Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) on Sunday suggested that abortion laws should be left to states to decide, days after conservatives on the Supreme Court demonstrated a lack of pretense as they questioned Roe v. Wade’s constitutional legitimacy during a hearing on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban.
All Braun, no brain…
“And when you talk about criminalizing it, then all you’re doing is taking this to a logical extreme that you’ll never get to anyway,” Braun said. “We just need to take it off of where it is, send it back to the states. Let’s find that right way to address it. And this applies to many other issues as well.”
Yeah…I know…
Such as Jim Crow or LGBTQ?
Handmaid recruiting?
I’m trying to taunt someone in fantasy football, so it’s odd to me that he (or Todd) didn’t talk about the noise from Indianapolis.
Chuck Todd’s a ‘thumb’, so that’s his built in excuse. I’m trying to figure out what’s Braun’s (and Todd Young/inevitably).
They already had that dance (Trump’s 'thumb" Pence was the Governor).
GOP Sen Suggests Slavery Laws Should Be ‘Turned Back To States’ As 14th Amendment Comes Under Threat
Here we have yet another RW republican who wants to relitigate the Constitution and refight the Civil War in favor of the Articles of Confederation.
Harriet Tubman’s recent prominence in our lives takes on new meaning.
Authoritarian scumbags and the cowardly congresscritters who cater to them.
Braun said. “We just need to take it off of where it is, send it back to the states. Let’s find that right way to address it. And this applies to many other issues as well.”
Sure, where a buyer’s money goes much farther.
Some places could surely decide against laws limiting the damage done by the externalities, or work conditions (eta,) of businesses.
I got a better idea, Sen Braun: how about we keep the law of the land and precedents we’ve had for 2 generations now and any states that don’t like it can fucking secede.
How much time do i need to look for that?
Trump’s already on record in hinting that freeing the slaves and birthright citizenship are mistakes.
Beats feeling unholy every time I pull a $20 out of my wallet and see Andrew Jackson’s ugly mug.
Purely a function of how long we go without addressing gerrymandering and the filibuster.
I’ve got a better idea, let’s ram an Amendment to the Constitution down their throats.
After several years of states banning abortions, and the horrors that will result, we should be able to scrub the fascists out of the state legislatures and pass it.
And let Barret choke on it.
50-50 Senate

If you want to rake in $$$$$$$$ and abdicate your mission to accurately report reality, say so.
The fact that you have not said so is among the most damaging things you have done to date.
