They knew this would happen. They told us this would happen. What they did: Vote to confirm anyway. What they didn't do: Push through bills to mitigate or obviate the doom they promised was coming for us all. stutefishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652736633374020671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-35690826292189547602022-06-27T12:21:24.201-05:002022-06-27T12:21:24.201-05:00The population of Maine is barely over a million p...The population of Maine is barely over a million people. She doesn't represent millions of women. She may think she represents all women, but she doesn't. She represents the citizens of her state and when she is taking actions to further the interests of Californians, then she is doing all of her constituents, including the men, a grave disservice.<br /><br />And all of this is horseshit anyway. If Gorsuch and Kavanaugh promised her not to overturn Roe and Casey, then they're unfit for the court and she should have not voted to confirm them. If she did anyway, then she was derelict in her duty as a senator. Obviously, they made no such representations and this is all just a big CYA for Collins so she can pretend that she's a victim instead of acknowledging that she voted for well-qualified nominees who she thought might overrule Roe and Casey if it came up even when they did not say what they would do either way.

If you receive and executive pardon or clemency for dealing heroine, does that mean you are free to deal heroine the rest of your life?<br /><br />This is the absolute moronic state of our Chief Executive here in Wisconsin. The guy who burned Kenosha. Only the education establishment could produce a moron like Tony Evers.<br /><br />The WI GOP should quickly pass "up to 14 weeks" quickly. But, they are morons too. Evers wouldn't be unable to sign it because of pro-infanticide late term abortion advocates in Madison would freak out. The GOP should dare him not to negotiate, and then let him start handing out clemency.

If not, you stop here<br />2: How should this right be implemented in the modern world<br /><br />Do you have a right to keep the government out of your person and property absent a legitimate court order? Yes<br />Then the gov't putting a GPS tracker on your car w/o a warrant is a violation of the 4th Amendment<br /><br />Do you have a right to freedom of speech and writing? Yes<br />So the gov't can't censor you on Twitter <br /><br />Do you have a right to keep and bear arms? Yes<br />So the gov't can't stop you from owning an AR-15 or a Glock 17<br /><br />Do you have a right to have an abortion? No<br />The right did not exist when the Constitution was ratified. It did not exist when the 14th Amendment was ratified, or when any of the earlier Amendments was ratified<br />It is not explicitly written into the US Constitution (unlike equal treatment, which IS explicitly written in to the Constitution. Which is why Brown was right, and Plessey was wrong, even though many of the States that ratified the 14th had legal segregation when they ratified it. "Current practice" doesn't beat "literal words in the Constitution"<br /><br />So when someone says "why do you have these modern things protected, but not abortion", they're completely missing the point. They're skipping over step 1 and going straight to step 2.<br /><br />And that's just not correctGreg The Class Traitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222722152851867806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-81564125714315143132022-06-27T09:45:52.096-05:002022-06-27T09:45:52.096-05:00I think it's important to remember that Sotoma...I think it's important to remember that Sotomayer, Kagan and Brown-Jackson also made similar "settled law" noises regarding the 2A during their hearings.
