On the 13th of September, GOP Senator Lindsey Graham introduced a bill to ban abortion nationwide after 15 weeks. He then showed up at the so-called "Susan B Anthony" ball-a militantly antichoice event that this year is celebrating the Supreme Court legalizaing forced-birth laws w the Dobbs decision. Furious protesters outside made attendees (Graham included) run a gauntlet of screaming activists to get in.

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 09/13/2022 - 13:33

How similar is Gov. Ron DeSantis’ cover-up of the felony forgeries of Chief of Special Prosecutions (Fl 20th Judicial Circuit), Anthony Kunasek, Esq. and State's Attorney Amira Fox to Watergate?  Especially in light of the Governor's suspension of State Attorney Andrew Warren for simply exercising prosecutorial discretion. Affidavit filed in Warren v. DeSantis,  USDC N.D.
