the non decision made by the supreme court in regards to the texas abortion law, that was facilitated in part by 45** being able to pack the court

had a certain voting segment decided to look past all the "flaws" of Hilary and just being butt hurt because their candidate didn't make it through the primaries , it's possible we won't be in this mess..

ahh if life was that simple

does suck that people have to swallow their convictions and hold their nose at the federal level
when the problem isn't third party candidates, as much as it is the current state of the Electoral College
I still think Rank choice primary voting would also help.  Trump rarely got more than 40% in the early primaries, but came to power with a big enough coalition of the crazies

When will these people learn that REAL change happens at the local level

While I'm 100% against the texas abortion thing...this part really takes the cake
the law tasks private individuals with bringing lawsuits against anyone who provides or “aids or abets” an abortion. Anyone who brings a successful lawsuit can collect $10,000 or more from the person who is found to have violated the law. The unusual private-enforcement scheme distinguishes the Texas law from other states’
WTF...how was it not thrown out because of this, seriously fucked up times

Apparently the private enforcement clause was added to specifically ensure the Supreme Court wouldn’t rule on it… expect other red states to follow suit with similar laws

The dems better put on their big boy pants and protect rights at the Federal level

I truly do not understand this law. How does it stand up (even ostensibly) to the claim that the person suing the “aborter” or “aborter enabler” could not possibly have standing? This seems like the easiest abortion law to throw out. It’s like someone burning down Sidehatchs house and Kosmo suing them despite the fact it wasn’t his house and he has no damages.

word is Kosmo's attorney speaks with a British accent...I'm fucked

Wait..in your analogy Kosmo, is suing the actual Arsonist (which we all know was Starsky) or the one who got caught close to the scene of the crime with a book of matches (which I have to assume is STC)

Here we go!!!!

Local Elections now matter more than ever, of course most red states vote against their best interest so...

My astonished rage cleared for a second and I realized that, according to this decision, states can pass all kinds of unconstitutional laws as long as they leave the enforcement to bounty hunters.
Jesus, we're back at the Kansas-Nebraska Act again.

worried your children are being taught Critical Race Theory?  pass a law allowing enforcement by citizen bounty hunters..

later rinse repeat

Because this is now the abortion thread (kinda fitting)

Stole this from Jason narducy as it’s such a great quote

“‘The unborn’ are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn”
Methodist Pastor David Barnhart

I do love how they closed this out
Reality check: It's Trump. So anything could happen — or not. He's conflicted on the timing and nothing is ever certain. But people who have been close to him for many years are lacing up for the next race.

so i wonder how big a wrinkle this presents: RNC chair says committee can’t pay Trump’s legal bills if he announces 2024 run

for someone supposedly as rich as TFG this shouldn't be a problem... but he haaaaates paying lawyers.  considers it wasted money so he gets other folks - like the RNC - to pay, if payment is to be made at all.  so he has a choice: declare soon and get some legal protections (or at least complications) but start paying out of pocket; or remain on the sidelines to continue having the legal tab picked up.  pretty sure he'll opt for the former.

declaring candidacy also has impact on how PACs can spend money and on what, but i wasn't clear how that works...
