*cracks knuckles*

Ok let's do this.

I'm live tweeting the mife arguments.

Let's find out if the Court is going to consider "abortion makes me sad and deprives me of the opportunity to make eyes at pregnant gals" as a form of valid Art. IIII standing. Prelogar is arguing for the FDA. She is ALWAYS good.

Prelogar says these plaintiffs have no injury. THEY HAVE NO STANDING.

The @ACLU just put out a report about obtaining reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities who are on state-mandated supervision (like parole, or probation) that as a person with ADD, I found really interesting. 1/ x The ADA requires that reasonable accommodations be made for people with disabilities. I hadn't thought of "change the way you conduct meetings with people on parole" as something that might be a reasonable accommodation under the ADA, but it makes sense.

Reminder that this all started when a MAGA real estate agent in League City, Texas named Colette Jones decided that she was going to report me to the Colorado Bar Association because she didn't like this tweet.

That's the full story. And rather than apologize she's crying. Like how are you fighting for your goddamn life on Twitter and rather than apologizing to the person that you wronged, you sic every white nationalist on this app on her because the person you wronged is Black and you don't like Black people. That's the story of Colette Jones.

Some lawyer is petitioning the Supreme Court to allow him to represent fetuses in the mife case.

He thinks fetuses have better standing than the current doctors who are whinging about having to perform their jobs and on that one point he may be right.

Because the doctors in the case are basing their standing on abortion making them sad and having to perform abortions is MEAN. And also ladies are too dumb and sad about abortion to sue on their own behalf so the doctors have to do it.

Seriously. That’s their argument.

The Fifth Circuit is hearing arguments in Deanda v. Becerra this morning. A Christian father doesn't want his three daughters to be able to get contraception without his permission and is challenging Title X on that basis.

Matty Kacsmaryk already ruled in his favor of course. ~@Hegemommy and I covered Deanda v. Becerra last week.

I have been the subject of a gaslighting and bullying campaign that has been going on for five years.
I don't speak about it publicly because this person is unwell and I keep hoping against hope that with time, she'll stop targeting me. I know now that's will never happen. So if you read rumors about me that feel off and out of character with the person you've known me to be on here, please ask me.

You have no idea how it feels to be accused of bullying a person you NEVER speak about all the while being bullied by that person in the meanest terms.

To the people demanding that those of us who oppose the occupation of Palestine first tweet about how bad Hamas is.

You don't seem to understand the purpose of my tweets--and probably others'--is to potentially change policy. To pressure American politicians. I'm pretty sure Hamas isn't worried about pressure on social media. I doubt Israel or the US is either but i feel like I have a better shot to effect change by pressuring nation states to hold themselves to higher standards than terrorist organizations. Ffs

This. Is. Bonkers.

Lorie Smith, the plaintiff in the 303 Creatives and her lawyers at Alliance Defending Freedom INVENTED a same sex couple who she claimed asked her to make a wedding website.

The request that forms the basis of this lawsuit is FAKE. https://t.co/plwI7Ovv7fnewrepublic.com/article/173987…
Smith who is a graphic designer is claiming that she shouldn't be forced to make wedding websites for same sex couples.

But here's the thing. She doesn't make wedding websites. We knew that.

Now we know for sure that NO ONE ASKED HER TO MAKE A WEBSITE.

So she and ADF lied.

lmao ayfkm. Disney’s lawyers are having a field day laughing at him I’m sure 😂

I once litigated a case against Disney about the rights to Winnie the Pooh. I must have been a third year associate at the time. It was WILD

i leave for paris in 31 days.

31 DAYS.

My friend asked me how my planning was going and I laughed at the idea that I make plans when I go on vacation.

I went to Italy for 3 weeks in 2017 with no plans but to go to a 3 day beach party in Sardinia and to go to Amalfi Coast. I planned my entire trip around wanting to go see Amalfi because of the Sapienza mission in Hitman 3.

Hand to god. lol

Now with Paris coming, I feel like I should play some Assassin's Creed Unity to prepare. 🇫🇷 #ABLParis

I'm reading the standing argument and I—

ayfkm.

you can find coherent analysis elsewhere. i have a headache and i'm tired.

but this is quite possibly some of the dumbest shit i've ever read

lol why. This thread is wildly unnecessary.

He said eradicate and we know what he meant. It’s not worth “probing a bit”. Enough chin-stroking

https://twitter.com/drvolts/status/1632482840737890304

Can cis people shut up. Jesus.

“We need to eradicate transgenderism.”

“Hmmm. Interesting. Let’s probe that a bit.”

Are you fucking for real right now? In this climate? Just shut up man

I really don’t like these “be nicer to the Duggars or we won’t win” takes.

THe majority of Americans support abortion rights.

We’re not going to win by convincing hypocrites to come to our side.

We have to REFORM THE COURTS.

I just… I’m tired. That ob/gyn Mama Jones may have convinced a couple people to stay out of other people’s uteri through personal advocacy.

But that’s not going to work broadly.

I’m sorry it’s just not.

I’m stress braising short ribs It’s all happening

complicit, imo.

The last time I dared criticize Garland a bunch of Biden nerds swarmed me. Lol

House Republicans have done it you guys. They've passed legislation criminalizing infanticide. Such brave warriors.

And they said it couldn't be done. "kills a child born alive" is literal nonsense. lmao

There's already ✌🏾Born Alive✌🏾 Protection Act and it was passed in 2002.

So can we not.

Yes it's horseshit and we should talk about that, but these door knobs are up in arms about legislation that already exists. Republicans are a scam. Conservativism is a scam. So stupid.

They scream about aborting newborns—which doesn't even make any sense—while they keep shoveling money to the ruling class and handing out abortions to their friends and their friends' mistresses (cough Herschel Walker) like Cuban cigars. Bite me. rewirenewsgroup.com/2019/03/07/myt…

A spokesperson for the Alabama attorney general's office wants you to know that just because the state's abortion ban exempts pregnant people from liability, Alabama will still prosecute you for self-managed abortion—

under the state's ✌🏾chemical endangerment✌🏾 law.

https://twitter.com/RewireNewsGroup/status/1613199870164361217

Alabama is still on its bullshit.

If you live in Alabama, read the linked thread and reach out to @ifwhenhow if you get yoked up by the cops for self-managed abortion.

matt taibbi and bari weiss are ridiculous humans trying to make a scandal out of in-house lawyers reviewing company files.

bananas.

THAT'S WHAT IN HOUSE COUNSEL DOES, YOU DING DONGS.

Bari Weiss's "jaw hit the floor" because she has cheerios where her brain cells should be.

I read the Pro Publica piece on Moore and I just find it distressing that people who write about the law look around and see what is going on with this Court and still somehow believe in the Court as an institution that can fix the cracking open of democracy. This writer cites a law prof who has written that Moore won't mean that state legislatures can overturn the will of the people in a federal election because Congress mandates that electors be selected before Election Day.

this is wonderful going into #303CreativeVElenis oral arguments this morning where SCOTUS is going to listen to some whiner complain that her evangelical Christianity means she doesn’t have to make a wedding website for a same sex couple. 😒

https://twitter.com/gregggonsalves/status/1599466560519016448

~plot twist~ nobody, gay or straight, ever even asked this broad to make them a custom wedding website because her company doesn’t even make wedding websites.

She just wants to maybe get into the wedding website business in the future and when she does she wants to discriminate.
