   People, not all people but most people, are angry about the wrong thing.
   
   I agree that Roe v Wade being canceled is a bad outcome. I agree that women should have the right to their bodies, but here's my possibly unpopular take:
   
   A Supreme Court that doesn't give a damn what the public wants ... is exactly what a Supreme Court is for, actually.

     True enough. But elected representatives in government *are* supposed to do what people want, that's why they get elected. If they had fulfilled their obligations to actually represent the citizens' wants then the Supreme Court wouldn't have to act at all.
     
     It all boils down to a need for #ProportionalRepresentation with multi-member districts so all views are represented in goverment.
