  1. And poor single women will be consigned to a life of poverty raising a child as a single mom and unable to afford child care so they can work.
  2. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday called for overturning the constitutional rights the court had affirmed for access to contraceptives and LGBTQ rights in an opinion concurring with the majority to decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In his separate opinion, Thomas acknowledged that Friday’s decision does not directly affect any rights besides abortion. But he argued that the constitution’s Due Process Clause does not secure a right to an abortion or any other substantive rights, and he urged the court to apply that reasoning to other landmark cases. Thomas wrote, “In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.” https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/3535841-thomas-calls-for-overturning-precedents-on-contraceptives-lgbtq-rights/
  3. It's going to be a vote loser for the right, as is the NY gun ruling. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/06/13/about-six-in-ten-americans-say-abortion-should-be-legal-in-all-or-most-cases-2/
  4. A number of rioters have pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy. It's inconceivable that the DoJ isn't trying to find out how far up the ladder this goes.
  5. The DoJ has asked the committee for all their evidence. Not being charged yet means nothing at all. The DoJ request isn't so they can put them on their christmas card list.
  6. For now. I wouldn't sleep well at night on any of those ships. Harpoon missiles are being delivered to Ukraine as we speak.
  7. They just struck down a law which was in effect for over a hundred years. Other states also have laws imposing limitations on gun ownership (mainly training requirements), Finally, not all guns are legal anywhere in the USA but this claim that the second amendment is absolute is spurious. Has the new york law been illegal for over a century? The decision was 6-3 and a dissent claims that Thomas was wrong in this interpretation.
  8. Just so those naval forces can enforce a blockade and starve half the world's population and which has already been declared a war crime by several national leaders?
  9. Kind of irrelevant, he's widely popular and had garnered strong international respect. But to answer your question he was voted in by a big margin.
  10. Australia expects these new strains to become dominant and for previously infected people to become infected with these variants. They are very concerned about the new variants affinity for lungs but state that it is still too early to know how bad it will be.
  11. They don't see it as a mess. They have the outcome they want and the economic effects are subservient to their main goal - immigration.
  12. There is possibly some scope to impeach Thomas, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett. Also unlikely for the same reasons but you never know. This is very obviously a politically driven activist supreme court as evidenced by the fact that they have struck down a law which is over 100 years old and has majority popular support. https://www.rawstory.com/new-york-officials-slam-shocking-supreme-court-gun-ruling/
  13. Tell it to Putin, he started the war and he alone continues it. The Ukrainians can't be blamed for defending their homeland.
  14. That's the point, they accept those wages or starve. Grab don't overpay their drivers. Grab may not be a monopoly but the outlook is moving that way. Grab bought Uber in Thailand IIRC. Taxi drivers are being squeezed by Grab and Bolt. It's a slippery slope.
  15. Justice Breyer issues scathing dissent as Supreme Court kills New York gun ruling https://www.rawstory.com/supreme-court-breyer/
  16. Who thinks that gun homicides and suicides in New York won't be higher this time next year?
