Drastic rulings potentially altering the future of medical abortions in this country have been coming near daily in the last few weeks, resulting in a furious frenzy of filings that quickly made their way up to the Supreme Court.
I call it the Dictatorship of the One. One judge who rules over all, one parent who bans books or movies for all parents, one governor who pardons a criminal by over-ruling a jury of peers, one governor who fires duly elected school boards or prosecutors because they didn’t vote as he wanted. Not democracy for sure.
Great Wyden quote:
“It will come from a lawless judge, picked by the litigants with no standing to bring a case that should be barred by the statute of limitations and has absolutely no merit,” he said. “There are moments in history where Americans and their leaders must look at circumstances like this one and say, ‘Enough.’ Not ‘let’s see how the appeals process plays out,’ or ‘let’s hope Congress can fix this down the road.’ Just, ‘Enough.’”
Frist!
ETA: Missed it by that much!
This is one of many reasons court reform needed to be the main issue in 2022 after Dobbs and why it needs to be again in 2024.
At best, these litigants then get the dice roll of a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals panel
Do they make one sided dice?
hen Jim Jordan ‘s (R-OH) House Judiciary Committee heads to New York next week to pow-wow about violent crime in Manhattan, C-SPAN won’t be covering it and that has Jordan crying “bias.”
They’ve said not,” Jordan answered. “That’s sort of consistent now with C-SPAN. They didn’t cover our hearing down in Yuma, Arizona, on the border when they should have. They indicated they are not going to cover this. Democrats are gonna be there at this hearing. I wouldn’t know why. I think most other people are going to cover this hearing. I don’t know why C-SPAN wouldn’t. It just shows their bias.”
‘Wait for the audience pan’: South Dakota Gov. mocked for denying NRA is mostly ‘old white guys’ - Alternet.org
Republican Governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, spent a portion of her National Rifle Association (NRA) speech alleging the organization is diverse in its membership.
Oliver Willis: “The NRA is diverse! It has old white guys, short white guys, fat white guys, skinny white guys, a few young white guys…”
I saw a clip of her at the NRA bash claiming her 2 YO daughter has a shotgun and nearly slapped my self in the face I facepalmed so hard.
Wyden is right, of course. Enough!
But it’s never enough, is it?
American history is chock full of dingbat religious/political visionaries flowering or festering in the zillions of strange byways of this vast and lonely land.
Is there still some mass of sanity big enough amongst us to keep the union whole?
Yes. For now, I think.

Talk about opening a can of worms, what a dope but it’s what we have come to expect from the r/w nut jobs.
O/T
I’ve given up trying to figure out what goes on inside Trump’s head, but calling the special prosecutor a warthog…?
Solved
That’s more than I paid for my house
