darn good thing that Puerto Rico doesn't have any laws of its own!

What would you expect from the vagina doctor who dispenses spiritual advise to men who cheat on their wives.

I would dig up that recent dissent where Scalia quotes the Talmud as part of his reasoning (i.e. 3,000 year old foriegn law), but I am too lazy and we know these people are hypocrites regardless.

I'd add opportunists to flounder's comments.

Coburn: "And yet we allow it for any reason, at any time, for any inconvenience under the health of the woman aspect."

'The health of the woman' is a nonissue, of course. Your job, ladies, is to pump out babies--period! God gave you that womb and it is an offense not to use it!!!

Monty (@ 5:16), don't leave out the men. Remember, every sperm is sacred. I'm sure the repugs would outlaw vasectomies and masturbation if they thought they could get away with it.

And no one should read books written by foreigners! Or watch movies made by foreigners! Or eat food grown in foreign countries! And no one who leaves the country should be allowed back in!

Well, there goes Greek, Roman and British common law - all right out the window.

"Well, there goes Greek, Roman and British common law - all right out the window."

In fairness, i think British common law pre 1776 is OK.

As Michael W alludes, above - Jeez, it's all about abortion and sex with these guys, isn't it? They remind me of the Brits in those self-deprecating films like "No Sex, Please; We're British". Why is it that a party which espouses values such as "barefoot n' pregnant" and no sex until you're married and, when it's finally time, no wierd positions.....why is it that such a party turns out to contain so many.....ahem...sexual adventurers, shall we say?

In most any other situation, that would fall firmly under the label of "hyopocrisy". In Conservittyville, it's just business as usual.

What is the GOP's position on the Monkey Farm in Guayama City in Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the U.S. - I'm not sure about the comment, good thing PR doesn't have any of its own laws.

Or is it a joke, meaning that the sen. probably don't know that!

This also completely disregards the fact that in these same countries that have SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE that abortion is paid for by the state?!? Something that the GOP is ready to have a totally hissy fit about...

Uh, weren't the enlightenment and democracy a foreign idea from France?

I'm sorry, but it's really hard to take anyone who's conservative seriously these days.

A poster child for the wingnuts is Jeff Sessions's pal, Judge Roy Moore.

"Roy Moore is a genuine celebrity for the Religious Right in America — his perpetual court cases over his various displays of the Ten Commandment have become a popular cause for fundamentalists around the country. Because of this, the court cases involving Moore play an important role in the relationship not only between church and state, but also between separationists and America’s religious right. "

Note that the Ten Commandments were given to Moses on Mt Sinai, which was not in or even near the US, and were written in Aramaic, a language now only spoken in parts of what is now Iraq. This makes the Ten Commandments indisputably foreign, along with everything else in the Bible, including Jesus.

The next time some senator (surely born again, all the wingnuts are) rants about "foreign legal ideas," I hope someone reminds the audience of this embarassing fact.

Of course, 85-90% of abortions performed in this country occur within the first 12 weeks.

This split shows up with state/federal rights. Republicans tend to play one against the other whenever it suits their intended result.

Even on the same issue they switch positions. If they could get a constitutional amendment on an important issue, the issue should be controlled by federal law. But if they can't, they want states to be able to pass laws which might infringe the US constitution (because the area of law should be left to the states).

I haven't been able to watch much of the hearings so maybe I missed it, but I've been waiting to hear somebody make the obvious point - what about law review articles and Restatements of the Law? Those aren't binding either, but they are referred to for insight all the time. Would conservatives forbid those too? This whole fake issue is so intellectually dishonest that it hurts my soul.

Good afternoon. Hello. COOL SITE. NICE CONTENT. I WISH YOU SACCESS. Help me! Please help find sites for: Window coverings gallery. I found only this - window coverings environment.
