Draw a line - Joe McCarthy/RoyCohn/Donald Trump Not to mention CREEP

And his lawyer Roy Cohn, Trump’s lawyer until he got sick.

Joe freakin’ McCarthy. I rest my case.

Yeah, but the net’s tightening.

Those are states rights. And I agree 100%, it’s the law of the land and I’ll bet even Kavanaugh won’t vote to overturn if given the chance. Congress and the entire national political debate could be a lot more productive if that fact was just accepted.

If you think they wouldn’t use those kind of tactics if the opportunity arose, you’re fooling yourself.

I support a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body. Call me what you will.

[Hidden Content] Read conclusion in last paragraph. I know I'm wasting my time, but here, debunk away.

Show me some stats that it ain't true.

I didn't say personal oversight. There's a difference. Big difference.

I already stated it. When they were illegal, they still happened. People who couldn't afford to go to Mexico or pay a rogue doctor here got the coat hanger. As long as a fetus is connected to the mother, it is a fetus, not a baby. Babies have legal standing in the law. The fetus is an extension of the mother, and she has to live with her decision about what she does with her body, and face her Maker about her choice, not you. Or the federal government. By the way, I do not favor taxpayer funded abortion.

Wouldn't it be so much better if we only had one party, Fan? Your GOP and all would be well. Kinda like Putin, no?

The invisible hand is always depicted on the right as efficient and just. That may work in a mathematical equation, but throw people in (human nature) and that’s one variable that cannot be accounted for. Public oversight is necessary for the public good to be served.

I haven’t heard anyone proposing child euthanasia, even the hint of an idea. Of course I wouldn’t support that. I look at abortion as not only a woman’s right to choose, but a public health issue as well. When abortion is illegal, only those who can afford it will get them safely done.

On both sides.

[Hidden Content] Ok. I found something here that gives convincing information to me that using Freddie and Fannie to influence social policy rather than serve as a backstop to the legitimate private mortgage industry contributed to the crisis. Be sure and read the last paragraph, though.

Still not selling me. Show me where low income foreclosure rates outstripped those of middle and upper income foreclosures when the bubble burst.

The last three a Democrat President got to appoint have been women, that’s going back 25 years. I guess that vicious predator RBG must’ve slipped by because of the Republican Senators’ magnanimity.

How does that HUD publication bolster your position?

Come on, Ash, all your quotes and links come from conservative academia, so what’s the point? I guess Fannie and Freddie stuck a gun in Wall Street’s face and said do it, or else.

Uh, he was never even granted a hearing for the chance of anything like that coming up.

Was that federal legislation did that, or Supreme Court affirmation of state law?

Is that the best you got? Murder legal at any age? I hope that’s just hyperbole.

They’re trying to bring their family to a place they believe will provide a better opportunity. That’s a good and desperate parent. I’m not going to stop involving my heart in my decision making. If you calling me a “bleeding heart” makes you feel better, go for it.
