Opinion: These GOP justices don't want to hear what Michigan voters think about abortion
Republicans spent 50 years arguing that the fate of abortion should be up to Michigan voters.
Now they've decided that would be a terrible idea especially in this critical election year.
But it's a little late to defuse the time bomb that began ticking more than two months ago, when conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices tossed the abortion question back to individual states. And unless pollsters are wrong, hundreds of thousands of Michigan voters are poised not only to restore the abortion rights the Roberts Court eviscerated, but to enhance them, sweeping away the restrictions and regulations Michigan's Republican legislators spent three decades erecting.
How could this happen? How has the reversal of Roe v. Wade the prize abortion opponents began pursuing when Richard Nixon was president turned into the GOP's biggest nightmare?

In Nov of 2016 I consoled myself over Hillary losing the election with one thought: Trump will manage to piss off so many people his re-election is doomed.
The 2018 mid-terms flipping the House added to that belief.
The VAST turnout of voters in 2020 wasnt FOR Biden.
It was because so many came to HATE Trump!
Trump lost because he was Trump; a man defined by vengeance and cruelty.
