At a certain point it is just willful ignorance to not learn what it is the most evil chunks of our country wants to do and why. ——— Just rolling out of bed, anyway. Yes on second look this is old. I don’t think that takes away from my doomsaying ‘that’s the direction they’re going’, first abortion then the gays then racial hierarchy. These are the traditional values of America that we have stripped away.
Anywhoo here’s an article about it and Il make a follow up post https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2022/03/23/how-indiana-reacted-mike-brauns-comments-interracial-marriage/7138541001/
Everybody who votes for them knows exactly what they stand for. They vote for them because of the fascism, not despite it.
It’s interesting how the only “states’ rights” conservatives care about are the ones involving denying rights to the people.
Unless their definition of “people” is somehow more exclusive.
You wanna know the worst part? In the Senate race that got him elected this time, he was CLEARLY the best Republican candidate. Imagine if Todd Fucking Rokita had won. Actually, it is almost as bad having him as state AG.
Honestly, Rokita would have done less damage in congress.
I’m just not sure. He was my state rep before AG and I’m on a standing “will literally punch him in the face if I get the opportunity” policy.
Luckily Braun is going to maga/stupid up our governor seat :/.
If you ever want to understand just how stupid my district is, YouTube “Rokita dale debate” for the crawfordsville debate and watch the bit on climate change. Rokita won by a LANDSLIDE here.
Oh I know stupid districts. Mine is in Terre Haute, the district of DOCTOR Larry Buchson, who wants to end the ACA and cut healthcare programs.
Also, Terre Haute is even worse than Crawfordsville. And that’s already quite the high bar.
Condolences.
Indiana never misses a chance to be a national embarrassment
This motherfucker is going to be my state’s governor next year, barring anything unprecedented.
He’s likely to be governor, unfortunately
JFC 😬
Authoritarian hierarchy doesn’t preserve itself.
but but but I was told it was the natural order!
who’s gonna tell Vance?
Turns out that just like Trump isn’t really America’s Hitler after all but instead the best of the best, his wife wasn’t really all that great anyway, he never really liked her that much. Good thing she’s gonna get deported to the Camps, it’s about time, really. Then he’ll ride into the sunset with his couch.
Too late! We already have kids. And oh by the way screw you evil shameless republican person! Such awful people just make me feel so weird inside. Like how can there be idiots like that in the world,?
Because there are millions of fuckwits who vote for them. Sorry.
This is absolutely where they are going with this. In case nobody knows, this is the line of cases That decided issues of interracial sex in marriage, sodomy, pornography, abortion, and eventually the right to homosexual marriage.
Obviously, although it need not be said in the document itself because it’s so fucking obvious, it’s inconceivable to any rational person that a constitution which restricts the state from warrantless searches and seizures and be secure in our papers and affects, forbids quartering troops in our homes, protects our right to say what we think, and somehow it is allowed to make your family planning and sexual intimacy decisions. The Supreme Court decided all these things based on this concept, which is called Penumbral Reasoning, for those rights that arise not from the Constitution itself, but which is protected as falling within its penumbra.
And guess what, there are conservative judges that are already clamoring that the Fourth Amendment only protects your property, meaning that if you rent your home or have a mortgage on it, or a lease on your automobile, you don’t have Fourth Amendment rights. They’re coming for them all.
After reading the article, it seems like he’s a moron for answering a question that he didn’t understand. It reads like he didn’t know what subject Loving referred to. Maybe I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt because I’m in an interracial marriage and don’t want to believe that we are at a point where representatives actually think they can advocate getting rid of federal protection for interracial marriage but I don’t actually believe that this idiot knew what question he was answering.
Stick your head in the sand more
How did interracial marriage come to the supreme court anyway? States made laws against it?
