Counting last night’s rushed vote, Congress has now spent more money on Ukraine in six months than we spend on all US roads and bridges in a year.
… something to think about the next time you are stuck in traffic or replacing a bent rim.
@deadspatulainc @Popehat You’re right in that sense that it shouldn’t be partisan, but it has been made to be partisan. As RBG said, Roe has created more problems than it solved. This current reigniting on a divulging of the courts inner workings, is partisan driven, as are most peoples responses.
@deadspatulainc @Popehat First, nothing has been overturned yet. This was a draft. Second, that we even know it exists, is a product of serious dysfunction in the courts processes, by someone placing tribal politics ahead of sound judiciary. Prioritizing the political implications is the same dysfunction
Roe was "heavy-handed judicial intervention [that] was difficult to justify and appears to have provoked, not resolved, conflict.���
— Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Spreading information others consider wrong, about matters of public concern, is a feature of free speech, not a bug. The point is that ideas thought to be wrong (or outside conventional discourse) can be heard and evaluated. This is how progress happens.
@AndrewRCraig@jasondweinman Because hypothetical problems are worse than real ones, so we better stick with the safety of the status quo, or some such.
@jasondweinman@AndrewRCraig How can a party that barely exists, be worse than the ones that are responsible for all of the problems? Zero logic. Statism is a helluva drug.
@jasondweinman@AndrewRCraig Right, because a tweet by a state chapter of the LP in charge of virtually nothing, is the same as running the government for over a century.
