Quo Vadis GOP?

[crazy canuck]

Trying to convince people that the GOP really is a threat when they mindlessly ignore all of the danger signs? No I don't think I'm gonna stop that.

Let me ask you something; when you read, do you ever try to analyze the text to determine if there is something else being communicated that is not expressly stated?

I can totally believe that CC tries very hard to determine what is being communicated that is not expressly stated.  It's the expressly stated parts that he never bothers with.

About par for the course around these parts.

I don't think that is true at all. There are plenty of people around who actually try to have a conversation with what people say in good faith, or something sort of approaching it.

Genuine slip of the tongue or something more sinister?

Senator Says Legalizing Interracial Marriage Was a Mistake, Backtracks Unconvincingly

Mike Braun of Indiana told reporters that the Supreme Court was wrong to strike down state laws that banned Black and white Americans from wedding.


Republican Sen. Mike Braun is attempting a rather unconvincing cleanup job after telling reporters on Tuesday that the Supreme Court was wrong to strike down state laws banning interracial marriage in its landmark 1967 decision, Loving v. Virginia.

Braun, the junior senator from Indiana, made his comments during a media call in which he argued that policy issues should generally be left in the hands of state governments whenever possible, especially in the case of abortion.

"So you would be OK with the Supreme Court leaving the question of interracial marriage to the states?" a reporter asked.

"Yes," Braun answered. "I think that that's something that if you're not wanting the Supreme Court to weigh in on issues like that, you're not going to be able to have your cake and eat it too. I think that's hypocritical."

But afterward, Braun's office issued a statement attempting to walk back the comment, suggesting he had misunderstood the question despite having seemingly answered with unblinking certitude.

"Earlier during a virtual press conference I misunderstood a line of questioning that ended up being about interracial marriage, let me be clear on that issue - there is no question the Constitution prohibits discrimination of any kind based on race, that is not something that is even up for debate, and I condemn racism in any form, at all levels and by any states, entities, or individuals."

...let me be clear on that issue - there is no question the Constitution prohibits discrimination of any kind based on race...

Not true.  If it had been true, the KKK (whose true stomping ground was Braun's own state) would not have been so infuriated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
