US Politics Thread

It is true. It is the same “the state is not enforcing it so we aren’t violating the constitution or any other federal laws” tactic that Texas employed for their de facto abortion ban prior to the Roe v Wade reversal.

Citizen enforcement is the new way of getting around established precedent and law until your holy high council… I mean, the Supreme Court, can nullify the relevant precedent or law.

And even after, it’s a “cheap” way to scale enforcement and create a religious ‘citizen-police’ surveillance state.

Shows how much bollocks the “hey guys, don’t take the piss out of religion as you should respect their belief” crowd is.

It shouldn't be so difficult to parody, but it is.

Not when the cunts that made that decision based it on their catholic beliefs. Look up ACB and who she’s done plenty of paid talking gigs for. Ultra right wing conservative Christian fanatics.

So no. It’s not remotely nuanced.
