Abdhy, supporters of the "people's filibuster", or whatever, are always going to believe it's appropriate to discard the rules of governance when it's useful, and shield themselves with those rules when it's useful. To storm the halls when they don't get what they want by normal means, and expect the same institutions they are rejecting to respect them.
It's the more ominous version of taking over the Dean's office on campus.
When the "rules" determined that talking about Roe V. Wade during a debate on the legality of an abortion bill in your state is not on topic and dismiss your filibuster? Yeah, fuck those rules. The game is fixed.
I wasn't listening, but on a bill declaring that you need a hospital room instead of an outpatient clinic to perform the procedure, I'm legitimately unclear on how Roe v Wade is related.
did you forget the bill outlaws abortion after 20 weeks?
I hope Wendy doesn't end up in the national congress where she won't have any effect
since that institution is probably broken until we have a large scale violent uprising or something after housing crash #7 when people can't afford the new ipad anymore

Sen. Garcia said vote was taken at 12:03 a.m.
Gallery cleared by troopers. Senate plans to reconvene in a while. West plans to question validity of SB5. Senate has not adjourned.

well the ominousness of it is because of the possibility of something not like this happening.

Because the decision included placing undue burden on those seeking abortions, which would include shutting down all but five clinics in a state larger than France.
Reopened my third eve account. Officially have no life.
What do you need three accounts for?
One for combat, one for mining (I guess?) and one for?
one for blackops bs that can covert bridge stealth bombers
one for prober that can fling stealth bombers at scrubs
one for bomb truck to carry bombs for when stealth bombers need more to bomb people with
So you can run a one man stealth destruction show? That's pretty baller.

And suddenly I am dreaming of an EvE where you get to control a small fleet instead of just one ship.
Oh gods I need new pants.
I would just be fcing a bunch of other guys in bombers.
Also you can already do that with isboxer.

The notion that 'the system works' because you can just vote for 'the other guy' is so hilariously naive.
If this bill passed, it'll be the courts the defeat it, or won't. Either way, voting for 'the other guy' will do nothing to repeal this bill.

y'see, it always starts with insisting that all your elected representatives are illegitimate, and that the mob is the real legitimate representative of the people
from a state where the ruling party is upending decades of state norms on the basis of "we have a mandate" when they got 7% fewer votes than the other party last election but gained seats, I'm having trouble accepting the validity of your argument
Insisting my representatives are illegitimate is like insisting water is wet
perhaps it's because a substantial minority of your state is so culturally dissociated from the rest of it that it has a complete and utter disagreement over what are appropriate norms in governing procedure?
this level of disconnection only really resolves itself when the shooting starts

unfortunately I see a near zero percent chance of this changing anything in the long haul, and I would be shocked if this is the last abortion restriction texas has
we'll see our first miscarriage execution in Texas, in all likelihood*
*unless the woman manages to get pregnant while on death row, in which case it would be murder to execute her

Yep, being able to trade game time for in game cash is amazing. No one would pay 7*10-15 dollars a month to run that many accounts. But finding 7 people who'll sell you a month of gametime for 500ish million isk? Easy as fuck.

There's no disconnection to be had, the Republicans know they don't have a mandate, they've rigged the rules to sell as much of Wisconsin as toxic waste dumping ground as they can before they're EVENTUALLY tossed in a 15 point loss at some point and take lucrative jobs in the private sector
along the way if they ban abortion and crush unions, so much the better

Holy fuck.
Ok so some of the repub senators came forward and admitted they were not entirely sure what bill they voted on, yes, this is real life
My plan back in the day was to make a dedicated mining account in EvE, and use it to pay for its own monthly game time and just send the excess straight to my mercenary in Dust 514.
But then Dust 514 turned out to be really bad.

It's kind of telling that no one knows what the hell is actually going on.
the threat of a low-level democratic body being hijacked by an organized concentrated interest because its local opposition is too diffuse is an omnipresent one
the only real permanent cure is to dissolve the body and revert its powers to a sufficiently senior level of representation, such that elected representatives are actually representative, due to a diffusion of interest imposed by sheer size
all American states are arguably too small, even California and Texas, since both tend to be dominated by one of their national parties each. But "dissolve Texas" is hardly going to be on the average American's political horizon.

Dissolve Texas in acid, however, would probably have a significant amount of supporters though.
