How will we know, when the morning comes, we are still human? - 2D

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

are there any cases on the legality of infibulating a minor ?

(assuming it is not medically necessary and is being done with the express purpose of preventing vaginal penetration)
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

At least for the most part infibulation is reversible. I also note some SCOTUS rulings specifically note foreign jurisprudence.

Perhaps we don't want such a case to go to SCOTUS?


As for male infibulation, ouch.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I am quite certain I don't want to know what infibulation is.

^^^ this ^^^

I appreciate reading about important cases in ordinary language from someone I trust to not consciously spin the analysis.

I'm trying to remember which horribad precedent from way back we are still saddled with - farther back then Citizens United of course. There's gotta be something awful like Dred Scot still on the books, amirite?

Know of any?
