That's what's different this time around.

Ah yes, how can I forget the famous conservative cause of aborting your tenants.

I mean, yeah, fucking working people over and generally being a piece of shit is the whole basis of American conservatism so that tracks pretty well.

Conservative ideology revolves wholely around the wishes of people highest on the social hierarchy having all power to fuck over those lower on the hierarchy. That includes in tenant landlord relationship.
You can't seriously pretend like conservatives aren't on the side of landlords

idk if you are trying to make a joke or you truly have been living under a rock for the last decade.
Yes, the thing "conservatives" are trying to conserve nowadays is crazy fascist and capitalist ideas. They would definitely rule against tenant protections.
I would like to think that they wouldn't dare touch such a local issue, but idk what to expect anymore.

It's utter BS but that's the situation that we find ourselves in. Roe v. Wade was precedent for decades until SCOTUS stepped in and found that it was so wrong that it wasn't precedent.

True, but this is less of a hot button issue on Fox News, where the rightwing grievances are developed before eventually becoming SCOTUS law.
Like we’re not talking about domestic violence abusers being denied guns or tech companies banning hate speech on their privately owned platforms, so I don’t think this will really get Alito’s juices flowing. We’ll see though.

It is an opportunity to screw with blue cities though. I'm sure that's more than enough to get Clarence and Alito excited.

Could be. Even this SCOTUS still denies the vast majority of cert petitions though.
