DAYLOG TUE 26 MAR 24: It seems unlikely that Joe Biden is sweating the election looming in November, Donald Trump's disintegration being obvious for all to see. However, that's not the same thing as saying Biden is complacent. [1/8]

As discussed by Asawin Suebsaeng & Adam Rawnsley in ROLLING STONE, one big concern is that Trump will again scream: "ELECTION FRAUD!" -- and try to steal the election, because of course he will. It won't work, but it could cause a lot of trouble. [2/8]

As a result, the Biden Administration is leaving nothing to chance, "war-gaming" a close-election scenario, and setting up a legal infrastructure to make sure Trump doesn't get traction. Will it really be a close election? Doubtful, but no taking chances. [3/8]

The doctors claimed that they didn't want to have to deal with the possible complications suffered by female patients. In the first place, however, the rate of complications is very low; going through a pregnancy is much more hazardous. [5/8]

In the 2nd place, the doctors were under no compulsion to prescribe mifepristone, and more to the point their hesitations about the drug were not and could not be a basis for proposing that it be banned everywhere. [6/8]

Apparently, even most of the conservative SCOTUS justices take a dim view of this lawsuit, and the court is likely to reject it. However, mifepristone will remain banned in the dozen or so states with tough anti-abortion laws. [7/8]

One wonders if the conservative SCOTUS justices are having second thoughts about overturning ROE V WADE. It was obvious at the outset that doing so would lead to endless trouble -- but clearly not everyone sees that as obvious. [8/8]

I think they realize that having women dying because of problem pregnancies and obgyns and >18 yr old women fleeing red states in 2024 is counterproductive to their goal of conservative rule over a democratically elected populace. That dog ain’t going to hunt.

In response to Angela Baker.
I doubt they've thought it out that far. To the extent the MAGA trolls think things out, they don't always make any sense, though it's guaranteed to be ugly.
