It’s good guy with guns all the way down.
No, because then you’re murdering the zygote embryo blastocyst fetus person that the law protects!
It’s getting very difficult to keep track of who I’m allowed to kill and who I’m not.
That depends. Are you white or a minority? Christian or some other religion?
Kill 'em all and let God sort them out. Wait, but not the zygotes.
Shoot the hostage fetus. Take him out of the equation. Go for the good wound and she can’t get him into the abortion clinic.
I say we put the abortion clinic on a bus that never goes below 50 mph. Can’t shut it down because it would be interfering with interstate commerce.
You can kill anything with more than 3 legs.
Note that this isn’t just a law its meant to be an amendment to the state constitution. The guy listed as the Bills first sponsor is a real piece of work. This isn’t his first trip to crazytown.
He proposed repealing the section of the NC constitution that prohibited NC from seceding which was put in place as a precondition of NC rejoining the union after the civil war
On Facebook he called Seattle BLM protesters ‘thugs’ and ‘vermin’ and suggested police ‘shoot’ those resisting arrest.
He posted a comment on April 11, 2017, stating that North Carolina should uphold traditional marriage “in spite of the opinion of a federal court that had no business interfering.” Pittman’s post in reference to the U.S. Supreme Court led to several comments on states’ rights and a post telling Pittman that the Civil War. Pittman responded in a post on April 12, 2017, saying: “And if Hitler had won, should the world just get over it? Lincoln was the same sort if [sic] tyrant, and personally responsible for the deaths of over 800,000 Americans in a war that was unnecessary and unconstitutional.”
On climate Change: “Our climate runs on a cycle. It goes up and it goes down and the Lord designed it that way. And the main thing that causes global warming is the Earth’s relationship to a big ball of gas that’s burning out there that we call the Sun. And it is the height of hubris for human beings to think that we can have any effect on that.”
“Note”
No doubt there are plenty of crazies out there. However, some of these politicians realize that their proposals have zero chance of becoming law. They are just riling up the base.
This is interesting:
From that article:
Per the report, the leak of the draft Dobbs v. Jackson decision foiled Chief Justice John Roberts’ attempts to persuade Justice Brett Kavanaugh to act as Roe *’*s saving vote. Sources told CNN that Roberts continued to try and sway the junior justice even after the leak of the draft opinion, despite public and private pressure from conservatives for the court to solidify its decision. “Roberts’ overtures this spring, particularly to Kavanaugh, raised fears among conservatives and hope among liberals that the chief could change the outcome in the most closely watched case in decades.”
We can never know what would have happened if the draft had not been leaked, but I take that report with a grain of salt. Sure, Roberts tried to get Kavanaugh to change his vote; I believe that. But I’m skeptical that he would have been successful in any case.
That may be true, but it looks to be another support for the Alito leaked it theory.
I’m in the Ginny Thomas camp myself.
Interestingly, when it was first leaked, there were calls to find out who did it, and lots of talk of investigation. Haven’t heard much about it since, which tells me that they know who did it, and that they align with the majority of the court.
This scoop belongs to Joan Biskupic of CNN (cited in the Rolling Stones article).
I have to wonder how she manages to get her sources. You’d think people in the know wouldn’t touch a reporter with a ten foot pole after the draft opinion leaked.

If it is true that Kavanaugh has the potential to get squeamish about some of these decisions when there isn’t a fait accompli presented by the leak then we could maybe expect him to have somewhat moderated opinions on gay marriage and the like.
Not that I think that will happen.
Or more leaks.
It seems that Alito has now sprouted a beard and is in Europe mocking foreign leaders who dared to criticize overturning Roe v Wade. He implied that these foreign leaders, being foreign and all, had no understanding of American law.
No, Sam, what these foreign leaders understand – and you don’t – is the fundamental human right to bodily autonomy and the security of the person.
His audience seemed to dig it.
