2. Nobody understands this. Thank you for posting. The Texas law is, in practice, a complete ban.

6. Lawrence Tribe was on Rachel last night.

He cited an old Massachusetts law, upheld by the Supreme Court, years ago that prevents a state from assigning duties to a private citizen or entity that rightfully belong to the state. That fits the Texas law perfectly, and anyone currently sitting on the Supreme Court should have known of this law and applied its reasoning to the Texas case instead of allowing this abomination to go into law. Either we have a bunch of legally ignorant justices on the Court or they allowed their personal beliefs to force an unconstitutional action into law. Neither is acceptable.

GD, in Cambridge Massachusetts, needed a liquor license, but the rear of their building was across an alley from the rear side of a church. A Massachusetts statute permitted the church, which was within 500 foot radius, to object to the issue of the license.

(d) Section 16C substitutes the unilateral and absolute power of a church for the reasoned decisionmaking of a public legislative body acting on evidence and guided by standards on issues with significant economic and political implications, and thus enmeshes churches in the processes of government and creates the danger of "[p]olitical fragmentation and divisiveness on religious lines," Lemon v. Kurzman, 403 U. S. 602, 403 U. S. 623. Few entanglements could be more offensive to the spirit of the Constitution.

Decision was 8-1, only Rehnquist dissented.

8. This is another discussion point the press is pissing me off about.

When Abbott was in that press conference yesterday, he claimed that a woman has "at least" 6 weeks to obtain an abortion if she's been raped. Obviously, it's not "at least". It's "at most". Did anyone say anything? Of course not. And then he made the incredibly ridiculous claim that the state that has the highest number of reported rapes is going to eliminate it. Reaction? (We need a "crickets" emoji).

I read a book years ago titled "On Bended Knee" about the press during the Reagan/Bush administration. You can really trace the press relationship with the Republican party from there forward. When a rethug is in the White House, they back down. You couldn't put an entire spine together from all of them. As soon as a Dem hits that Oval Office, they jump to their feet and turn into a pack of feral dogs.

10. And during that seven days, wheee would she go in Texas?

Clinics closed, no doctor appointments, risk for doctors — how do they confirm she is in the window? It’s not that accurate.
