    There is no federal law banning abortions

    How long do you thing that would last under a Trump presidency with a house majority? I’d give it 6 months.

      only a a house majority?

      Kinda need the senate in there, too. but if they have all three? it depends on how long it takes to figure out who the speaker is… once that’s settled, maybe a week?

      but again; you’re not going to be convincing the government to not go buy something as valuable as that; and much, much more cost effective than other ways to get it; when it’s publicly available for sale.

        Just an off-topic reminder to people that who controls each branch of government isn’t three independent variables. With the senate map favorable to them, if Trump wins the presidency, Republicans probably also won the House and Senate.

          See you say that.

          But all I heard is “Get out and vote!”

          I would have added an expletive or two…

        All they have to do is have Trump fire everyone at the FBI and then have you arrested once they replace everyone with his goons. Doesn’t matter what they charge you with, you get to the Supreme Court and then Roberts rules against you with the majority because wearing masks was illegal in Massachusetts in 1777. Your case didn’t involve masks, you’ve never been to Massachusetts. Bill to remove the justices fails because a Senate supermajority is required. You now have to wait decades in jail or until Congress does the right thing, choose the shortest.

          I mean, if we’re going to be making up doomsday scenarios, there better be a cell mate named bubba.
