Steve from Minnesota said the "other side" can "play the same game," as if right-wingers haven't protested Democrats -- and often engage in violent acts.
The caller was very obtuse. Nothing to argue but “slippery slope”. Like a misfiring robot stuck on one line. How does he manage to believe such after decades of violence, bombings and murders at women’s clinics from the Christian nationalist dominionist theocracy desiring R side? Sakina is correct, they live by a double standard sans any care of the bottomless abyss level of their hypocrisy. Brett is young, allegedly has enjoyed much and too much in life, rich kid, prep school, frat life, Ivy League bound, groomed for SCourt all his life, he likely feels plainly entitled to get or take whatever he wants. Young and fratty, it is hard to imagine he actually, really, truly has a passionate anti-abortion stance, but instead is just riding the waves where the rolling tide of purists Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Coney-Barrett take him on that topic. Roberts probably solidly aligned with those four. What a mess they’ve created with apparently little thought of all the legal court challenges ahead to iron out the details from state to state. Hopefully it has really motivated and energized the D world for equally radical midterm results.
I heard the program when this caller called your show. The longer he spoke the angrier I got. Ay first I thought he was a plant but as he spoke I realized that he was just very uninformed and stupid. All these extremists on the court are illegitimate, especially the three appointed by the maggot in chief. Thomas is in a class by himself as an angry, black man who is now doling out his revenge on the court. What a mess and people must VOTE.
I have no sympathy for any Supreme Court Justice who is protested. They took away women's rights, so let them see how people feel about their cruel, partisan rulings.
Steve sounds so disingenuous, playing dumb like he knows nothing about how much right-wing violence has occurred, from the bombing of abortion clinics, shooting abortion providers, to the Jan. 6th insurrection, which were not peaceful protests by any means. They love the double standard. It's okay if they protest no matter how extreme but not okay for us to protest peacefully. And yes, peaceful protest can be loud, yet now police in Montgomery County, Maryland are trying to clamp down on protesters of SCOTUS right wingers who live in that county claiming that they are violating a noise ordinance. Perhaps they were, but it's still peaceful protest. They can go home for the night and then return when the noise ordinance isn't in effect!
Indeed, violence-no, but public officials must expect to be assailed by protest from time to time. Responsible people and law enforcement must be sure the line is not crossed.
So now we are supposed to sit by like little children while the right wing destroys what little remains of our constitutional right to freedom of assembly?!? Fuck that! These people are truly incredible and wouldn't know Democracy if it hit them over the head, which is just what we need to keep doing!
Eff the G💀P & their opinions about everything. They always count on the Dems to play nice, & so far they haven't been disappointed. But the whole point to the old Popeye cartoons is that Bluto would always beat up on Popeye until he got mad enough to eat his spinach & then he would knock the hell out of him. In a war between reason & brute force, brute force will always win. It takes brute force to defeat brute force. The G💀P is a party of Bluto throwbacks. It's time for Dems to confront the fact that we are dealing w/ an army of Christofascist common chimps on a political rampage, take our gloves off, and when they go low, be there ahead of them & armed, metaphorically & otherwise, to meet them head on. Unless you welcome the tyranny of fascism & fundamentalist theocracy. As a gay woman, I sure don't. Now we have to consider whether or not to go on defensive birth control; contrary to popular belief there are a lot of femme lesbians passing under the radar as straight, & we are not immune from incel rape. At least most het girls on the pill are already somewhat protected if they're sexually assaulted. But w/o Roe, all women are tiptoeing across a sexual minefield. Even 10 yr olds. And the heads of the LGBT community are clearly on the chopping block. Let's start acting like this is the life or death situation that it is.
I must correct my misapprehension that Beer Breath Kavanaugh didn't know he was being protested outside since he wouldn't face the peaceful protesters when he exited the mob haven via the rear exit. That being said it gives credence to the notion from V for Vendetta that People shouldn't fear their government, that government should be afraid of their people. J6 bore that out. AOC was being harassed by Marge The Grifter (MTG) as well as Corrie Bush from the inside. The caller yet again displayed absolute ignorance from the defenders of the terrorists from the right...
Off topic. Wtf is wrong with the streaming service for your program. Previous episodes aren’t available for two days. They should be immediately. It’s gotten worse over time. Myself as I’m sure others prefer to listen post. The commercials are unbearable.

After your first few volleys, he realized he didn't think his thought through and just tried to save face. Sorry Steve, it's gone.
