I don't know where you're getting that idea.

The politicians that are coming up with this shit are getting the idea from where they get all their ideas: that's how they want things to be and so they will declare it is so. Until they have a majority on the court but a minority in congress, when their opinion will shift in the most dramatic fashion and they will pretend to have never heard of any of this.

I don't know who you think "they" is, but the "they" to which I belong is currently out of power in all three branches. I don't change my opinions for convenience. You don't know me so please stfu about things you have no way of knowing.

I apologize, when I said "they" I wasn't referring to you, although I can see now my reply makes it look that way - I was referring to the Texas politicians (and when I looked it up, I discovered that even Federal politicians are entertaining this idea) - "they" are just making shit up because it suits them basically.

Sorry, again, didn't mean anything at all directed at you.

Edit: edited my original post to try and be more clear

Cool. I guess I was a little harsh and assuming there myself. That's my bad.
