That undersells it. They’re not trying to make it harder for an abortion rights ballot measure to pass. They’re trying to make it absolutely impossible to amend the Ohio constitution, at all. Under the proposed amendment, any further amendment would require a YES vote from 60% of the eligible voters in the state (not the actual voters, like literally everything else involving voting).
I’ve seen a LOT more opposition to it than support, but that might not mean anything, since I’m in a very liberal area.
Yeah, those terms sound absolutely insane. Hopefully, there are a fair number of Ohioans who may not be particularly supportive of reproductive rights but are smart enough to see what an absolute clusterfuck this sort of thing will create for the state in all sorts of legislative areas down the road.
Tuberville, darling of racist Alabama manages to bipartisanly piss off a bunch of other senators. Add in birther, anti-immigrant, and liar - what a choice voters.
""Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned Tuberville on Tuesday by saying he was just “wrong, wrong, wrong.”
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also stated that “White supremacy is simply unacceptable in the military and in the whole country.” Republican whip Sen. John Thune explained to reporters that Tuberville’s remarks were asinine and that Thune was “not sure exactly what he was trying to say there.”
Let’s get wannabe VP Gov. Kim Reynolds (Pander - Iowa) in the discussion.
She called a special session of the legislature solely to pass a 6 week abortion ban. With a massive GQP majority, it did pass. The session went really well for a cage match.
I started to write a parody of how they would justify their opposition to the voting rights act, but then I read the body of the article you linked to and my parody turned out to be exactly what they were saying.
By singling out race as a specific criterion under which it is not legal to discriminate, this law is treating the race of the person who is discriminated against as an important factor in determining whether the law applies to them. Therefor the law is racist and unconstitutional.
Wouldn’t that violate HIPPA? At least if they were out of state. It’s like you get privacy unless you are a woman of child bearing age, or trans, or … next group they don’t like?
After being handed a memorial pin for a Uvalde victim, Lauren Boebert throws it in the garbage while other members of congress are wearing AR-15 lapel pins. First 2 minutes covers that and the rest is a greatest hits of Lauren on 9-11 recordings. MeidasTouch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsGczbMkTmA
“Johnson’s comments on JFK’s death were just one of several conspiracy theories the Oshkosh Republican entertained during the interview with Tommy G, a YouTuber…”
And from what I’ve seen, Trump likes to Retruth things from “catturd”. I’m starting to wonder if I’m having one of those LSD flashbacks I was told would happen later in life.
