This is what was reported on the original finding: According to the Guardian, McFarlane’s ruling has established “the first legal definition of a mother in English common law,” one that stipulates “motherhood” to be “about being pregnant and giving birth regardless of whether the person who does so was considered a…

So you’re saying that judges don’t create, and write, the common law? That’s what it is entirely. 

You said a judge doesn’t write or change the law, that’s false. Not sure why you’re battling here - judges change the law all the time, that’s how we’ve progressed in our society more quickly because we don’t HAVE to wait on changes to codes and regulations for all things - sometimes judicial rulings are then…

Not true ... judges make the law as well. They interpret, expand and define what’s in the regulation or legislation. That’s the 2nd part of the legal system. Most often, legal changes happen at the bench level. It’s an important part of our legal framework. It’s called common law, rather than statutory. Abortion isn’t…

How so? It’s not gendered, it’s true. What else would you call the person who carried the child? Gestational carrier means the person who biologically carried the child - it doesn’t implicate gender if you’re allowed to designate the carrier’s gender. 

I have been waiting for the wacko shoe to drop with Denise ... she was so sweet and unassuming last season, but you just know someone who has chosen to be with Charlie Sheen is GOTTA be bananas.  And here we have it.  Thank all the Bravo gods for good starts to the RHONY and RHOBH seasons! We need them now more than…

On a good day, I’m plagued with anxiety dreams - recently they’ve been getting SO weird.  Totally unconnected to COVID, just banana pants weird.  I feel like this has to be related.  Maybe it’s the instability of everything and the lack of any control that’s made them so weird? 

I say without hesitation, without doubt, that this has been MY personal highlight of isolation. Patti you are a breath of fresh. 

I ended up ordering an at home UV gel nail kit and it has changed me! I’ve always been a messy nail painter, but I’ve gotten a lot better and find myself probably doing my nails too much given the UV rays of it all.  Thanks for these tips! I’m always looking to up my game.

I broke my wrist after slipping on ice in December ... that description triggered some MAJOR unpleasant memories. Luckily, I moved to Canada last year! #freewristbreak

It is BAFFLING why you are posting these comments and bending over backwards to seemingly defend, even though you swear you’re not, a truly shitty corporate citizen.  But sure... I’m the one not getting it. 

I’m just not sure why you went to so much effort to stop us from condemning them for this and then you went and proved it. A person’s original statement on something is what they meant ... you go along telling me there are lots of reasons to dislike them and somehow this you find hard to believe? Come on, why doth the…

Yeah absolutely

The founder named the company that b/c he thought Asian people couldn’t pronounce it ... but yeah, let’s give them the benefit of the doubt.

Cadbury anything is better in the UK - they’re literally different recipes. It’s sad! I loooooove cadbury mini eggs, but in North America they’re just not the same.

KellyAnne is the painting, Kayleigh is Dorian Grey getting to live life out in the world.

Man they really use a putty for makeup on these women don’t they? Lord - it’s like just spackle.

I don’t think she was starting ballet - I think she was going to a new studio. 

I’m so glad you’re doing better! 

Would have been only a matter of time really ... such a real shame.
