In April 2022, Georgia's Governor signed Constitutional carry into law, flanked by his wife & 2 of his daughters, proudly saying "Here at Gables is where Marty and I bought Lucy her first firearm – a GLOCK 43X – 9MM – which she is carrying today!" gov.georgia.gov/press-releases…
Kemp explained his view of constitutional carry: SB 319 makes sure that law abiding Georgians – including our daughters and your family, too – can protect themselves without having to ask permission from state government.
There are no red flag statutes in Georgia and no mechanism for extreme risk protection orders. Firearms can be confiscated as part of domestic violence protection orders but only if someone with whom a domestic relationship exists or has existed files the request.

1/People are dying in America because the NRA & others who benefit from gun sales flood Congress & state elected officials with money. There’s no other reason dangerous weapons of war are still freely available. It's so people can turn a profit. Image
2/If your eyes are open, you know what’s going on here & it intersects with SCOTUS ethics issues in a disconcerting way. A less tortured interpretation of "militia" in the 2nd Amendment could have put the country on a completely different trajectory.
3/Georgia Sen Warnock gave an impassioned speech as an Atlanta shooting & search for the shooter was unfolding yesterday. His young children were in lockdown in Atlanta. He criticized GOP “thoughts & prayers” following mass shootings as inadequate.

1/Trump, predictably, is showing utter contempt for the court proceedings against him. He does not take the allegation that he raped a woman seriously. It’s the ultimate effort at an insult from a man who treats women as objects.
2/Instead of scoring points, Trump’s absence makes him irrelevant at his own trial. The jury will hear his confession about how he treats women from his own lips when Carroll’s lawyers play the Access Hollywood tape. Trump's words hit uniquely in the context of this case.
3/ They also remind us of what Republicans were willing to ignore when they voted for Trump in 2016. And again in 2020, and still now, with a recent CBS poll showing 58% of Republicans say they will vote for Trump in 2024 and another 18% are considering it.

1/A little courtroom theater from Trump's attorney Joe Tacopina, who is moving for a mistrial because of comments the judge made etc. this won't result in a mistrial, but they are setting up an argument they'll make in appeal if the jury finds against Trump. Image
2/Judges routinely give a "clean up" instruction before a jury deliberates, telling them not to construe anything the court says as evidence, or as a suggestion of what their verdict should be. The judge here is experienced & steady & unlikely to be thrown by Trump tactics.
3/What's next? After Carroll’s testimony, the jury will hear from 4 important witnesses, all women. 2 are "outcry witnesses"-Carroll told them about Trump's assault at the time it occurred, 2 will testify Trump assaulted them too. Their testimony supports her credibility

1/It’s a notable statement about the health of our democracy when the president attends the WH Correspndents' Dinner. The leader of our country is not some sort of sacrosanct figure, but an American who is willing to subject himself to the sometimes painful ridicule of comedy.
2/They mean something, these small moments of normalcy in a still-fragile democracy. Celebrate the signs of stability, even—maybe especially—the small ones, like the nerd prom.
3/But there was also a serious side to Biden’s comments Saturday night. “Tonight our message is this,” Biden said: “Journalism is not a crime,” referring to Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been held in Russian captivity for over a month.

1/E Jean Carroll & Abby Grossberg’s lawsuits have captured public attention at a time when it’s open season on women’s rights. There’s Dobbs. There’s the ascension to the Supreme Court of a woman who was, literally, a handmaid. Tucker Carlson belittled women with impunity. Image
2/In March 2021, the Pentagon felt compelled to rebuked Carlson for saying, “So we’ve got new hairstyles and maternity flight suits—pregnant women are going to fight our wars. It’s a mockery of the U.S. military.” He said that after women were nominated to lead 2 combat commands
3/Carlson never served a day in uniform & was reportedly rejected when he applied for a job with the CIA-but open season on women leaders.

The Pentagon tweeted this to drive home the point. Image

1/By now, most people know Justices Alito & Thomas dissented from the majority's entry of an injunction that freezes the status quo while litigation over abortion drug mifepristone works it's way through the courts. The drug remains available for now. aboutblaw.com/7Db?utm_source… Image
2/What seems to have gotten lost are revelations that the Texas judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk, who first heard the case took steps to conceal some of his anti-abortion writings & comments from the Senate during his confirmation process. He entered a nationwide ban on a safe drug.
3/In anticipation of his judicial confirmation process in 2019, Kacsmaryk removed his name, pre-publication, from a law journal article he authored, inserting colleagues names. The article was critical of legal protections for abortion & transgender people.
