The Right Hates Lori Lightfoot But Loves Trump—I Wonder Why

KAMIL KRZACZYNSKI

The right-wing outrage machine—which to this day promotes the Big Lie and excuses the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol—performatively clutched its pearls and condemned Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s figurative “call to arms.”

In response to the recent Supreme Court draft opinion that will likely overturn Roe v. Wade, Mayor Lightfoot, who is Black and lesbian, tweeted a warning: “To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community—the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms.” The mayor followed that statement up with another tweet, adding, “We will not surrender our rights without a fight—a fight to victory.”

First, she’s absolutely correct to take Republicans literally and seriously when they’re transparent about their plan to roll back our constitutionally protected rights. Justice Samuel Alito, who penned the infamous draft opinion that will likely overturn Roe v. Wade, has publicly expressed his disgust over gay marriage. He’s joined by Republican Sen. John Cornyn, who shared his criticism with Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark 2015 Supreme Court decision that allowed marriage equality, during the confirmation hearing of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

  • Hiltzik: Why we need term limits for Supreme Court justices The Supreme Court’s now-confirmed intention of overturning the half-century-old protection for abortion rights in Roe v. Wade is energizing the debate over how to rein in the court’s extreme conservative slant. Expanding the court beyond its current complement of nine justices has long been the most widely discussed option. Another idea may be gaining traction, however: Eliminating the justices’ right to lifetime appointments by imposing a term limit. This option, which has been discussed for decades, received its most recent airing in March at…
  • The Supreme Court leak and the perpetual attacks on American institutions While the leak of the draft Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is not more impactful than the possible decision itself, its magnitude should not be minimized. To say the leaked draft opinion with five justices overturning the landmark decision was a breach of etiquette is a massive understatement. For a full draft on a case of this magnitude prior to a final ruling to come out like this is unprecedented.For context, it’s almost comical how tight-lipped the court…

The chief justice has already ordered an investigation of the leak this week of a draft opinion suggesting the court could be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case legalizing abortion nationwide. What comes next could further test Roberts’ leadership of a court where his vote already appears less crucial in determining the outcome in contentious cases. “This is a time when the…
