That’s what I meant- I don’t know if DeSantis would accept VP, but I am absolutely sure that Trump will not accept VP under any circumstances.

New York is preparing its legislative response to the new ruling.quote:Specifically, prior court precedent allows the restriction of guns in certain “sensitive places.” Hochul said she and lawmakers are discussing a measure that would clearly lay out a list of sensitive places where guns aren’t allowed. While the language is yet to be negotiated, Hochul said she wants to see the subway system on the list while also mentioning areas like schools and restaurants. https://gothamist.com/news/new-york-lawmakers-drafting-new-gun-control-laws-in-response-to-supreme-court

Ornery and Hornery posted:My concern is that a lot of the blue states are also plentiful with reds, and many of the blues in those states aren't particularly useful anyway. New York and California, mostly. A blue person moving to a state also makes it (marginally) more blue so it's partly a self-fulfilling prophecy. No state is 100% blue but those two and some others have consistently elected pro-abortion governments for a very long time If there's federal movement on a full national ban then all bets are off but if you want to do something for your family today those are your options

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:He also said that he had no idea what his court nominees' views on abortion were and wouldn't make it a litmus test before coming out the next day and saying he will only appoint strong pro-life judges. This reversal appears to have been one of those instances where the last thing someone said to him stuck, except in this case it was a longtime pro-life activist who had wormed into the campaign quote:Dannenfelser attended a meeting where, after being introduced by Jerry Falwell Jr. and Franklin Graham and flanked by Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson, Trump — on his third wife and third sexual-assault allegation — professed his Christian faith. Dannenfelser claimed to be “impressed.” The campaign asked her to head up its pro-life coalition, essentially asking to use her extensive election infrastructure. https://www.thecut.com/article/marjorie-dannenfelser-abortion-roe-v-wade.html

Kraftwerk posted:So how does abortion work in a blue state? If you needed one in California, CO, NY etc what is the process? How hosed are you? Same as it was on Thursday. This decision does not directly alter federal abortion policy, it just allows individual states to go hog wild internally. How much state policy can affect other states' policy is one of the fun new discoveries we're going to make over the next few years so there's no definitive answer to that yet. haveblue fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Jun 25, 2022 |

Yeah, the problem isn't that now the coach is allowed to pray, it's that the coach is allowed to integrate prayer into the football program and make repeating his prayers a condition of having good standing on the team. Not as official policy, but as soft social pressure, backed up by his concrete authority as an employee of a government-run school. This is exactly the sort of thing the First Amendment is supposed to prevent.

In Ireland about a decade ago, a woman died while doctors dithered over whether saving her from an unviable pregnancy was legal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Savita_Halappanavar The backlash led to the country legalizing abortion.

Koos Group posted:States can't prosecute you for anything, but there is legal precedent in Texas for allowing civil litigation on the issue, and anti-abortion lawmakers are pursuing a strategy to introduce this in other parts of the country. The Biden justice department has warned states that it would fight these laws for violating the interstate commerce clause, however. Full details here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/29/abortion-state-lines/ A number of states have also passed laws forbidding themselves from cooperating with other states in this area, too. Like, if someone in Texas tries to sue someone in Connecticut over a telemedicine abortion, Connecticut will just ignore it. This is probably not healthy for the legal system as a whole but it's better than the alternative

New York has passed their updated gun laws, so now that you can get your concealed carry license actually performing concealed carry has gotten much harder, especially in New York City. The most significant change is greatly expanding the list of "sensitive places" in which guns are not permitted. Thomas said that you can't just make a blanket declaration that a vast area is sensitive (his example was the entire island of Manhattan) but it's still unclear where the line is and the legislature took full advantage of that. You can no no longer carry a gun in: -Government buildings -Medical facilities -Religious facilities -Educational facilities -Parks, zoos, and museums -Theaters, stadiums, and other performance spaces -"Places where alcohol or marijuana is consumed" -Polling places -Public transit -Times Square specifically -Any private business that does not post a sign explicitly permitting guns That last bit is the rub as it's very obviously intended to take advantage of social pressure and make allowing guns in your business a commercial death sentence. I guess we revisit the definition of "sensitive place" in a couple of years once someone sues over it. There are a number of other relatively minor tweaks, like raising the age to buy assault rifles (was 18, now 21), banning the sale of body armor to the public, and making red flag orders easier to file. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-york-may-ban-concealed-guns-many-places-including-times-square-2022-07-01/
