   All roads lead to Trump for stacking The Supreme Court with ultra conservative justices.
   
   Will they lose the black votes for overturning Affirmative Action?
   
   Will they lose student's and parent's votes for overturning The Student Loan program?
   
   Will they lose LGTBQ votes for giving religious web designers the right to refuse LGTBQ patrons?
   
   Will they lose non-believing  voters for granting religious people the right to not work on Sundays?
   
   Do you see where this is headed?  These can all be used as precedents for even more extreme rulings and bans.  This could just be the start of a right wing takeover. These people are there until they die or retire...Thank you Trump.

      Pretty much a gimmie -- the majority of Blacks vote Democratic -- Period
      
      "Will they lose non-believing  voters for granting religious people the right to not work on Sundays?"
      
      I think this one will pick up votes in the Republican column. 
      
      "Will they lose student's and parent's votes for overturning The Student Loan program?"
      
      This is a toss-up, I am sure many people that wanted some free cash (On the taxpayer's dime)  will vote out of vengeance. But, one must take into account many dyed in the wool republicans that owe school loans --- will vote for their party.
      
      PLUS --- Biden had no right to put out false hope to Americans in regard to paying off student laws.  "  Justice Roberts uses Pelosi's words against Biden in smackdown of student loan handout"
      
      "Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts cited former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in his majority opinion to help explain why President Biden’s student loan handout was unconstitutional.
      
      On Friday, Roberts released the Supreme Court’s opinion blocking Biden's student loan forgiveness plan, one of the president's major campaign promises.
      
      In the opinion, Roberts cited then-Speaker Pelosi’s words saying the president did not have the power to cancel federal student loan debt.
      
      "As then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi explained: ‘People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not,’" Roberts quoted Pelosi’s July 28, 2021, press conference. "‘He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress.’"
      
      "Aside from reiterating its interpretation of the statute, the dissent offers little to rebut our conclusion that ‘indicators from our previous major questions cases are present’ here," Roberts wrote, citing Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s concurring opinion."  Source   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/justic … an-handout
      
      "Will they lose LGTBQ votes for giving religious web designers the right to refuse LGTBQ patrons?"
      
      For sure...  But they were more likely to vote Democratic anyway.
      
      My other thought --- this will be old news with some, and who in the world knows what shape the country will be in by 2024? 
      
      I mean we have all kinds of political scandals weekly --- on both sides.

      I wonder what there are more of in the country... those who support Affirmative Action, Reparations, and Equity... and those who don't.
      
      One side is pushing for the extremes while the other is trying to cancel them out... the new and the old.
