It’s already clear from what the GOP-dominated state legislatures are discussing that they sense a green light to drag the country back to the 1950’s.

I’m the guy with the odd opinion, here.

For years I’ve believed the US Constitution was never clear on these “rights” whether pro-life or pro-choice.

My first impression after looking a bit into the coach and the Maine cases is that the SCOTUS rulings weren’t as broad as I first feared.

As mentioned here above, already, what might matter more is how future cases similar to the coach case are ruled. I would expect to see more cases, or even more extreme cases, where religious practices at…[Read more]

Johnson may have a loose notion of what constitutes truth, and he may be wrong or lying himself sometimes, but it doesn’t follow that everything he says is true.

I think you meant that last word to be “false”. I can change it if you like?

Yeah, it was long, and painful, plus add another half hour for researching where these guys are coming from. I felt the need to look further because of a few red flags, phrases (my paraphrases) like “they kicked us off because we told the truth”, “a conspiracy theory is just a spoiler [for a future truth]”, and then berating (the left, of course)…[Read more]
