Alabama and Abortion

Alabama just passed an amendment that

"make(s) it state policy to recognize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children, including the right to life and to state that no provisions of the constitution provide a right to an abortion or require funding of abortions."

Kavanaugh makes this likely to withstand a Constitutional challenge (he lied about Roe being settled law). We are on our way back to the time when abortion was illegal and women were criminals.

Deep in the heart of Texas

My wife, an accountant, went to visit one of her clients (a feed mill) in a small central Texas town today and overheard two young guys who work at the mill talking about how they hope 45 is removed from office soon. Let that sink in: two young white males working at a small town Texas feed mill are hoping trump is impeached (and they did say impeached) soon. Maybe there is hope for a blue...ish wave in Texas after all!
