Stare decisis.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Today, from Josh Hawley (r), in yet anther attempt to set up his next rung on the ladder for 2024:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Before I vote for any future Supreme Court nominee I want to see record evidence that they acknowledge Roe v Wade was wrongly decided as a matter of law
[….]
3:49 PM · Jul 26, 2020

Some of the responses:

When you have a uterus, I will give your opinion careful consideration.

Stop trying to control women!! My body is none of your business!

That should not be how we pick judges. Any judge willing to so brazenly prejudice themself in front of the Senate doesnt deserve a seat on the bench even if I agree with their opinion.

so you want to make sure these hypothetical justices are committed to killing women

As if I needed another reason to actively work against you next election.

How about we move the country forward, not backward?

We will not “win” if we overturn Roe v Wade, and we won’t “lose” because we haven’t. Get over it, Senator, it’s time to stop treating us as a one-issue party. We don’t want litmus tests from the left, and we shouldn’t demand them on our side.

Someone is running for President.

Obvious by his disregard for his constituents and constant political stunts.

How much time and energy do you spend fighting for human life after they are born?

Not so much in Missouri.

God damn it, dude. We’re trying to run a nation here, not a bible school for backwards ass white men. Drop the misogyny.

First of all, NO. Secondly, how is this helpful right now. More authoritarianism from the patriarchy is not what we need to unite this country.

Politicians don’t belong in medicine. You take your religiosity and your judgment to church with you. Let us take care of medical decisions.

Whatever, Commander Waterford.

Can’t wait until Hawley is blocking all noms because the only people who fit his criteria are in jail for blowing up abortion clinics.

YASS! We need the Senate to just dictate to the SCOTUS how to rule on all controversial cases, because we all know how much more qualified politicians are to deliver fair justice.

And Republicans wonder why they’re losing suburban women in droves.

These culture wars are waged so elites like Hawley can pick our pockets for his big money donors. And yet people fall for this con again and again.

And as a supposed pro lifer, do you also want to see if they are cool with keeping brown kids in cages or allowing secret fed police to brutalize moms and vets, and if they hate health care?

Resign in shame, you terrible embarrassment to my state

You fill me with enthusiasm! For voting for your opponent! Can’t wait.

Please explain to us why you were afraid of witnesses during impeachment.

Too much truth about the president you worship?

This is just a tactic to get his base fired up. Distraction.

Fuck You, Josh Hawley.

What else do you do aside from being a shitbag of a human?

You will be replaced.

If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.

Whatever. You’ll be in the minority soon.

Spouting the same old tired shit

Fascist

In just a few months you will belong to the minority party, at which point you will cease to matter. In 2024 you will be voted out and we will never hear from you again. I look forward to all of this.

You know, ahistorical cancel culture.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Today, from the junior embarrassment from Missouri:

Sen. Hawley Introduces NDAA Amendment to Resist Left-Wing Assault on History
Wednesday, June 24, 2020

[….]

This latest effort to unilaterally rename bases and remove war memorials, all behind closed doors, smacks of the cancel culture the Left wants to impose on the nation. Any discussion about renaming bases should be had in the light of day, out in the open, and it should involve military families, veterans, and state and local stakeholders. That’s what my amendment would do.

[….]

Apparently he claims to have attended elite schools that had high academic standards.

Sure, Josh, let’s hear what you have to say about honoring traitors with statues on public land and naming military bases after them. You know, out in the open.

Today:

Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO
The @Missouri_NG has been preventing the spread of COVID-19 by conducting medical screenings at government facilities throughout the state, including the State Capitol. This afternoon, I took a moment to stop by the stations and thank our Citizen-Soldiers for their hard work.
[…]
1:14 PM · May 13, 2020

Meanwhile, the Governor of Missouri is doing his damnedest to undo their good work.

There was much hilarity in the responses:

You do support Trump 100%. He doesn’t wear a mask either. Thank you for being such a great role model for the Show Me State.

All guardsmen are helping protect you by wearing masks, but you can’t return the favor?

Where’s your mask…I mean leadership?

Still missing for both.

But not ALL, MO “State Government” buildings… right Boss Hog? So is this for show? Why aren’t all state buildings that have “Essential Staff” included? Just for the “important people”?

Where’s your mask?! So selfish

Wearing a mask = consideration and respect for others. Too bad you chose partisanship over respect.

First thing I thought when I saw the pics.
So, the partisanship is in place.
Not wearing a mask means you support 45 and are MAGA.
That’s it.
I’m wearing a mask.
#TrumpOwnsEveryDeath

why don’t you take a moment to put on a mask.

So you “thank” them by breathing on them? Terrible leadership and example during an epidemic. [….]

Masks are for the protection of others. Thank you @Missouri_NG for following guidelines.

Where is your mask? Please TRY to set an example.

@GovParsonMO is NOT 6 feet away from the service members in any of the pics he’s posted. He is NOT wearing a mask OR practicing social distancing.

No mask?

No mask.

WEAR A FREAKING MASK IF YOU WANT TO SHOW RESPECT. They did it for you.

Without a mask. You continue to be irresponsible and selfish.

Freedom has nothing to do with trying to save people around you from getting sick. It’s something you should do to be a good person because you don’t want others to get sick. It’s very simple. Bringing freedom into this isn’t comparable at all.

I think that, if you care about citizen soldiers and want show it, you would demonstrate care for their health by wearing a mask. I know that there is pressure not to do so, but to stop the spread of covid-19 we should wear masks, not a big sacrifice.

Put a mask on. You are selfish.

And, a pandering right wingnut tool.

So you’re a “do as I say not as I do” kind of governor. If we have to wear masks you have to as well. You are a lousy leader.

where’s your mask? who do you think you are, trump?

Wear. A. Mask.

WEAR A GODDAMN MASK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wear the mask.

Why aren’t you wearing a mask?

Why are you not wearing a mask? You are showing no respect for or consideration to the health of those around you.

Their masks protect YOU while YOUR mask protects THEM… wait… you weren’t wearing a mask… wtf is wrong with you?! Shameful!

Governor, the president and VP are both idiots for walking around with no mask-but they are also tested every day. Are you also tested every day, or are you just in the business of endangering others with your carelessness?

Gee, if only someone in the media could ask him those questions.

Why don’t you wear a mask for their sake & to show respect to them, since they clearly prefer them being worn?! I don’t understand the outlandish need to ignore science and medical expert recommendations even if it’s your personal preference.

Would it kill you to wear a mask? You are disgusting!

What about test? They offering testing? Huh huh huh… I didn’t think so … and again your ass isn’t wearing a mask! You are shameful. EVERYONE VOTE IN NOVEMBER LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!

WEAR A FUCKING MASK

You need to stop with your daily virtue signaling posts about re-engaging safely. Because here you are AGAIN not wearing a mask. Showing complete and total disregard and disrespect for the people around you.
