People actually voted for him. This is what happens when political parties pander to the racist swivel eyed loons element of society for power and control and dosh- they end up with said swivel eyed loons taking control and getting elected by other swivel eyed loons, and so you end up with this race to the nasty bottom of far right control freak religious cray cray.

(20,044 posts)But he's actually Briscoe Cain III, and I imagine one of his sons is the IV.
The hypermasculine image he pushes seems off; the cowboy hats, big guns and popping out kids with his wife at warp speed (5 boys in 10 years). Maybe he's overcompensating for being short, but he was accused of being gay by the incumbent Republican he defeated in 2016. There's certainly nothing wrong with being gay, but I'm sure it is in his world view.

Now we have bounty hunters prying into women's private decisions. We always had them, now they can get a monetary reward. And our SC says OK. I really am angry, sad, --lots of emotions.

(53,003 posts)because this whole thing has nothing to do with preventing abortion. It's about subjugating women, which is why pigs like this love it. He even looks like a pig.

Cain, the baby-faced Deer Park Republican, arguably the most inept lawmaker in the Texas Legislature, favors cowboy hats and boots and no doubt envisions himself as a squinty-eyed Man with No Name, a young and relentless Clint Eastwood on the vigilante trail of abortion providers and staff, friends and family, Uber drivers and anyone else who might offer assistance to a woman facing one of the most serious decisions of her life. (SB 8 makes no mention of the father.)
Now, Cain has company. The first abortion vigilante to step up and take action under the blatantly unconstitutional Texas law is an Arkansas man named Oscar Stilley, who describes himself as a disbarred and disgraced attorney.
Stilley told the New York Times that he served a decade in prison after being convicted in federal court of tax evasion and conspiracy and is now under house arrest. According to a U.S. Justice Department press release, he hasnt paid federal taxes since 2010.
Stilley said he decided to file suit after reading an op-ed in the Washington Post last Saturday by Dr. Alan Braid, a San Antonio physician who wrote that on the morning of September 6 he had provided an abortion to a woman who, though still in her first trimester, was beyond the states new limit. I acted because I had a duty of care to this patient, as I do for all patients, and because she has a fundamental right to receive this care.
