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 That Civil War-era law — enacted a half-century before Arizona even gained statehood — was never repealed and an appellate court ruled last year that it could remain on the books as long as it was “harmonized” with a 2022 law, leading to substantial confusion in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

  • Disaster Relief Backers Force a House Vote
    Political Wire, Thursday - 05/16/2024 - 02:06 PM

    “Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) has 218 signatures on a discharge petition to get his disaster tax relief bill to the House floor,” Punchbowl News reports. “That’s enough backing to force a House vote and a rare mark to hit. Discharge petitions, which force leadership’s hand, are almost never successful. The earliest the petition would come up would likely be early June, given there’s a waiting period before signatories could take their next steps.”

    “The House was in session at the Capitol on Thursday, but thanks to the latest procession of Republicans reporting for duty in front of a Manhattan criminal courthouse to show support for former President Donald J. Trump at his trial, the party risked ceding its control of the floor,” the New York Times reports. “Almost a dozen House Republicans showed up at the courthouse on Thursday…” “Republicans control the House by such a slim margin, 217-213, that just two defections can sink legislation if all members are present and voting — and just a few absences can erase their majority altogether.

What if, post-debate, Biden’s numbers crater?” “Well, by stress-testing this possibility on June 27, Democrats are still ahead of the convention and could, in theory, swap out candidates should Biden decide to step aside.” “I don’t think that’s going to happen.
