Is this sarcasm? House Democrats literally just passed an elections law last year. It was, predicably, killed by Republicans in the Senate.

Totally normal and healthy country:
Quote:
With abortion outlawed after six weeks in Ohio, physicians in neighboring Indiana described an influx of out-of-state patients seeking care. Among them: a pregnant 10-year-old.

Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis obstetrician-gynecologist, told the Indianapolis Star that just three days after the federal right to an abortion was reversed she received a call from a colleague, a child abuse doctor in Ohio, who needed her help. The physician had a pregnant patient, a 10-year-old, who could no longer legally undergo the procedure in her home state.

Getting raped, an "opportunity for women no matter how young or old she is".

It's so terrifying now for women in America. Even pregnant women as a result of rape and Incest. Unconscionable.

Data that I saw showed that depending on the metric, the U.S. ranks between 15th and 72nd in the world in health care out of 191 countries. Canada was between 7th and 32nd. The U.S. however was 1st in health care costs per capita.

That exceeded expectations for humor. I guess nobody decent even wants to go into politics down there. And those are the candidates for governor....

Won’t be necessary. With all the gerrymandering and voter suppression, GOP is gonna “win” the election outright.

I honestly don't understand how, given what things appear to be like down there, no one has taken a shot at Scalia or Thomas.

Um, you mean the dead guy, Justice Antonin Scalia??? Kinda pointless to shoot a corpse, no?

Unless there's another prominent Scalia you're referring to??? Help me out here.

It's the same thing, you'd have to kill the fillibuster. Biden saying 'we have to codify Roe" is no different.

It's still early, but if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on DeSantis now to be the Republican nominee. Like, sure, "No PoiNt dOinG tHEse JaN 6 hEArinGs" and all that, but the latest polls since the hearings have started are showing pretty impactful dips in support for Trump. One of the goals of these hearings was to prevent Trump from being able to ever run again. Don't think they'll achieve that technically, but in 2024, DeSantis would be the smart choice with much less baggage. And the GOP is smart, and will see this.

If this happens, it'll be interesting to see if Trump tries to steal the nomination from DeSantis.
