Federal judge temporarily blocks Ohio's heartbeat bill

WayneDalton comments on Jul 4, 2019:

I fear it will not matter in the long run;spineless judges will still find a way to enact this law.why as a country,do we seem to be determined to regress?

mcgeo52 replies on Jul 4, 2019:

@WayneDalton, I don't believe that we, as a country, are regressing. The Republicans have done their best to rig the system (e.g., gerrymandering and vote suppression) and cheat (the last legitimately elected President was Eisenhower), so that the government does not truly reflect the will of the people. For all of their rigging and cheating the Republicans are a shrinking and dying minority. If we can survive the next election, I still have hope for our country.

@SeaGreenEyez, with all due respect, as someone who lives in a state with term limits, I will never support them. I remember when, before term limits, I could call my State Senator or Assembly Member with a problem and get it resolved, usually within a day or two. Now, by the time my elected representative figures out how to help me, they are termed out and gone. California is being run by the bureaucrats and the lobbyists. And I can't vote any of them out of office.

Just think about it...

@KKGator, Ike was nonpartisan until he ran for President. Both parties actually tried to recruit him. I have a theory that he was really an FDR Democrat at heart. Look at his '56 platform. It is slightly to the left of Bernie Sanders. Brilliant strategist that he was, he knew that the monied interests would never accept that from a Democrat, but if he ran as a Republican, he could push things a lot farther.

mcgeo52 replies on Jun 25, 2019:

@brentan, start with the statute: **8 U.S. Code § 1158. Asylum ( a ) Authority to apply for asylum (1) In general** Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225( b ) of this title. If they are here to apply for asylum, they have the legal right to do so. Trump is taking people who have reached the US and requested asylum and sending them back to Mexico. He has no legal right to do that. Once they have applied for asylum, they are entitled to a hearing, and to remain in the US until the conclusion of the hearing. While in the US they are protected by the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution.

@IamNobody, how many Trump supporters have to call themselves Nazis? How many Nazis does Trump have to call fine people? As for the camps, people who were in concentration camps are saying that the children are being held in concentration camps. And Webster's defines concentration camp as: a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard. place - check large numbers of people - check refugees - check detained or confined - check armed guard - check AOC was absolutely correct.

@altschmerz, Obama was aware of Russian interference in the election. He informed the Congressional leaders. McCornhole said that if Obama went public with it he would claim it was a politically motivated move. Look closer into McCornhole's ties with Russia. And look closely at the fact that he is the one person doing everything he can to block fair elections. He has some interesting ties to some of the companies that make the actual voting equipment. Whether he knew specifics about the Russian involvement, he was aware of it. That is a matter of record. He also, per the evidence, was aware the election would not go to Hillary. Whether that would be because of Russia, or Diebold I don't know. The point is that he knew our government was under a very insidious attack and he gave aid and comfort to those attacking us. That is treason.

The obscenities and descriptions that I can think of don't do justice to this situation.

@altschmerz, think about that for a second. At the time McCornhole blocked Garland, Hillary was a 90%+ favorite to win the election. She would most likely just nominate Garland or someone else even less acceptable to Bitch. What possible reason could he have for expending that amount of political capital, for a full year, just to lose? The only way it makes any sense from a political standpoint is if Bitch McCornhole *knew* (against 90%+ odds) that Hillary would not be elected. If he knew that, as the evidence strongly argues, then he is a traitor and deserves to be executed.
