Dems outnumbered 2-1 in Kansas.

These are not Democratic voters driving these numbers.

This is not a pro-choice vote it is a pro freedom vote.

Pretty amazing.  AP reported

the electorate in Tuesday s vote wasnt typical for a Kansas primary, particularly because tens of thousands of unaffiliated voters cast ballots.   

Sometimes you CAN herd cats.
Nice to see an overwhelming endorsement of SCOTUS.
You Comically Transparent Partisan Hack.

A right has no legitimacy without the consent of the governed.
No. The whole point of Constitutional rights is to protect people from the "consent of the governed". You should try to read some of Madisons Federalist Papers and the debates over the Bill of Rights. Or in your case, have someone read them to you real slow.

A "right" protected only by popularity with the electorate is not a right at all. It is a privilege that can be removed at will.
Except that the Kansas vote was not a popularity vote
And every Constitutional protection listed or amended to the original Constitution was granted by the governed.
I would suggest you research John Locke on consent of the governed  or, if you are lazy, Thomas Jefferson and his most famous words.


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed . . ."
Among the areas of your ignorance, the historical purpose of the Declaration of Independence and its role as a.legal document in our system, the difference between Governments drawing their power from the consent of the governed and rights existing only with the consent of the governed and basic English.
I am sure you were trying to say something.
What was it?
That you are an idiot. Wait, I better type that more slowly. You     are      an       idiot.
You could not LOL!

Poor Josh was all loaded up with bigotry against Kansas  Republicans hiding behind  their bibles
to cast the devil out of their state Constitution and move toward outlawing abortion.
But those Kansans instead supported the Constitution deciding not change it.
Now Josh is left to finding something to bitch about but is still searching for a reason.
He can

Ward is having a bad day, just not quite as bad as Alex Jones or the people he conspired with through his phone.

One thing that I remember about Alexis de Tocqueville is one thing that he loved about America was that people could come to America and they could start fresh. The poor people from Europe could come to the USA and they could start fresh. The people in America never met the people from Europe before, so they could clean themselves up and start fresh, and people who were poor in Europe could become wealthy aristocrats in America.

Alexis loved that people could get a fresh start in America. And Christians believe in redemption, we believe that you can repent and that you can be forgiven, but you cannot be forgiven if people continue to punish you for past sins, so Alexis loved that the Europeans could come to the USA where no one knew them and where no one knew about their past sins, where the people could start fresh and where even a sinner can rise to the top.

Salute,

Tony V.

It is 2022. Biden will run or he will not.

Speaking of polls...

Congress Party Control Preference

Democrats   50%

Republicans 43%

Any self reflection would kill him instantly. If he stops posting it Is likely because he accidentally stumbled across a mirror for the first time in his life.

Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a former chair of the House Republican Conference, told a reporter last month that Republicans in the chamber wouldn't put forward a national abortion ban "before the election," before adding, "Well, yeah" when asked if they would if they won the House in 2022.

So much for blowWard's assurances that abortion would be left to the states.

Guess you continue to fail to admit what everybody knows, which is that this SCOTUS has no logical bounds on its decisions and therefore if Congress managed to pass a national restriction on abortion they would rubber stamp it, over Roberts' dead body.
