The thing is, once somebody proposes restricting the freedom of women to travel from one state to another, we actually don’t have to care about their ideas about marginal tax brackets or international trade or whatever

Look, it’s clear that US v Martinez-Fuerte got it wrong by any reasonable understanding of the purpose of the 4th amendment, and it came from a far less corrupted court. I have no doubt that the current court could extend it to cover the entire interior and for enforcement of arbitrary laws.
i mean, giving the president a free pass to commit a coup isn't in there either yet that is now the case so long as he uses the military in his official capacity as commander in chief
I liked the idea I heard yesterday of imposing the apartheid legal standards on proposals to create duel systems of law regarding women's right to choose.
That edit is just sitting there. Within me, like two old timey gunslingers stareing each other down, is both the urge to ignore it or delete/correct it. G'ah!
My thing is, the guy nominated for president exhorted a mob to go murder everyone in a building where a lot of my friends work, and his other party members and supporters are fine with that. I am never entertaining their ideas on trade, immigration, civil rights, etc. No one owes them a debate.
🙄 It’s insulting when someone says that in all seriousness. If I don’t have bodily autonomy, then nothing else matters. Some people just don’t have any sense at all.
I mean what if you Mum, best friend, whatever lives in the next state?
Surely some Republican women will think of that. Let alone work, travel, just general “FREEDOM” that the USA is supposedly based on!!
Yeah, their problem definitely is rooted in their belief that only some people deserve full human rights and the rest of us can literally F off and die.
The problem is that too few Americans find that disqualifying—and find it downright appealing.
Agreed, and in so doing they are also literally arguing that we should not be a country any more, and that we should go back to being a confederacy of states.
Personally I think their overall perfect status is a racist corrupt Southern mill town of 1904: pretty much no federal govt, no regulations, no income taxes, no voting rights, sheriff runs things on behalf of the mill owner, no infrastructure, no unions, and medicine is quacks & snake oils.
Yes, we can. We can do both and all. Making things worse here won’t solve anything over there. As a matter of fact, it will make it infinitely worse and we won’t take in any refugees if the GOP has their way.

Once you hit someone you don't get to finish to "see how you'd do the rest"

And we saw it happen and let it.
