Today an Oklahoma court allowed the state's 72-hour mandatory delay before getting an abortion take effect

rewire.news/wp-content/upl…
The ruling came in a case also challenging the state's D&E ban. That measure remains blocked #TeamLegal

Here's more background:

rewire.news/legislative-tr…
In June the Iowa Supreme Court blocked a similar measure from taking effect

rewire.news/article/2018/0…
Oklahoma's law has been in effect since 2015 while various abortion rights challenges have proceeded.

When I say the fight for abortion rights and access is never ending this is just one example of what I'm talking about
Oklahoma, Missouri, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah all have 72-hour delays. Louisiana passed one as well but that measure is blocked by federal court order.

2018 was a helluva year but it did end on a few high notes, like this decision from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that says using drugs while pregnant is not child abuse. @AngryBlackLady has the background here #TeamLegal

Here's a copy of the decision since TeamLegal likes to keep it servicey too

A few things to note from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision.

First-- two justices dissented so 😐

Second, the state had argued that one reason it should charge pregnant people with child abuse is because of the possibility they become pregnant again

But let's talk about the connection between the Kavanaugh defense and the Title IX reg changes the Trump administration is proposing for a minute, okay?
We heard *a lot* about a return to the presumption of innocence and due process.

These are sacrosanct and the very fact Republicans are playing games with them should tell you how important they are
Anyways, lets get into the details. Under Trump and DeVos the only way a Title IX investigation happens is if someone files a formal report.

No report, and no report to the right person, the assault didn't happen as far as Title IX under Trump is concerned

Yes everything is terrible with Kavanaugh's confirmation but I think it's also important to remember that the Court for the majority of its history has also been terrible
The Supreme Court has rarely sided with disadvantaged people over the privileged. More often than not it has been the branch that has solidified power rather than pushed it back.
So I think that means a couple things.

One is that we need to be prepared for decades of conservative jurisprudence. The advances of the Warren/Brennan era will be pushed back. What many of us think of as a Supreme Court of expanding rights is an anomaly

With the pro bono help of the firm of Mirer Mazzocchi & Julien, we are filing under the National Voter Registration Act to get the names of every one of the million voters purged from voter rolls using #KrisKobach’s infamous #Crosscheck program. gregpalast.com/im-in-wichita-…
We’ve sent legal notices to all 27 states in #KrisKobach’s #Crosscheck program to turn over their lists. While #Kobach has stonewalled us, a number of states including #Michigan and #Oklahoma, have turned over their hit lists rather than face us in court. gregpalast.com/im-in-wichita-…

Some thoughts on this week's WaPo op-ed on welfare reform by @sanfordschram @rfording and @jbsoss . Per usual, let me stipulate that I think welfare reform was a success because it reduced poverty, which is the thing we all profess to care about. /1
There are 6 points the authors make. #1 is that caseload reduction is the wrong metric for success. I agree with that, and most conservative reformers would agree with that too. (I know most of the most prominent ones personally.) But... /2
The authors punt big-time on this when they say that a better metric would be what happened to earnings from employment. I'm not sure they want to go here, but at any rate, they don't. They leave this dangling as if we just don't know the answer. We do. /3

Russia's new stealth submarines, mobile ICBMs, miniaturized nuclear warheads and more are all going online now thanks in part to US aid programs from the 1990s that kept the design bureaus and production lines operating. This string will revive some of my articles from that time.
"Time to De-Fund Russia's Military Modernization" was my 1995 warning in the Wall Street Journal about the misguided US strategy to fund Russia's military industry - and encourage US businesses to take part. jmichaelwaller.com/wp-content/upl…
Congressman Curt Weldon (R-PA) actively raised questions about these programs. Then he did an abrupt 180 and started doing business of his own as a Kremlin apologist or worse.

You must remember that the secret to all of this is not to be afraid of fear. When you can really allow yourself to be afraid, and you don't resist the experience of fear, you are truly beginning to master fear.
