Rep. Madison Cawthorn announces that he and his new bride are already getting divorced.

A whole 8 months. I would love to hear the wife's side of this breakup.

Question. Was Crawford the one who missed a lot of votes because of his husband duties [he tweeted something along these lines at the time].

Wed Dec 22, 2021, 08:41 PM

There are two distinct marital "privileges."

Cawthorn can prevent her from testifying about anything he communicated to her after they married, in reliance on the confidence of that relationship. Even if she wants to testify. That right is limited to communications and survives divorce.

A second "privilege" is the right not to testify against your husband during the marriage. That "privileged" is broader (it covers all adversarial testimony) and narrower (it ends when the marriage ends).

Both are state rules - but most states have some variation on both. The former is a privilege; the latter is a presumption of incompetence which the testifying spouse can waive.

Not cool, dude.

Yes, a spinal cord injury can affect how things function "down there," but modern medicine has ways to address that. And piv sex isn't the end all and the be all for a lot of people anyway.

That said, as much as I absolutely can't STAND this racist nazi pos, jokes about anyone's disabilities are ableist and none of us should be going there, imo.

He’s the one who portrays himself as some kind of “stud,” so I just wondered.

Is it ableist to speculate? I didn’t demean him.

And as long as we’re going down this road, how do you know I’m a “dude”? 😆😆

I do wonder if she married him thinking the life of a wife of a congressman would be exciting or possibly easy; yet she found the reality to be quite different after living it for a few months. He's not exactly a quiet backbencher. He's an attention-seeking, narcissistic firebrand and they may have turned her off.
