Well I saw the alert and was like meh I can cobble together a quick article but then I found myself in the data worm hole.

I genuinely wished the MSM would

1) explain how onerous this law really is

1a) the judicial carve outs

1b) the six year statute of limitations is INSANE

2) the abdication of law makers to deputize the citizenry to enforce this law is -one of the most basic miscarriages of lawmakers

3) the duality of cloaking themselves in sovereign immunity while giving a green light to bounty hunters - makes me see red

I sent your piece to my daughter to read. She called yesterday after reading up on the Texas law and we discussed it some.

My heart aches for the women that are directly impacted by these actions. I firmly believe our rights will be preserved, but in the meantime, women will suffer. As you said, most feeling the pain will be African America and Latino women of Texas. I did see there are organizations that will help those with financial concerns, and I truly hope they take advantage of any and all assistance that is offered.

I pray for those "flaccid misogynistic souls", that God may have mercy on them... Contrary to their treatment of their fellow citizens

The disproportionate impact on women of color is why I genuinely think this law is entrenched in racism. Fun Fact - the state of Texas is NOT a white majority - if you look at the recent US census data - at 1st glance sure it looks like whites are the majority but the plurality shows that they are not.

Like I said I have family in Texas - i jokingly told one family today between Covid-19 and the abortion law - we won’t be visiting until 2025 <snort>

I know, that why I can't figure out how the hell they got that asshat in the governor's office in the first place! Between him and cruz, there should be enough incentive for every Texan to GET OUT AND VOTE!

Ted Cruz is what jock itch would look like in human form.

Which legislator in TX do I call to submit some emergency legislation that: 1. Forces child support beginning at 6 weeks pregnancy, and 2. Allows for women to make a bounty on unmarried men who refuse to wear a condom, and 3. Sets a new rule that males out of wedlock should get a vasectomy until they are ready for pregnancy.

At least until this horseshit bill gets thrown out in court. 😤

Asking for me and my uncontrollable eye twitch.

Way to drop a bomb, AG Garland … it’s like he was preparing for this shit. 😎👍

Thank you for clarifying this. I believe all the Bull sht trump's failed presidency including his administration and barr's DOJ put this country through has a lot to do with the frustrations many on Twitter, including myself, have expressed. You're definitely right we should read up on law before going off the deep end. Thanks for sharing your research. I certainly wouldn't know where to begin. I imagine that's why social media platforms are used so successfully to destroy many countries, it's because we're so easily manipulated.

With the hardships we face in our daily lives many of us rely on people we consider knowledgeable to explain it to us. I've been on Twitter since 2016, and wasn't into politics. I joined twitter to keep an eye on My Green Bay Packers.💛💚 After Hillary lost my world was no longer safe. I feel a lot of guilt for not paying attention to what our government was doing to us and what they were doing to the rest of the world.

Anyhow, I've learned a lot, and I am still Easley manipulated by some. Until my common sense says hey that can't be right. Then I move on because I don't need anyone lying to me

You've always been straight up, and too the point. Your research and straight forward analysis is incredible, and I'll be honest some times it's way over my head. At least the information is their, along with the receipts. You're awesome.

Well, I'll try to be more understanding towards AG Garland and the enormous work load he has in front of him. I'm grateful for the dedication of the FBI and DOJ. It's fascinating and complicated work. Thank you for taking so much time to help us understand. You're so damned Kool I don't know how you do it. You work, you have a family, and you write wonderful analysis on so many topics. 👀🤗😉 I hope you and your family had a wonderful labor day weekend.👏💗
