politics nation. the focus on scotus. afua right now the conservative members of the supreme court are signaling that this court will not be moved by the times in which we live, but driven by history regardless of how distant. and yesterday, as expected, the court issued its five for conservative majority decision to overturn roe v. wade. in doing so, up ending 50 years of federal protections for abortion rights. in response, this weekend, our cities are erupting in protest. here in new york, los angeles, atlanta, and in washington, where abortion rights supporters and opponents have surrounded the supreme court for the second day. but also they re protesting in more than a dozen red states, cleared by the decision to enact trigger laws banning abortion. six of which have already done so in the days since the decision. three others set to join them in the next few weeks. well gun advocates in those states and elsewhere are hailing another of the courts decisions, this week, t
