Gun rights groups argued that the men should not lose their constitutional right to bear arms because of misdemeanor abuse convictions.

The transcript of those proceedings was delicious.

They must’ve been listening at least a bit when RBG, Kagan and Sotomayor burned the Texas solicitor alive when he argued his bullshit “case” before the SC.

It was a Lyanna who protected Jon when he was born.

Did you hear that moreover Texas was hiding the evidence of the NEGATIVE effect the law was already having? The whistle blower in this story is a ducking hero. I want to meet him/her and buy him/her a beer. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/e…

She is a national treasure.

YEEESSSSS.

ALITO IS SUCH A SALTY LOSER.

I have nothing constructive to add, but I would just like to say that I am SO FUCKING RELIEVED.

My favorite line (thus far— I’m still reading) from Breyer’s majority opinion: “We add that, when directly asked at oral argument whether Texas knew of a single instance in which the new requirement would have helped even one woman obtain better treatment, Texas admitted that there was no evidence in the record of…

He beat her vulva and/or vagina with his penis and/or something else. I’m forever unnerved how many rapes involves men sticking painfully large objects into women’s and children’s orifices and then giggling about it on tape. As we’ve seen in the case of that Riverside CA sheriff’s kid, having caught the rapists doing…

IU Grad here. My friends have been going APESHIT about this on facebook. Several still live in the area and pay taxes. It’s really screwed up. Sadly, I work for corrections in another state and can verify it’s not unusual - even here. So not acceptable though. NOT AT ALL.

It’s SO SO sick. What is worse is the townie…

This will help embolden future rapists. The courts in America have made it quite clear that rape is generally acceptable and the lives of women do not matter.

but there’s no such thing as rape culture, right?

You realize Turkey is getting more conservative and more authoritarian, not less so, right?

Very troubling what’s going on in Turkey. Recently, border guards killed 8 Syrian refugees (one man, four women, three children), passed measures to strip immunity from leftist/pro-Kurdish MPs while giving retroactive immunity to security forces to protect them from being prosecuted for human rights abuses, and now…

It’s also possible that Cosby did what he did before - paid them off and make this go away quietly.

That detail about her husband being 79 also struck me - I imagine they both want to enjoy the remaining years of their marriage together in peace.

You know, at 72, I probably wouldn’t want to spend the last several years of my life fighting against a rapist that I would much rather forget. I respect her decision.
