states.
