No way that passes, is there? There have to be 5 GOPs who would vote against that (whether they're from blue districts or maybe some actually do believe in states' rights). So then it comes down to: would there be any Dems who vote for it?

Of course it wasn't. I was appalled by my so-called libertarian friends that dismissed the Dobbs case as being a states rights thing, when this was absolutely coming.


Control. They want control. Of everything.

Libertarians are now a party exclusively of people who want the age of consent lowered or people who never matured past 18.

Oh, wait, i guess the latter explains the former.
 
Without looking: Cuellar? Dude sucks, but has turned back plenty of well-funded Democratic primary challengers in the past.

So, 1 then. Need 6 GOP defectors. I think this is going to be another GOP own goal. Won’t become law, forces GOP members to go on the record, and further divides the GOP. The Dems should absolutely let this come to a floor vote.

Agreed. This isn’t a winning issue for the GOP.

It's become equivalent to "independent Constitutional conservative" in a social media bio. I see a lot of "Libertarian-ish" as well, particularly with pro-birth accounts who don't subscribe to a belief in female bodily autonomy and/or LGBTQ+ rights, but think they're libertarian because they're some combo of anti-vax, anti-tax, anti-regulation, and believe in horsesh*t uniparty/NWO/WEF/Bilderberg/etc. conspiracies.

Basically, these are all now just ways for the "I have a right to be an a55hole" crowd to self-identify as a55holes without calling themselves Republicans.

Agreed. Libertarianism has moved from weird uncle territory to pacific northwest paramilitary insanity.

She hasn't even written a bill yet, much less submitted it. If it's written with enough exceptions it will pass, especially if the Republicans make their members vote. Then it goes to the Senate, where it should die, but do you want to bet your house on Schumer and company not phucking it up somehow?
 
This has happened with my Mom (96) and it is terrifying and sad.

I'm very sorry for the family, and, hey, maybe let's not hammer Pelosi quite so much now, eh Nazis?
