I don't believe that Rick Santorum actually believes this -- he does have a law degree, after all. It's just a plausible narrative that's useful for stirring up the base and getting those all-important direct mail contributions. Maddow did an excellent job of putting him on the spot, however. Via Salon: On Wednesday night’s episode of “The Rachel Maddow Show,” former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum sat down with Rachel Maddow to discuss same-sex marriage and its impact on America, and though the conversation began cordially — Maddow complimented him on his ability to articulate conservative positions, Santorum complimented her for not resorting to personal attacks — it quickly became heated as they debated the finer points of constitutional law. Santorum told Maddow that the Supreme Court overstepped its authority with its ruling in Obergefell v.

Dobbs Had the Opposite Effect Conservatives Intended
Mother Jones, Friday - 05/17/2024 - 01:02 PM
Something curious has happened since the Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision in June 2022: More people have obtained abortions, despite increasing barriers to access. That’s one of the central findings of a new report released Tuesday, which found that there were nearly 86,000 average abortions per month in 2023, compared to about 82,000 a month in 2022.

Greg Abbott Declares Open Season on Protesters in Texas
Mother Jones, Friday - 05/17/2024 - 08:58 AM
On Thursday, purportedly on the advice of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott formally pardoned Daniel Perry for his 2020 murder of Garrett Foster at a Black Lives Matter protest in Austin. I say “purportedly” because Abbott never waited for the board before passing judgment in the case; he announced a little over a year ago that he was “working as swiftly as the law allows” to get Perry out of prison. “Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,” Abbott explained on X at the time.

Denver’s airport turned off filter status lights at all water bottle filling stations. Here’s why — and what’s changing.
Denver Post, Friday - 05/17/2024 - 08:00 AM
Denver International Airport officials confirmed what some hawk-eyed H2O fans had already noticed — the filter status indicators on more than 100 water bottle-filling stations across DIA don’t work. That’s because DIA shut off the indicators about a year ago. The airport’s senior maintenance official said this week that the decision was made because the indicators were throwing off maintenance cycles. The filter indicator light is disabled on a water bottle filling station on Denver International Airport’s Concourse C on May 9, 2024, in Denver.
