Twisted History 0

A history professor calls out the Supreme Supremacist Court for making stuff up. A snippet:

But the same fallacy appears in the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which struck down the constitutional right to abortion established by Roe v. Wade in 1973. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito invoked “history” 67 times. Whereas Thomas used history to show the deep roots of gun rights, however, Alito scoured the past to demonstrate the absence of abortion rights. “An unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of the common law until 1973,” Alito asserted.

There’s just one problem with that statement: It’s false.

Tell Them What They Want To Hear 0

Jeff Shapiro writes of Virginia Governor Trumpkin’s–er–loose relationship with consistency, particularly as regards his position on abortion. A snippet (emphasis added); follow the link for the evidence.

Youngkin’s rhetorical gymnastics — on an issue that might put out of reach for his party Luria’s and two other Democrat-held suburban congressional seats — do not conceal a reality: He refuses to deal straight with Virginians, the majority of whom favored Roe v. Wade. We know Youngkin stands to the right on abortion, but how far right depends on his audience.

Misdirection Play, the Transphobia Tactic 0

At the San Francisco Chronicle, Scott Wiener, a California state senator who recently received bomb threats about his sexual orientation, susses the strategy. Here’s a bit (emphasis added); follow the link for the rest.

This is a classic diversion tactic. Right-wing leaders are basically saying: See, it’s the queer people who are ruining everything. Not the wage stagnation we’ve created by gutting unions and keeping the minimum wage absurdly low. Not the pandemic, which we’ve all but ignored and told you was fake. Not the increasing temperatures and frequent natural disasters that we pretend aren’t related to climate change. This culture war is designed to avert attention away from the men behind the curtain who can’t govern.
