    Yeah sure. Believing that IVF is okay makes me a loon. Believing that 11 year old rape victims should not be forced by law to raise their rapist’s kid also makes me a loon.

    And dipshit Republicans wonder why women are abandoning their party.

    I don’t necessarily think the number must be fixed forever at nine. There are 11 circuits plus the DC circuit so I tend to think there should be 11.

    And it wouldn’t take a constitutional amendment to do that. Just an act of Congress. But the only way that could happen is if the bill only took effect after the next presidential election.

    I also personally don’t like that we fixed the number of Reps at 435 but again, that’s an issue that could be solved by Congress. Not changing the Constitution.

    As long as the amendment stated that a vote be held for any Justice submitted by any President

    Of course the horse is already out of the barn on that one.

    What the word "democracy" means to Democrats it that everyone in a given district can vote. Saving democracy is all about having no limitation on who can vote.

    If the Republican Party had any brains, the Congress would propose a constitutional amendment locking in the number of Supreme Court Justices at nine. Polls show this is what a vast majority of voters want and might drive moderate people to the polls. When the Dems come out against that type of amendment, it would show the ambivalent where we are headed.

    Would you favor such an amendment DSL?

    More lunacy from the progressive utopia of Chicago.

    If approved, the resolution would direct Chicago schools to develop ‘a holistic approach to school safety’ that ‘addresses root causes’ of violence.


    Dozens of Chicago high schools that continue to employ school-resource officers to protect students and staff from violence will no longer be allowed to do so under a plan coming before the far-left city’s education board this week...

    The effort to eliminate officers from schools has been a priority for progressives and racial-justice activists, who contend that black students and students with disabilities are disproportionately policed and disciplined by in-school officers. It also comes after at least four students were killed in three shootings near Chicago schools in recent weeks...

    Last year, four students were shot — two of them fatally — at Benito Juarez High School. The school’s leaders had previously voted to remove officers from the building, Vallas noted.


    Those progressives sure do care about minorities and poor folks.​

    This is interesting.



    Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell told reporters in Arizona that she's ordered her staff not to cooperate in any efforts to send Raad Noan Almansoori, 26, back to New York where he's wanted in connection to the slaying of Denisse Oleas-Arancibia, 38.
    Almansoori is being held without bail in Arizona, where he's been accused of stabbing two women.

    "Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan DA there, Alvin Bragg," Mitchell said, "I think it's safer to keep him here and keep him in custody so that he cannot be out doing this to individuals either in our state, county or anywhere in the United States."

    Good for Maricopa County.

    Kinda wish AA were around to opine on this.

    The fallout from the Alabama Supreme Court decision has begun. My brother and his wife struggled for years to have a kid and it wasn't until trying IVF that they were able to.

    Fearing prosecution, UAB pauses in vitro fertilization after Alabama embryo court ruling - al.com

    A model for the nation.

    An updated California budget deficit estimate puts more pressure on legislators and the governor to find savings.


    The Legislative Analyst’s Office projects the 2024-25 shortfall at $73 billion, putting more pressure on legislators and the governor to find savings.
    California enjoyed record surpluses during Covid (propped up by federal assistance). Now that reality has reared its ugly head, it appears that chasing off businesses and tax paying citizens while expanding services to non-contributors is blowing a massive hole in the state budget. Weird.

    Mike Lee could only get 12 others to demand a trial for Mayorkas? Lot of blank lines on that letter….

    We have to suspend democracy to SAVE democracy.

    Democracy to a progressive means "we get what we want by any means necessary". AKA classical liberalism!
