Marilyn Lands, a Democrat who made reproductive rights a central part of her campaign, will win a special election Tuesday for an Alabama state House seat, CNN projects.

Her victory serves as another data point for national Democrats, who hope the backlash over strict state abortion laws following the overturning of Roe v. Wade and concerns about in vitro fertilization treatments will help their party in November, even in traditionally Republican areas.

Why would he even bother with all of the red tape and process to pass laws? He would just issue imperial edicts executive orders to do whatever he wanted. Laws have never meant shit to him. And why would they? He breaks them with impunity and never faces any real consequences. If he has an unfriendly congress, he'll ignore them.

Well there’s the fact that the Supreme Court regularly overturned his Executive Orders the first time and also the fact that they are limited in scope and can be reversed as easily as they are issued.

Yeah, the Supreme Court has sure shown how it’s going to be an impediment to him lately…

Yeah, they have. Thanks for agreeing.

Some days I just wish I could view the world through the addled brains of dolts like you who are just incapable of the most basic critical thinking... It must be a terrifying reality for you, just feeling your way blindly through the dark. It's honestly sad as fuck.
