'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Wow.
Okay so if you were gay married and you lived in a state that bans it - you could still get the federal married person tax break but not be allowed to visit your spouse in the hospital?
I can't help but think that the Deen case/story totally shows the problems with SCOTUS' arguements for knocking down that key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
Ok, please tell me I am not the only one who had context problems with the first half of this sentence.
Er...I just re-read that. My focus today is NONE.
I can't help but think that the Deen case/story totally shows the problems with SCOTUS' arguements for knocking down that key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
Or the fact that they immediately implemented a voter ID law in Texas that had been rejected by the Feds?
I may be wrong, but I think the redistricting in TX might be worse than the ID law.
I hope some people stage multiple day flash mobs at centers to get IDs.
Redistricting is tricky, I think.
Edit: I mean, conceptually, I don't know anything about what's going on in TX.
They are redistricting the fuck out of Texas.
For example, Austin, TX, is split across five or six congressional districts, so that Democrats can't get a majority in any of them.
What a push pull of emotions. Yay for DOMA and Prop 8 decisions. Boo for Voters Rights decision. Yay Wendie. Boo Texas.
They are redistributing the BLUE out of Texas.
