My state, Western Australia, has had some shocking domestic violence murders in the past few years, with legally owned guns. The Government's just passed legislation to allow legally owned guns to be seized from accused DV perpetrators, if the victim expresses fears for their safety.
Oh, and you get *convicted* of DV? No
more guns for you, ever. And everyone now has a maximum of five guns anyway*, because why the fuck does a private citizen need more than five guns???
I'm so sorry, Americans.
* Common sense exemptions for things like gun shops and ranges.
It's as if Clarence Thomas woke up one morning and decided he could not be a POC in this country, and so went about his day insisting that he is not, just like the emperor had no clothes but insisted that all acknowledge his brilliance in fashion. Does he hate himself that much, or is it deflected to all of us? He has brought shame to the SCOTUS, squatting there.
Maybe we should let Clarence live a true 1800s life — like a black man would have. And when he brings up Obergefell again, I’m alll for challenging the Loving vs. Virginia decision. Reap as you sow, Clarence, you fucking asshole!
I did not know that about strychnine. I dig the Cramps, but never considered Lux Interior a reliable source for medical advice. Or advice on anything for that matter.
Of course, if Thomas really wants “originalism”, he should resign now, since there were no Black people on the Supreme Court in the 1800s. There weren’t any cars, cruises, or airplanes either, so he could just sit home all day with Ginny. Ginny wouldn't be allowed to vote, but Thomas probably could. There wasn't any Social Security, but I’m sure one of his billionaire friends would happy to buy them a nice farm where they could work the land and make everything by hand.
Clearance [sic] Thomas might want to join forces with Alito’s buddy from Dobbs who was in favor of marital rape. Alito cited him in his blah blah justifying his majority opinion in Dobbs. Matthew Hale was his name and he was some kind of big deal in the 16th century.
Technically, “only version” does not necessarily mean “only person telling it.” That’s just the simplest way. It can also mean that whoever is around is telling the same story you are.
Clarence Thomas seems to believe that a man's intent to harm a woman is just a passing thought, maybe bad enough to pay a reasonable fine, but certainly not an ongoing threat. Paying the fine wipes the slate clean and restores you to proper society, like paying your debts at the gentlemen's club.
Temporary disarming is as far as the law can or should go. On behalf of many women – fuck you, Clarence.
No opinion on the immunity issue could be due to the majority of the court ruling against Trump and the dissent withholding their opinion until the last day of the term, buying Trump as much time as possible.
I noticed the article about the Victorian couple was from 2015 and I wondered if they were still doing it. Yes they are and guess what they have now: an Instagram account, a youtube channel and a website! I guess they make more money by using those very non Victorian things. I'd also like to point out that of course the corset she is wearing is comfortable because she is not cinching her waist with it. Try cinching your waist and getting that hour glass figure and then tell me how comfortable it is for you.
Somewhat OT, but still related to SCOTUS. No decision yet re presidential immunity. Could that be because SCOTUS are between a rock and a hard place? By making a ruling before November in favor of The Convicted Felon, they risk allowing the current administration to do whatever it wants and face no consequences. If they rule against immunity, they seal TCF's fate in a court of law. Seeing that six of these brilliant legal minds (yes, deep, deep sarcasm) have their lips firmly on TCF's large ass, and their hands in the pockets of his wealthy friends, the outcome seems clear. Hold off rendering a decision until November 1st. Judicial genius Aileen Cannon is also doing her part to drag this out, as well. Of course, that could backfire spectacularly should Mr. Biden be re-elected. What the fluff has happened to this country?

Abusers have rights, their victims do not.

Except that no one could buy him and Ginny a farm, they would not have been allowed to get married then.
Oops.
We should had listened to Anita Hill…

Talk about originalism!
So Clarence Thomas wants women to solve the issue of an abusive partner with arsenic?
I'm down.
So if I was a woman, and a dominionist (oh let's just say) Supreme Court Justice walked up to me threateningly, could I stand my ground?
Just make sure your version of events is the only one around to be heard.
By a woman? Have you forgotten what country we live in now?
Technically, “only version” does not necessarily mean “only person telling it.” That’s just the simplest way. It can also mean that whoever is around is telling the same story you are.
Yes, but, "the only one to be heard" depends on the crowd. Buncha 80's movies in my head.

Oh where, oh where has Sam Alito gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
Has not sat at court these last two days,
Has not been seen in days
Has his recorded statements made him shy,
Now that he has been exposed in a lie?

Regardless they have dragged this out with every delay. I’m with you and starting to doubt it’ll even drop next week.
It’s no pickle though if they just wait to see who wins.
