Leaked SCOTUS memo, meet your leaked bumper sticker

I’d really rather rent a billboard, but that’s a bit beyond my budget. (Hint hint, a full-resolution vector version of my artwork is royalty-free for anyone sufficiently well-heeled to spring for that.)

This might work as a t-shirt, but would likely be hard to read on someone’s torso for all the moving and rippling of the fabric, leading to bug-eyed ogling stares even beyond what’s called for by the copy itself, to say nothing of possible violent reactions if the wrong right-winger did manage to make out a sufficient number of the words.

That leaves bumper stickers. Again, you have the readability problem, given the sheer number of reproductive-rights talking points here refracted through the lens of political-legal commentary.

But that might actually be an advantage. How so? Well, if we start from the premise that it’s more likely than the average bumper sticker to cause traffic accidents, and then mount a concerted campaign to promently place these stickers on cars found in the vicinity of Trump rallies, evangelical gatherings, Proud Boys circle-jerks, and anywhere that Alito, Phony-Baloney-Coney Barrett, or Ginny Thomas hang out…well, you can’t really expect that we could possibly have foreseen the well-deserved fender-bender havoc that might ensue?

Just a thought.

I do wish the default Medium post column width allowed for a larger image. The bigger it gets, the better it looks, and the stronger the reaction. Leaving me longing for that billboard once again.

Abort this Court: they’ve put the constitution’s health in danger
