Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Yup, boarder towns in red states are going to start stopping women as they travel through their towns to make sure they aren't pregnant.

That has to violate the 4th Amendment.

From The Bill of Rights:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

You can’t just assume any & all pregnant women are going to get an abortion, so that’s not probable cause.

as if these lunatics care for the constitution and its rights, unless it benefits them.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Nah, they never gave a shit about the Constitution. It's just like the Bible for them, they can tell their voters it says whatever they want it to and they know damn well none of them have ever read it and never will.

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the bible means whatever they want it to mean. They make whatever argument will support their position of power, credible or not.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

They haven't even gone to the trouble of making a version of the Bible that supports their worldview.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That's not true! Every time a room full of 6 years gets shot up they read half of the second amendment! They never read the rest but go fuck yourself if you're going to stop them from murdering rooms of children.

Just need an attorney that wants to stand agaisnt this. Every woman pulled over in these cities should call them up and he sues the city under the 4th ammendment.

They'll all go broke pretty quick and their courts will be tied up permanently. Either the town will financially collapse or realise that the law is just to harrass people.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The people that would want to die over this are probably, sadly enough, the ones who cannot even afford to do so as they'd be financially ruined for the rest of their life just for the cost of a lawyer alone.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd think the commerce clause would be the applicable one here.

Dormant commerce clause and right to travel.
