    That's not what he said. It is simply that if you are married to someone you have a legal right to (unless other factors enter in like illness) a physical relationship.

    This is why in a number of states if the wife or husband starts refusing to have sex with their spouse it can (and has) been the basis of divorce proceedings.

    Unless it's in the constitution, you ain't got a "right", to shit.

    One would PRESUME if you married someone, you courted them, and have sexual chemistry together, and sex would naturally proceed from that.
    But "hey, we're married, bitch, put out!! :mad:", that's caveman shit, and deserves all the ridicule this planet can muster.

    Franken: Jury's still out. I'm leaning toward he should resign and run again. If MN isn't sick of him they'll reelect him. If he doesn't resign it will leave a mark.

    Moore: let the voters decide. If elected it will be an interesting show, but I doubt they will expell him.

    Trump: nope, there are many better reasons to remove him from office but that isn't going to happen unless the midterms swing the house and senate. Even then it isn't going to happen unless he totally screws the pooch (or is discovered as having done so already).

    Clinton: He should have resigned for having an affair with the intern. He didn't. Justice wasn't really served but he didn't screw the pooch.

    Other jobs don't count as much. Career politicians' jobs are to serve the people. If baggage gets in the way of this they should be gone. Maybe the same for media stars and execs.

    et tu, Jeffrey?!

    “Transparent” actress Trace Lysette has accused actor Jeffrey Tambor of sexually harassing her on the set of the Amazon series.

    Lysette’s allegations mark the second time the star, who plays Maura Pfefferman on the critically acclaimed dramedy, has been accused of sexual misconduct. Earlier this month, Tambor’s former assistant Van Barnes accused the actor of sexual harassment in a private Facebook post, according to Deadline. Tambor vehemently denied those allegations, which Amazon said it would investigate.

    Tambor's response:

    For the past four years, I’ve had the huge privilege — and huge responsibility — of playing Maura Pfefferman, a transgender woman, in a show that I know has had an enormous, positive impact on a community that has been too long dismissed and misunderstood. Now I find myself accused of behavior that any civilized person would condemn unreservedly. I know I haven’t always been the easiest person to work with. I can be volatile and ill-tempered, and too often I express my opinions harshly and without tact. But I have never been a predator — ever. I am deeply sorry if any action of mine was ever misinterpreted by anyone as being sexually aggressive or if I ever offended or hurt anyone. But the fact is, for all my flaws, I am not a predator and the idea that someone might see me in that way is more distressing than I can express.​

    Why are taxpayers on the hook for this? This is something that the people in government should be paying out of their own pocket.

    You forget the 9th Amendment which effectively says that the people have rights not listed in the Constitution unless specified otherwise.

    Marital rape is illegal, so it's specified otherwise.
    I mean, there might be other ways to extract entitlement pussy from someone who doesn't want to give it, but I struggle to come up with any that aren't rapey.

    Once again, I've never claimed marital rape should be legal. Like I said the married spouse can use it as divorce grounds and violation of the marriage contract.

    Why marry someone you don’t want to have sex with? Sex is 5% of a relationship when you’re having it and 95% when you’re not. That doesn’t mean you can just take it whenever you want. If it become that big of a problem, it’s time for a talk.

    Yea I do. And if they don’t want to have sex with you then maybe it’s time to find someone else if the problem can’t be worked out.

    ... in the 1980s she was a sex bomb for sure. I'm afraid she's old and fat and wrinkly now.

    Indeed, the Bill of Rights does not enumerate rights that we are allowed; rather, it specifies certain rights that we are automatically assumed to have which the government is not allowed to fuck with. Any and all civil rights not mentioned in the Bill of Rights are simply assumed to exist.

    My wife has never said “no.” She is proud of that.

    I have never said “no” to here. I am proud of that.

    Only by mutual agreement would we ever abstain, and only for a time. That is what scripture says.

    yep - "withholding affection" or something along those lines depending on the state.

    That's exactly the opposite of the intention of the Constitution.

    Amendment 10

    "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

    Which literally means, "The Constitution does not contain an exhaustive list of all of your rights."

    Have you been fooling yourself that it's a "mutual agreement" that's preventing you from fucking your wife?

    what do you want? A medal or a chest to pin it on? BTW That's what Al was doing to that woman in the picture - pinning a military ribbon on her chest - people are just blowing it all out of proportion.
