You are right that someone has proposes a federal legislative remedy but you were pretty far off on how and why.tequila4kapp said:

Bigger picture, I predict federal legislative remedies. Dem's will change the rules to not allow filibuster and they will get something passed. It will be too extreme. Repubs - after taking back Congress in the fall - will pass changes. Biden will veto it. At some point in the future - maybe 15-20 years from now - the federal law will settle somewhere more consistent with the populace. Lives will be impacted until then.
Lindsey Graham today: Introducing a national ban on abortion after 15 weeks, which would override the ability of liberal states to decide if abortion is legal and on what terms.

As politicians of all stripes tend to do, state legislators and governments are pushing past the boundaries of their electoral mandate. I don't know why they can't see the past examples and learn that passing deeply controversial and unpopular laws will come back to bite them in the butt in future elections, but they do it over and over.dimitrig said:Unit2Sucks said:

I think the SCOTUS made a big mistake, but let's not forget that these atrocities are preventable if the state legislatures get their heads out of their buttocks.

Wow. What a shyte thing to write. A reminder of why I have you blocked. So many posts, so little (zero) value.
Quote:
This past fall, when Lauren Miller of Dallas was 13-weeks pregnant with twins, she got horrible news. One of the twins had trisomy 18, a genetic abnormality that causes about 90% of fetuses to die before birth. The other twin was healthy.
She learned from a genetic counselor that continuing to carry both fetuses could put the healthy one at risk. She saw a doctor who specializes in high risk pregnancies who told her: "You can't do anything in Texas and I can't tell you anything further in Texas, but you need to get out of state."
That's exactly what she did. Miller traveled to Colorado and, at 15-weeks pregnant, she had a "selective reduction" procedure to help ensure her pregnancy with her healthy twin could continue.
When she returned to Dallas and continued her prenatal care, she found herself navigating silence around abortion. She wondered, if the ultrasound technician knew she'd traveled out of state for an abortion, could she get reported? "You don't know where anybody stands, so it feels like we're all kind of talking in code," Miller says.
What Miller did does not violate current abortion laws in Texas, legal experts say. But the fear among doctors and patients in the new legal landscape in Texas is extreme, to the point where as Miller found some doctors won't say the word "abortion" in the exam room.
Wow. An Idaho hospital says it will stop delivering babies due to “increasing criminalization of physicians” and doctor shortages resulting from the state’s abortion ban.

Another awful story of a woman in Texas forced to endanger her life to carry a non-viable fetus to term because the christian theocrats in Texas demand it. Really tragic and entirely predictable. She even confirms how late-term abortions are incredibly difficult to get and unavailable to her given her circumstances. As I've maintained for years (and have stated multiple times in this thread) the conservative boogey-man of late-term abortions is just fear-mongering and completely unnecessary. It's part of the Motte and Bailey conservatives use to control women through abortion.
I won't post the details but they are horrific and if any GOPer wants to know the inhumane circumstances they are forcing women to endure, feel free to read.
As also predicted by many, this isn't just impacting people with unwanted pregnancies, it is going to make pregnancy much less safe in America and in particular in the red states that pretend to care about unborn children.Wow.

A Trump-appointed judge just SUSPENDED the FDA's two-decade-old approval of the abortion pill Mifepristone. In one week, it will not be legally allowed to be distributed. This gives the FDA 7 days to appeal the ruling.

It's not because of indoctrination. If anything, it is conservatives that do all the indoctrination - at church and in private schools.
It is because young people are more educated than ever before but also more compassionate.
What conservatives call "indoctrination" the rest of us call an education. That doesn't necessarily even mean a formal education, although that it part of it. It just means people are more aware ("woke" if you will) about social justice issues, environmental issues, economic inequities, and so on.
What is ironic about this is that this environment of being inclusive, providing equal opportunities, and supporting the downtrodden is exactly what Christianity teaches. These violent gun-toting wealth accumulating racist fear mongers are not Christians.

Bruen:Quote:
I wonder if Supreme Court justices ever feel embarrassed, like when a ruling they made turns out to be shaky or ends up making them look like fools.
Take the case of the Bremerton praying coach.
Ex-assistant Bremerton High football coach Joe Kennedy is back to his ex status once again, having quit his job after just one game despite being reinstated to it by order of the Supreme Court itself.
The case was never really about Bremerton, or the Knights football team or students. It was about a national conservative legal campaign to push more religious doctrine into the public sphere.
It worked, too. What really happened in Bremerton a public school coach holding prayer circles on the field with everyone from students to politicians was ignored by a high court that adopted a version made for a Christian TV movie instead. It was a "siren song of a deceitful narrative," as one lower court judge rightly called it, that portrayed the coach as a lone sentinel persecuted for holding "personal, private prayer."
If that's what he'd been doing, it wouldn't have caused any fuss in the first place.
More to today's point, though, is that the high court was also warned how this would all end. The justices were informed last year in a legal filing that despite all the pieties about faith and coaching, Kennedy had no real intention of coming back to Bremerton to his old job, which should have rendered the case moot.
"There is no reason to believe that [Kennedy] ever will return to Bremerton to live and work," the February 2022 filing said, noting that he'd relocated to Florida. "[Kennedy] would therefore seem to be unable to accept a position as, or fulfill the year-round responsibilities of, a Bremerton High School football coach."
Kennedy's outraged lawyers told the justices this was a character attack. He was so devoted to coaching he'd be there on a day's notice.
"He is champing at the bit to resume the job he loves coaching high school athletes on the football field for BHS," they wrote. "It is really that simple."
The court went with simple. But Kennedy didn't take his job back when it was offered last year after the court ruling, and now this year is gone after only a game. He called it a "fine bow" on top of winning his case.
Here's what the moms found:Quote:
Last year, four days before the Kennedy ruling, the court struck a big blow against gun control by throwing out a New York law requiring a license to carry concealed weapons in public. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion, called Bruen, which argued that attempts at modern gun regulation are unconstitutional if they don't square with American historical gun traditions before 1900.
Thomas' own history review found there wasn't much significant gun regulation back in the day. But a team of volunteer researchers, from the gun control group Moms Demand Action, has been going around unearthing old gun laws from dusty city and state archives, suggesting Thomas was incomplete at best, maybe to the point of being wrong.
Quote:
A representative sampling: In the 19th century, the concealed carry of firearms was expressly forbidden in Memphis, Tennessee; Jersey City, Hoboken, and Plainfield, New Jersey; Chicago, Illinois; New Orleans, Louisiana; Olympia and Wilbur, Washington; and Denver, Colorado. More than 50 local governments outlawed the firing of any weapon within city limits. About 30 localities restricted or outlawed the storage of gunpowder, including Santa Ana. A dozen localities limited, heavily taxed, or banned shooting ranges. (In 2017, a federal appeals court struck down a Chicago law that restrictedbut did not outlawshooting ranges within the city, finding no "history and legal tradition" to support it.) More jurisdictions banned guns in private establishments; for instance, an 1817 ordinance in New Orleans barred citizens from carrying weapons into a "public ball-room." (In January, a federal judge blocked a New Jersey law that banned guns in bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues, finding that it was not supported by "the nation's historical tradition.")
These findings are the result of about one year's work by 20 volunteers. The numbers increase significantly when laws from early decades of the 1900s are included. In Bruen, however, Justice Thomas declared that all laws enacted after 1900 are not constitutionally relevant, because they do not "provide insight into the meaning of the Second Amendment."
This arbitrary cutoff hints at a broader problem for Everytown's project: It is unclear whether judges who avidly support a sweeping right to bear arms will care about evidence that contradicts their beliefs.
Obviously 80% of America's young people are baby killers, but don't worry, the reeducation camps will fix that.dajo9 said:
