  1. I guess we’ll find out how important it is to voters. We get to elect state legislators in November.
  2. And minority rule? The majority in each state can decide what to do. If Texas voters want to offer abortion up to 40 weeks, I'll live with it. The Constitution does not protect abortion, so under the Tenth Amendment, it is reserved for the states. No reason states should even be uniform on this.
  3. I have some O&G clients talking about using gas that would be flared to fuel generators to power bitcoin mining. Is that even feasible?
  4. They won't be allowed to.
  5. Some of the nonadjacent neighborhoods. Some of the stuff south of Braeswood. Stuff near Durham north of Bayou. Midtown. Over off OST near Reliant. I was driving over to Southwest Fertilizer on Sunday and there was some very shady apartments off Bissonnett and one had a big sign noting it was zoned to Lamar. Also, it is a magnet school so it pulls kids from outside its boundaries. Lots of them. People who live in River Oaks, West U, Afton Oaks, Oak Estates, Avalon Place, Boulevard Oaks, Southampton just do not send their kids to Lamar. West U folks will do West U elementary but nope out of public schools unless they get into Pin Oak and even then bail out of HISD instead of going to Lamar. Drive around those neighborhoods and see what school signs you will see. St. Johns, ROBS, AOS, Presbyterian, St. Agnes, Strake, Episcopal, Kinkaid, etc.
  6. The man called his shot.
  7. I've lived in one of those neighborhoods for 16 years. Most of the people I know do as well. I can think of one that sent their kid to Lamar, and that is because he wanted to play football there. It just is not common and it will get even less common given the increase in home prices.
  8. I guess you might have a point if abortions did not exist back when the Constitution passed. They did.
  9. You can pass any law you want. It would not be constitutional.
  10. Hardly anyone from these neighborhoods sends their kids to Lamar. It's about 1 out of 100 of the people I know, and that is mainly because their son wanted to play high school football there.
  11. Transition of power is a left or right position? Trump lost and was a dumbass. But nothing was ever going to happen. What about gay marriage? Trump was the first president in history to run for a first term in support of gay marriage. Trade protectionism has traditionally been a position of the left. So I would say the GOP has moved left on the issue. Immigration? I guess moved right due to the Lucy with the football. Drugs? Moved left. Sentencing reform? Moved left. Spending? Moved way left. Gays in the military. Moved left. Anti-discrimination laws. Moved left. In my view, the GOP and those who identify as Republicans have moved to the left on most social issues and fiscal issues.
  12. Nope. It just is not true.
  13. I'm all for BLM to keep taking suckers' money and buying luxury homes.
  14. That's before I was a fetus, so I honestly don't remember. My entire life, the GOP has been pro life and anti-Roe.
  15. https://www.forbes.com/sites/evangerstmann/2019/06/06/dispelling-myths-about-the-gender-pay-gap/?sh=5da9ab4e46fa
  16. There still are pro choice Republicans. And many pro lifers still support those exceptions.
  17. What positions have the GOP moved right on since you were in the GOP in 2008?
  18. You believe that 80 cents on the dollar horseshit?
  19. I think supporting efforts of those to get a constitutional amendment to restore protection of the right to life for unborn children seems pretty damn hostile to Roe. Seems to me like that goes much further than wanting to overturn Roe as it would apply and invalidate abortion access in blue states. I bet democrats at the time damn sure thought the GOP wanted to overturn Roe. They have said that all my life as have Republicans. In any event, it's been for a long time. And the Musk meme was starting in 2008.
  20. "The Republican Party favors a continuance of the public dialogue on abortion and supports the efforts of those who seek enactment of a constitutional amendment to restore protection of the right to life for unborn children."
