    Could this be true about the Roe decision?

    This doesn't have to be done by the state. It can be done at the Federal level as well. However, state politicians appear to be more willing to do the hard work of legislating. In Texas, the Supreme Court is elected and although that is the case, I would still want the congress (either...

    Could this be true about the Roe decision?

    The only solution I am proposing is legislation. If this is decided by elected officials and not the judiciary, it will ultimately be up to voters to decide. This has been the best course of action for 50 years. The fact that legislation has been avoided has led to this because of the...

    Could this be true about the Roe decision?

    First, the decision would not ban abortion. It would simply put it back in the hands of the state. Yes, you may not be able to get one in Oklahoma or have to leave Texas but states like California and New York will probably continue to expand access. This decision does not take away rights...

    Roe v Wade overturned - politico obtains draft opinion

    This was all but inevitable. For decades, legislators have refused to actually legislate on this issue. Roe v Wade is an opinion and opinions can (and apparently will) change. Write a bill, vote it into law, and have it affirmed. That's what the pro-choice legislators have been doing and they...

    If Democrats Did This It Would Be Genius (They Won't)

    I am not so sure there would be that many Republican votes to cross the lines. Many of us still remember the "protest" votes cast for Perot. I actually thought he could and would win and voted for him twice (the second time was extremely weak and more protest than hopeful). Many Republicans...

    What is it with republicans passing laws most folks don't like?

    The biggest problem with abortion (legally) is that is not legislated at the Federal level. If people truly wanted states to not be able to pass their own abortion laws, the Federal government should explicitly pass laws regarding abortion. If the majority of Americans truly do not want Roe v...

    Twitter adopts 'poison pill' to prevent Elon Musk takeover

    I, for one, salute the new Musk Twitter Overlord. The answer to unwanted speech is more speech not less speech. Argue and persuade - not censor. From a fiduciary responsibility perspective, shareholders would immediately get a 50% increase in sell price on a stock that was headed to less than...

    Why are the Republicans winning over the American Public?

    I don't believe it is so much the Republicans "winning over" but more of the Democrats "driving away". They advocate advancing through personal characteristics rather than merit. They refuse to acknowledge and address actual problems such as the border and energy. The most radical are given the...

    Is libertarian socialism a real/coherent political ideology?

    Not exactly although it seems that way... Actual laws are passed by both houses of congress and then signed by the president. This will take a simple majority (51%) to pass and in most cases there is at least some support from both parties. To undo this action the same steps need to be taken...

    Is libertarian socialism a real/coherent political ideology?

    In Texas, that org would be Texas Child Protective Services.

    Is libertarian socialism a real/coherent political ideology?

    As a minor, the child cannot make that choice. As a minor, the child can and should be compelled to take advantage of those resources that are available. Once the child reaches adulthood, they can make their own choice and live with it. There are a wealth of private resources that can and...

    Is libertarian socialism a real/coherent political ideology?

    I believe that libertarian socialism is an oxymoron. Individual freedom and responsibility do not go hand in hand with being compelled to being responsible for someone other than yourself or worse, being compelled to take actions that some other person has decided is in your best interest...

    Let's cut to the chase, if trump runs again are you going to vote for him?

    If he gets the nomination and if his general election opponent is running on giving us more of the Biden and Obama policies. absolutely. The way the Democratic party is going, his opponent will probably be running to the left of Obama and Biden.

    Should teaching or repeating critical theory be a criminal offense?

    We have already crossed that bridge. If parents are not affluent, they don't have a choice and are forced to keep their kids in public schools. Parents should always have a choice and a voice in how their kids are taught.

    Should teaching or repeating critical theory be a criminal offense?

    I do no support CRT in any form but don't believe we should make it criminal. The answer to unwanted speech or speech we disagree with is more speech. However, parents should have a choice on whether or not their children are forced to listen to speech they disagree with as parents. The first...
