    Paxton's attempt to force a Washington State hospital to give him records on trans minors from Texas they are treating, a step towards prosecuting people for violating Texas law while not in Texas, should be understood as having direct implication for those leaving the state for abortions.

    What do you suppose would happen if a state that has restrictive gun laws demanded that a state with less restrictive gun laws turn over information about people from the restrictive state buying guns in the less restrictive state?

    @Uncle Albert and @Lanzman would have kittens. They would just start shooting out of their butthole in protest. The mewling would be awful, except for the kittens who would be cute and adorable.

    The piece refers to the 5th Circuit as one of the most conservative courts in the country, but really it is the most extreme court in the country. Way out on the fringe of MAGA land, and because of venue shopping they have an outsized influence on the rest of the country.

    They won’t. And even if they did, it won’t matter. The wealthy need a large population of poor people.

    Within the next 2 decades, the US will become the shithole country other asshole heads of state bitch about.

    Democrats had a chance to codify Roe yet they spend every election cycle fear mongering about abortion, especially since the Dobbs decision, why do you think that is? I say it’s because they realize it’s a winning strategy and won’t hold Biden’s feet to the fire because it would distract from the Trump hat and that’s more important. So yeah, they’ll run on this and people will buy it without any thought and will probably win on this one issue. Trump probably doesn’t even give a shit about abortion and hasn’t really had any policy issues to bring up since 2015 and the Democrats will promise the moon like they always do. So the best I can hope for is that Kennedy is appealing enough to shake up the whole system because the LP is in too much disarray to be affective at any level. So we’ll see. A lot can happen between now and November and every election the stakes get higher and higher.

    This is actually quite true, but it neglects the reality Biden was all about making abortion illegal after Roe when he was a senator because he is part of the catholic cult. Dems like him are a reason no one ever did anything to codify it into law. In reality the boy is correct that Trump is probably a lot more pro-abortion than Joe. Now that he can pretty much drop the republican evangelicals as they have served their purpose he does not have any reason to actually oppose abortion. Joe Biden is a snake in the grass on these issues and has always been Anti-abortion and pro-religion. We know the reality, Trump dumps who he does not need when they become useless. Joe has Catholic fascist beliefs built into him. The only reason Trump has to not sign pro-abortion bills next term would be because he wants to have evangelicals cheer for him, but they are going to be a nagging killjoy on his next term because he does not want their shit. Of all people Trump has to appreciate the ability to get a mistress a quickie abortion and forget about her. Joe OTOH will be a lame duck president with a legacy to worry about, and he won't need to play pretend with the pro-abortion crowd. He needs his pass to heaven and the church will revoke it if he makes abortion legal. Religious scumbags like him do not become less religious before they die.

    If you are wanting abortion to be codified into law the only chance for it not to get vetoed by the next president is Trump who is only pandering to the religious right and has no more reason after he is elected.

    You people who believe Joe has swung progressive are idiots because just like Trump he is off the hook if he wins the next election, and Joe has always been a religious fascist. This is just one of the many reasons I have not wanted good old catholic scumbag Joe. He has always been as right as he can be on moral fascism of christianity. The only reason he has swung to the left on moral laws is he wants to be elected.

    To all the Biden Bros, just you wait until Joe can go full on old christian white motherfucker. At least Trump can be bought and finds christianity to be an anchor he only abides by when he needs to. Joe is a True Believer.

    The Democrats have been running on fear mongering over Roe the last few election cycles ever since the Dobbs decision. That and Trump hate is the only thing they have been running on. As for the Republicans, yes it’s true Trump hasn’t run on much either. I didn’t vote for Trump so I see no reason to have to defend him or the Republicans.

    I'll grant you that the Democrats could have codified Roe into law at various points in the past 40 years that it was around. But it generally was thought that there would be no need to since it was doubted that there would be a decision full-on-opposing Roe.

    You know it's not true that the Democrats had a realistic chance to codify Roe since Dobbs, because as explained elsewhere, a) an organized minority can stymie almost anything through the filibuster and b) the Democrats don't have a real majority in the Senate on this issue, since two centrists are anti-Roe.

    How is it you can put letters together to form words, then words to form sentence, yet still be so woefully stupid?

    Democrats are also campaigning on

    a UHC
    making state colleges and tuition free for in state students
    women’s reproductive rights (NOT limited to abortion)
    still fighting for civil rights

    The list goes on.

    And, since you cannot or will not acknowledge your Republican leanings, then please, tell us, what are Libertarians running on? Might want to keep in mind, most of the people I know personally are Libertarians and actively work on those issues. So, don’t try to lie.

    I have no idea what the LP is running on because they can’t get their shit together.and put up decent candidates. When they can do that I won’t be paying much attention to them.

    Actually, no. We will place the blame squarely where it belongs. FUCKING CONSERVATIVE LIARS on the Supreme Court who, under oath, swore they wouldn’t touch it.

    So, you’re not Democrat. You aren’t Republican - despite your tongue so far up trump’s ass I can’t tell if it’s yours or his in his mouth. You aren’t Libertarian.

    So, much like Star Wars and Star Trek, you have no idea what to do, but criticize anything anyone (Liberals) else does.
