Understood. Radical left will not govern any more than radical right. Answer’s almost always somewhere in between.

What countries have legalized pedophilia?

The pedophilia statement was pure conjecture. Abortion rights are arguments about the law.

Yeah. Casting dems as supporters of pedophilia is a fear tactic.

That’s what I’m saying. There are some constants in the law, and I believe that’s one.

Texas has a limit of twenty weeks. After that, not legal. Other states have different limits on term. It’s not legislation from the bench, it’s interpretation of legislation. Conervatives believe in original intent, liberals more in interpretation given the times in which we live. I think we’re basically saying the same thing, but neither of us are lawyers so we can’t talk like they do.

Hogwash. Minors cannot consent in the eyes of the law, and I don’t see anyone changing that. That’s just another fear tactic to demonize the left.

Where?

I don’t have a clue. That’s why we have a court system. Do you think “hate crime” is a legitimate cause of action in any case, or should it just be judged as assault and battery, attempted murder,manslaughter or murder, depending on the outcome of the action? I’m guessing it’s already being tried in the court of public opinion, but that court has no legal standing. Good wedge issue, though.

I want to know why you think what I said is incorrect. A more conservative court is going to be more sympathetic to states’ rights than a liberal court. That means more leeway in enforcing federal law. I’m not talking politics here, I’m talking about the law and it’s interpretation.

Give more leeway is what I said, meaning where the Texas law was overturned by the previous court, the Louisiana law may not be by this new court. Did you just have to disagree because a liberal said it?

Louisiana is appealing a state law right now to the Supreme Court similar to the one Texas had overturned a year or two ago. States can set parameters, but they must pass constitutional muster as interpreted by the Supreme Court. I'm saying the new court will be more open to states' modifications of abortion policy.

I think that Roe vs. Wade will stand. What we’ll see from this Supreme Court is more leeway given to states to regulate it.

I see now why Law Man swore off you.

It’s been brewing for about 40. Tracks with the decline of the middle class.

Apparently you are the expert. School me with your knowledge. I’m guessing we’ll start with how all underlying data is fouled by the machinations of the deep state.

You guys need to lighten up. I heard about Portland, but didn’t pay it that much attention. The only right wing goons I pay attention to are the white supremacists. People on both sides have been raising hell as long as we’ve been a country. Ever see Gangs of New York? Division is what’s putting our country in peril.

What you missed is everyone has to have coverage. When the cost is spread across the entire population, healthy and unhealthy, it becomes more affordable for all. It’s a public/private partnership allowing competition within set parameters. That’s about the only way it could work here. I don’t think we’re going to see the nationalization of health insurers. Why do you think if I’m a Democrat I have to be thinking one way and one way only?

I’m not qualified to be President, so no, I could not do better. That precludes me from having my own opinions? Where in here can you find I condoned that language? You’re kind of perched up there on something looking down and judging me by some standard you hold for anyone taking a liberal position.

Okay Weisenheimer, I did a little research on my own. I admit to accepting the 97% without checking myself. But, I’ll still go with 80%. Note that research came from University of Houston Energy Fellows and Forbes did the article, not even hardly liberal sources. [Hidden Content]

You killed any discussion at Nazis.

I’m not a scientist, but I side with the 95% of professionally trained who believe it. You’re doing just what Russia wants - distrusting our government and other institutions.

We ain’t running for President. How can you believe he didn’t say it when it’s on tape and he didn’t deny it?

What was Kamala Harris’ statement again? Millions heard what he said when all was done.

I wasn’t that crazy about the plan, but when healthcare spending is approaching 18% of GDP, something has to be done. He did.
