  2. Like I said, I could have been absolutely wrong about that. I stand corrected. So since that appears to be the case, and since McGirt is the case law, does this preclude both the state and federal government from banning abortions performed on tribal lands?
  3. Geez you almost say that as if to be shocked that republicans don't think about real world consequences about the ideologically constipated shit they do!
  4. Not a lawyer, don’t even play one on TV. That being said, here’s one of Gorsuch’s comments from the McGirt majority opinion: ”Today we are asked whether the land these treaties promised remains an Indian reservation for purposes of federal criminal law. Because Congress has not said otherwise, we hold the government to its word.” Since the abortion ban is state law, I imagine the correct answer to your question is “McGirt does not apply.” That’s not to say the Oklahoma ban rightfully extends to reservations, but I imagine that would require separate cases to establish it…and that would go to Oklahoma courts, not SCOTUS. So best of luck on that one as their Supreme Court currently has 5 R’s and 4 D’s. I freely admit that I could be absolutely wrong about this.
  5. Dishonest people tend to behave that way.
  6. There's a difference between struggling to defend democracy and wasting your time trying to convince people who are full of shit how and why they're full of shit. On the abortion issue, nearly two thirds of the population thinks it should be legal. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/05/06/about-six-in-ten-americans-say-abortion-should-be-legal-in-all-or-most-cases/, In the arena of parliamentary democracy, it's about rallying behind candidates/parties who are sincerely committed towards putting those attitudes into public policy. The "all abortion should be illegal" crowd constitutes 39% of the country, yet the pendulum is swinging in their direction. That cannot happen in our system without an impotent opposition.
  7. I mean you could ask a whole battery of questions like that...and that's really the point, isn't it? There isn't a single argument the so-called "pro-life" crowd has offered that can survive the bullshit test.
  8. Exactly. The only people who take that bullshit seriously those who peddle it.
  9. Dude even the republicans know that Clarence Thomas is only black on his parents’ side.
  10. Well when you have a tub full of nothing but dairy milk and it leaks, first thing you do is blame the coffee that was never put in there. Standards and practices.
  11. It’s actually worse than you think. The argument was best articulated by Mormon Mitt when he said “everything that gets put into a corporation goes back to people.” As a comedian (probably Maher or Colbert) famously retorted; by that logic, a fucking vending machine is a person too.
  12. Objection: beyond the scope
  13. He also saluted a soldier with coffee in his hand
  14. Definitely book clubs
  15. Your definition of “extreme left” is “anything to the left of Atila the Hun.” If you had ever correctly identified what the actual political left really is, I would have remembered it.
  16. Again, just one of those idiots that easily confuse “conservatism” for “being-a-dick-ism.”
  17. Either that or it’s the back and Slimer is taking a shit.
  18. Same goes for conservative credos as well. Maher hit the nail on the head a few years ago: there's a difference between being conservative and just being a dick.
  19. I think he was tapping into Trump’s horseshit about not testing for COVID-19 so much, so the “logic” goes like this: “because there wouldn’t be anyone to diagnose anyone as being sick.”
  20. Does it go as far as a sternly worded letter?
  21. He also has an interesting take on science.
  22. Yep. Reminded me of the BBQBeerFreedom guy. “Really? No one is violently escorting me out of the shot?”
