1) What the fuck is wrong with this asshole, and why is there a base who agrees with him?

2) Nothing in the bill could even conceivably lead to genital exams for school girls. Here's the full text Image
If sex for purposes of this rule is based on "reproductive biology and genetics at birth" no "genital exam" conducting on someone in school could ever be relevant, because it wouldn't shed light on "reproductive biology AT BIRTH"
I get that there's a "how would you know to enforce this" issue, here, but the only conceivable way would be based on the birth certificate. No school-age exam could ever have relevance
We can rage against bigoted assholery without distorting it to make it look worse. And should.

Oh. OHHHHHH. This I've got to see.
This is NOT something you ever want to see as a litigator. It means that the judge chose to read your pleadings and thought that they were so jacked up, somehow that she wants you in her courtroom, right goddamn now, to explain what the hell you were thinking Image
That's one way to describe the Plaintiffs' blind, repeated, flailing attempts at submitting a motion for a TRO, I guess. Seriously, if you haven't followed these filings, they're SPECTACULAR ImageImage

So Dominion sued Rudy for defamation. How are they ever going to allege actual malice? courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Oh. Oh.

That's how.
Yep, that'll do it 😀😀

Nothing demonstrates someone's commitment to the colloquial "values" of free speech more than locking their replies, right Adrian?
I mean he's got every right to do that; nobody is entitled to use his replies as a vehicle for speech he doesn't want to hear or help promote.

I just wish he had the intellectual honesty to recognize that rule *doesn't only apply to him, or to speech he disfavors*
BTW, I consider a lack of intellectual honesty a disabling, insurmountable vice in public discourse, and I wish more people did. I can have a meaningful discussion with, and learn a lot from, people I strongly disagree with, if they're intellectually honest.

OK. I promised you a thread on this batshit insane "Keep Trump as President for Life" lawsuit so here it is. The short summary is: "We think there may have been election law violations, so obviously there is no government" courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
To the surprise of none of you
Let's deal with some background. First, you may remember the "Purcell principle" from earlier election law threads. It's the one that says "look, even if there's some law that an election procedure is in violation of, courts won't step in if it's too close to the election"

It's amazing - and deeply sad - how much of Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail remains true and relevant today. Read the whole thing, not just the easy parts. Some highlights that still speak to me below africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/L…
While confined here ... I came across your recent statement calling my present activities "unwise and untimely." ... since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement ... #MLK
you have been influenced by the view which argues against "outsiders coming in." ... I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. ... I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. #MLK

"Even if you believe, as I do, that Congress ought to remove Trump over his actions last week, can you fault Republicans for not wanting to be a part of this specific process?"

Yes. Yes I can.
Look, @HaMeturgeman, I get it. But the response, if that's how a particular republican senator feels, is to make a floor speech denouncing what they see as inappropriate politicization and then explaining that they're voting to remove *despite*, not *because* of it ...
Because it's the right thing to do and a necessary response to Trump's impeachable misconduct.

"I can't do the right thing because you didn't do the right thing" is, particularly in the face of this issue, completely indefensible.
