Commissioners in Texas voted to outlaw the act of transporting another person along their roads for an abortion.

Exactly how would they inforce that?

Summary execution?

It's like watching dominos fall in slow motion...can't wait till it gets to the end. 

Trump co-defendant Jenna Ellis pleads guilty in Georgia election case (msn.com)

Jenna Ellis, a former lawyer for Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign, pleaded guilty Tuesday to illegally conspiring to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia, making her the third attorney associated with the former president to accept a plea deal in the sweeping criminal racketeering case.

It occurred to me that there are diminishing returns from flipping defendants - anyone who hasn't flipped yet best be doing so yesterday.

Yup, it wouldn’t be the worst thing if more defendants said, ‘Hey, I want in on that deal!’ only to be told by the prosecutors, ‘Sorry, we’ve met our quota. See you in court.’

I wanna see 'em all in the courtroom testifying against Trump. Every damn one. I don't care if they have to rent out a football stadium in order to fit everybody.

That is, if he doesn't choke to death on the gag order(s) first.

In an ideal world, I'd see the the whole lot in prison.

In this non-ideal world, as long as the ringleader gets what's coming, I'm ok with the rest of them cutting deals.

It looks like the Republicans have a nominee for Speaker. It only took them five rounds of voting. Doesn’t bode well for the whole House vote.

I'd accept firing squads.

Exactly how would they inforce that?

"Your papers, please."

Some small government, that!

I had a mental image of them pulling over Planned Parenthood vans, pregnancy testing all women (having false positive tests at the ready), then claiming 'they needed killin'. We are talking about TX.

If memory serves, it's one of those laws modeled on the one where citizens can sue other citizens for violation of the statute. Essentially vigilante justice.
