PenisWenisGenius,

Tennessee does not deserve to have an element on the periodic table named after it.

Jesus Christ.

As a Tennessean… fuck Bill Lee. I’m so sick of this shit.

My wife damn near died a few years ago when an ectopic pregnancy ruptured. It would have been a wanted child. If this happened today, I’d lose a wife and our two kids would lose a mother.

Fuck the Republican Party. Fuck anybody who associates with them. Fuck any loser who spouts “both sides” or “genocide Joe” bullshit.

How is this even defensible? With my biggest stretch of open-mindedness for the ignorant, I can understand the argument that Christians don’t want their taxes funding abortions for those on state aid.

Slingshot and trafficking laws make it abundantly clear that this is about nothing but control, and I’ve yet to read or hear an argument to the contrary.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

It also violates the interstate commerce clause of the constitution, but good luck getting the SC to rule against it.

We’re rapidly sinking into an inescapable hell hole. This is what it looks like to truly have freedoms be taken. It will only get worse from here.

quindraco,

The law is illegal federally, but unfortunately, the necessity of standing means it can’t be challenged until someone’s on the hook.

conditional_soup,

And… Well… [Gestures wildly at this SCOTUS]

I wonder if we slip Thomas a margherita and a twenty if that’ll be enough to buy some influence.

EvacuateSoul,

Is he that into pizza or what?

homesweethomeMrL,

Take a lap

SpaceBishop,

Historically, that would be true, but this SCOTUS is wild. Standing doesn’t mean much anymore. Take, for example, the recent ruling from the anti-lgbt web developer in the 303 Creative v Elenis decision. Smith had not started a business at the time the original suit was filed, and, after she had begun operating, shr did not have any requests to make such a wedding site as described in the suit. During an appeal, she provided a false request – for a man already married to a woman – as her standing. Her standing was obviously bullshit; she had none.

Not that it really helps. Our current SCOTUS will certainly not agree to hear a case that could actually benefit us and defend our civil rights. We should probably start fresh with a new SCOTUS if we want any of that.
