To my knowledge, no one in the US is sacrificing human infants to BAAL.

Shouldn't the MAGA party be passing laws to prohibit and punish that?

A reminder from Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet":

"Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.
If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction."

It is my misfortune to live in a district represented in Congress by Mary Miller. To give you

just a little insight about the area I live in, I briefly considered writing a letter to the editor explaining that she is a fascist anti-gay racist who believes Trump should be reinstalled in the White House with dictatorial powers, but I decided against it.

To 75% of my neighbors, such a letter would be considered "strong support" for her candidacy.

I once read that the primary motivation for religious conservatism is the fear that

someone somewhere is having a good time.

Alito's draft in the Dobbs case is not a "legal" decision. Some would say it is a "political"

decision, but I think that misses the mark.

Alito puffed up his self-righteous self and authored a RELIGIOUS decision.

He knows, you see, not just what is legal and illegal. More importantly, in his opinion, he knows what is right and what is wrong and--- BY GOD!---abortion is WRONG!

A 49 year old 7-2 bipartisan SCOTUS precedent (Roe) reinforced by a 19 year later re-affirmation (Casey) universally considered "precedent on precedent", can just be flushed when you are doing "the Lord's will", don't you see?

Alito knows the law from A to Z---Arrogance to Zealotry.

I hope there is a "Hillbilly EULOGY" for Trump-endorsed J. D. Vance in Ohio tonight. nt

For anyone who is ASSUMING that the bombshell leak of Alito's unjudicial opinion will SURELY

result in responsible legislation to restore Roe, I have just two words to disabuse you of your fantasy: Sandy Hook.

After that slaughter of first-graders and teachers, I believe support for passing stricter "gun laws" was just north of 80%. "SURELY" we thought, "this will do it. This will result in life saving restrictions on gun ownership!"

Nothing. Not a damn thing.

If we want to enact laws that implement the will of the majority, WE WILL NEED TO GET OFF OUR ASSES, get out our checkbooks and get in the face of any one of these Trumpie/MAGAT/Republicans we can get close to.

Take nothing for granted. "Surely" NOTHIN'!

"Are they gonna make us outlaws again? Is that what it's comin' to my friend?"

Those lyrics from a James Talley song have been on my mind today. I think the reasons are obvious.

You know how we've sometimes said that a Republican screwed up by "saying the

quiet part out loud"?

Is that what Alito and his Federalist Society bobbleheads just did?

I am primed and ready to "go off" on the next pious religiac who DARES to try and

lecture about the "sanctity of life" as justification for outlawing abortion! I will try not to start with "Kiss my heathen ass you hypocritical POS!", but I may be unable to resist the instant gratification I'd get from seeing their eyes go wide and their jaw drop.

Their "position" is not supported by the bible they claim as their instruction manual and is easily refuted by science. They care not at all about a child's life or health or welfare once they've forced its mother to carry it to term. The truth is these sanctimonious "pro-lifers" get off on controlling women, especially those non-wealthy and non-white women who can't afford a flight to Europe or South America to "fix their problem" under cover of "just needed to get away on vacation".

So, anti-choicer, don't even start with your presumptuous and arrogant "sanctity of life" bullshit in my presence unless you want your ass handed to you.
