politifact is being disengenuous by saying it only effects trans elderly to make sure they can't get kicked out of homes. lawl yeah im sure thats the only measure the bill specifies.

if it did i'd vote for it. who gives a fuck

accelerationism?

No, this is serious. They already do something like this in NYC.

National Review is the original Conservative news magazine.

It's analogous to The New Republic or The Nation and the left wing analogs.

@GingaBomber only CA for now, but it won't just stay there.

Too much to ask I guess

When NYC passed, people made "it's only NYC comments." This would be the first time it's a whole state.

The nursing and medical limitation is to avoid people really thinking about it.

Thats kinda how they work. It'll only be this. It's like talking to a child.

Its a wormy response.

"quit making slippery slope arguments"

as we salami slice your rights.

Its the lefts favourite fallacy

"It doesn't affect me, why should I care"

stop with all the strawmen, that'll never happen like that

It affects me, you should care

So you guys saw this shit too...

Kavanaugh not being allowed to be in the same room as Ford, and having to 'testify' first.

I really really *really* wanted to approach this one unbiased

But it just keeps getting worse.

Rumor mill says Grassley ain't having any of this shit.

Damn straight.

In this nation, you have a right to face your accuser.

And making him go first is virtually making him testify against himself, as well.

As there won't be an official allegation until AFTER he testifies.

There is a simple fucking expectation I have of someone in Ford's situation.

Testify. Under Oath. Unconditionally.

This is an obvious fucking GAME that they're trying to play.

She doesn't remember when.

She doesn't remember where.

They have the power to command her to testify. Judiciary Committee can just subpoena her. There's a federal airfield 15 minutes from her house. Have federal marshals escort her there, government plane to Andrews AFB.

She's supposedly not in her house anymore.

She's been receiving 'death threats'.

Doesn't matter. Give the lawyer the subpoena. She can contact her.

^ ^ ^

Absolutely.

This is a 'speak now or forever hold your peace' moment.

whappened to innocent till proven guilty?

No, this is beyond holding your peace.
