Shouldn't be that way.
With the way the internet and media now work, stories are not vetted and travel through the public at the speed of light. To make a mistake is bad, but to intentionally plant a false story should be criminal.
Kinda like saying an election was stolen even though you have zero evidence.

Hard to do, when the courts won't admit what evidence that was gathered.

So, the rapist is an illegal immigrant, according to the 11th paragraph of a CNN story I read about the arrest.
Well...That means The Resident will quit talking about this and move on.
Run away! Run away!

Catherine Glenn Foster, the head of Americans United for Life, had this to say in Congress:
“If a 10-year-old became pregnant as a result of rape and it was threatening her life, then that’s not an abortion,”
The nonsensical denial is really strong in this one.

You mean like Hillary claimed? Twice? Like Al Gore claimed?

The doctor at the center of a firestorm over abortion rights sent a cease and desist letter to Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita on Friday demanding that he stop “making false and misleading statements” about her to the press.
An attorney for Caitlin Bernard — the OB-GYN who performed an abortion on a 10-year-old rape survivor from Ohio whose case grabbed national attention this week — told Rokita that his public threat to criminally prosecute her and his suggestion that she did not report the abortion to the proper state authorities “forms the basis of an actionable defamation claim.”
...
Argue all you want that "abortion by a 10 year old rape victim" is or should be legal in all states. The reality is already there are elected Republican leaders very much reluctant to acknowledge the legality of letting a 10 year old rape victim get an abortion, and even after one is performed, already there is a state Attorney General publicly threatening to criminally prosecute a doctor for performing the abortion for a 10 year old rape victim that you all like to claim is or should be legal in all states.

Well, that is just a reading comprehension fail on your part. There is no threat to prosecute for performing the abortion.

Uh, no.
Get your facts straight and get back to us.

This is what democracy looks like, as Dobbs intended.
Kansas voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly struck down a proposed constitutional amendment that would remove language enshrining reproductive rights in their state, in a move widely seen as a victory for abortion rights activists.
The proposed amendment was the first time anywhere in the U.S. that voters cast ballots on abortion since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June.
A ballot question, known as the “Value Them Both Amendment,” asked voters to decide whether the state’s Constitution should continue to protect abortion rights. The proposed amendment to the state Constitution would have removed language that guarantees reproductive rights and asked voters if they prefer to put the issue of abortion in the hands of the state’s Republican-controlled legislature — an outcome that abortion advocates said was all but certain to result in the elimination or curtailment of those rights.
A “yes” vote on the measure would remove from the state Constitution the right to an abortion and hand the issue back to the state legislature. A “no” vote on the measure would make no changes, keeping abortion rights enshrined in the state Constitution.

And that's why you vote for Trump. At the end of the day, Presidents are ephemeral, Congress does not do its job and the SCOTUS is darn near forever.
Trump's legacy with the court is very much solidified, and appreciated by conservatives like me. It actually helps offset the many other things he did that I thought significantly degraded the expectations of the office. I don't mean that as a subtle jab, just in terms of how his legacy is balanced in my head.

The thing is any GOP President is going to select of the FedSoc list. You could have a sane candidate and still get the court picks.

Agreed that it would be better if candidates on both sides were better. It's sad that more people don't see things that way.
