The End of Roe v Wade?

Could the Democrats have just signed the death warrant for the worst Supreme Court decision since Dred Scott? Quite possibly. Although the Democrats exempted Supreme Court nominations from today's sweeping curtailment of the Senate Filibuster, the Republicans have understandably made it crystal clear that they will not respect that limitation once they regain the majority. The threat of a Filibuster is the only thing that kept Republican presidents from nominating openly anti-Roe judges to the high court.

Of course we have to get through three more years of Zero's presidency. But I don't see any voluntary retirements from the more conservative members of the Supreme Court in that time frame. In any event me thinks things are about to get interesting in the courts.
