    If an undocumented immigrant is pregnant, could she claim that the fetus was conceived in America and that the government was deporting a US citizen?

    I’m just asking questions.

    Irony ... We are to bow before the Caterwauling One's 30 years of "dealing with constitutional issues," especially as re: how wrong is Justice Alito ... who was admitted to the bar right around the time they invented water.

    I think you find that under the “We The People” clause of the Constitution.

    Wait this whole time I thought you meant general welfare from the preamble which is not a thing. Did you mean from the power to lay and collect taxes? As in they can collect and spend money to keep the country going not to use it to guarantee abortions? As in the New Deal was justified because spending tax money was a power of the federal government?

    And, again, abortions can be banned federally because the government can tie it to the commerce clause through the necessary and proper clause or (if I want to get fancy here) make it so the enforcement of antiabortion laws must be done through the full faith and credit clauses because state must honor the laws of other states and people coming in for abortion tourism constitutes a violation of the full faith and credit of other states protections for unborn children*















    * That actually isn’t a thing that can happen because the court has rejected other arguments similar to that in trying to enforce the 14th Amendment but it makes me sound like I have a degree from a Cracker Jack box (emphasis on cracker) too

    What if the NCAA then said, "We're taking the College World Series out of Omaha?"

    What if softball players decided they won't play the Women's College World Series in another Taliban state, Oklahoma?

    I'm not naive enough to think either of those things is going to happen. But the majority has to start fighting back somehow and make the Taliban states pay for their decisions.

    One reason they can't do that: It would put pressure on conferences and would leave many of them with nowhere to play their league tournaments.

    True. We have to pull up our Spanx and tell these fuckers that is enough is enough. And if the NCAA won't do it, then maybe individual teams should do it. We have got to stop rewarding these people for being complete fuckwads.
