The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I'm fuzzy on the details. What I'm remembering was related to FISA and the Bush admin ignoring it when it came to conversations with overseas parties that had been marked as threats. Or something like that. I apologize for the poor memory, but I think others are filling in the pieces.

I could throw out a different one based on an item in the local news here in Phoenix today related to a challenge to a law that requires a 24 hour wait after the initial consultation prior to getting an abortion. It does seem to me that any law placing any form of anything on abortion is typically run with by the left proclaiming it to be the beginning of the end of reproductive choice.

And honestly, I don't fault them for doing so. What happens is the look at what the next step might be and therefore want no movement at all in that direction.

I thought that was already the law. I have no problem with a waiting period of 24 hours after consultation. It's a life changing decision.

But I'd love to see all the faux clinics (that are really right-to-life offices) closed down.

Then again, I'm a member of the "left" who doesn't have an issue with gun ownership (after a waiting period. There is no reason you need a gun right-this-second).

It is the law in Arizona. It is currently being challenged in court.
