Fox regular Byron York opined on how terrible it was that Trump was going to get "stuck with" the blame for anti-abortion zealots like the ones on the Arizona Supreme Court that just ruled that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 is enforceable. Here's more on that ruling: The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a 160-year-old near-total abortion ban still on the books in the state is enforceable, a bombshell decision that adds the state to the growing lists of places where abortion care is effectively banned. The ruling allows an 1864 law in Arizona to stand that made abortion a felony punishable by two to five years in prison for anyone who performs one or helps a woman obtain one. The law — which was codified in 1901, and again in 1913 — outlaws abortion from the moment of conception but includes an exception to save the woman’s life. That Civil War-era law — enacted a half-century before Arizona even gained statehood — was never repealed and an appellate court ruled last year that it could remain on the books as long as it was “harmonized” with a 2022 law, leading to substantial confusion in Arizona regarding exactly when during a pregnancy abortion was outlawed.read more

Someone needs to tell these clueless sexist idiots that if they remain this out of touch with most of the country on abortion and women's reproductive health, a storm is coming for them in November. As I discussed in my other post, for the most part, Fox "news" mainly ignored the radical ruling that came out of Arizona this week, which ruled that a 160-year-old near-total abortion ban still on the books in the state is enforceable, and in one of the few segments where they bothered to tell their viewers about it at all, they had Byron York pretending a Republican state Supreme Court was trying to damage Trump politically. Fox's sister network Fox Business Network covered it when it first broke as well on Larry Kudlow's show, and the reaction to the ruling was every bit as ridiculous as York's, and even more horrific. Here's radio host Mark Simone reacting to the ruling, and telling the women of America that it's no big deal for them to have to drive hundreds of miles to find a doctor.read more
More | Talk | Read It Later | ShareDonald Trump continues to try to delay the start of his first criminal trial - what is being called the "Hush Money Trial" related to payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels. In the last few days, Trump tried to change venue, sued the judge and filed an appeal to delay the start of the trial pending a decision to challenge the gag order. The appeals court has made it clear that barring a natural disaster, Donald Trump will be officially on trial in New York criminal court.
More | Talk | Read It Later | ShareFox News host Sean Hannity told his radio audience that since he doesn't trust the government to handle Social Security and Medicare it should be privatized. Hannity always trusts the government explicitly when a Republican takes charge. Why so many of our fellow Americans trust the government that never put Social Security money in a lockbox, that have now brought it to the brink of insolvency and Medicare to the brink of insolvency?

Jennifer and James Crumbley, parents of Oxford High School shooter, have each been sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison. Their son, Ethan, gunned down four students at his school in Michigan.
More | Talk | Read It Later | SharePoor Donald. Everything is "SO UNFAIR," and it's that big meanie Joe Biden's fault that the former President turned his administration into a crime spree. Except none of this has to do with President Joe Biden, and it has everything to do with the Twice Impeached One being held accountable for his actions, and that would make it the opposite of "unfair." Trump has tried his hardest to blame the President and recently referred to his criminal trials as the "Biden Trials." Sorry, Donald.
