Here's one of the more interesting tweets, from a NYT reporter.  "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

And as much as this offends me, and I too find it heinous, that's the way federalism was supposed to work. If the people in say California are not Ok with murdering viable babies then its up to them to push the Cali legislature to pass the appropriate laws or vote with their feet and move to a state more in line with their beliefs. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

I don't agree with your opinion on what abortion policy should be, but since you clearly value having the ability to shape that policy you should be happy about this decision. Right now the Supreme Court is the ultimate authority on the issue, and nothing you or your "Congresscritters" say or do will influence how that policy is set in any way. The pro-choice folks were happy about that state of affairs when the policy was to their liking, and now they're unhappy, which illustrates the folly of letting the Court decide abortion policy in the first place. This decision does not set any policy whatsoever regarding abortion, it simply changes who sets it. Letting the people do that, rather than nine judges, puts the policy decisions back where they belong and you can actually have some say in what they are. | |||

Well, considering that she had managed to insult everyone, I'm not surprised.  Yep, gone: https://twitter.com/duarteamanda Well, sorta. https://twitter.com/hashtag/Am..._src%3Dtwsrc%255Etfw https://twitter.com/CantMakeIt.../1521510759980834818 https://twitter.com/CantMakeIt.../1521510759980834818 https://twitter.com/aye_drey/s.../1521579765785792512 https://twitter.com/Ummmmichel.../1521506519140896768 And that's just a sample. What a hoot! How's it goin' there, Aman-duh? | |||

Since there's nothing in the Constitution to cover abortion rights, then the Feds have no power over it and the power is given to the states. The Tenth Amendment declares, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." In other words, states have all powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution. | |||

People are increasingly willing to have government regulate things simply because they like how those regulations will work at this moment. Very few of them consider what will happen when the other party is in power, which is inevitable, and people you don't agree with are setting the rules. I'm sure there are lots of causes of this but the primary one I see is that many people aren't content being free and making their own decisions -- they want to decide what others get to do as well. This cuts both ways politically, of course, but it does seem far more common on the left (like when they wanted to outlaw "hate speech"). | |||

Nope. Again, though Breyer and I have diametrically opposing opinions on most things, I would strongly doubt he'd potentially disgrace himself in that way after a long career on the court. No, I think this is more something a clerk or admin would do. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

That's entirely accurate, which is why it was such a big deal when the SCOTUS decided in Roe that the 14th Amendment contained a right to have an abortion. Q: Where does it say that? A: Well it doesn't actually say that (or anything about abortion at all). But trust us, it's in the penumbra (you know, not what the actual words say but what they mean). Q: How can the words of an amendment ratified in 1868, when abortion was illegal in every state, mean that? A: Well, they didn't mean that at the time but they do now. Q: If the Constitution is a social contract between the government and the people, why are the people bound by something they never agreed to? A: They agreed to be bound by what the Constitution means, not what it says, and they also agreed that the SCOTUS gets to decide what the Constitution means. That means the people agreed to be bound by whatever we say they did. This is not a parody - it is exactly what Roe v. Wade held based on the notion that the Constitution is a "living document" so rights come into and out of existence as times change. This is far more like writing a Constitution than interpreting one, and it's a very bad idea. | |||

She reactivated the account. Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||

Boy, that transgender nonsense sure took a backseat right quick, didn't it? Lots of signs proclaiming that if you don't have a uterus, you don't have a say, and yadda yadda. Well, tough shit, liberal feminist shrew. The pregnant man emoji says in fact that I do have a say. How about that, eh?  ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Close. All power comes from the people. The states powers are given to them via the state constitutions. The states the determined what powers the fed would have via the US constitution. So basically if it isnt explicitly spelled out as a power of the state, or a power of the fed via the constitutions, the power is reserved to the people. Governments both fed and state habe gotten used to the "it doesn't say we can't" mentality instead of the "this is where it says we can" mentality. | |||

That mare is hobbled. She's "deeply, deeply sorry", you see. Not really, but she'll act deeply, deeply sorry for a while. It doesn't seem to be going so great... https://twitter.com/duarteaman.../1521584754621136900 | |||
