Yes - 100% “legit” last title.
What a breath of fresh air!

In all seriousness this case does highlight some of the biggest concerns with the system.
A single provider can be the sole arbiter. Imagine if ideology was ever a factor in the provider’s readiness to provide the service. Much easier with a fast track without oversight.
It can very easily flip into a utilitarian mindset: The system is incentivized to get rid of costly and resource-heavy patients. It’s much cheaper to off someone under thinly veiled moral disguise of patient-assisted euthanasia.
The moral slippery slope is very real.

This is true. Cohen was also being challenged by Justin Pearson in the Democrat primary this year.
He’s the young man who pitched the big fit in the TN state legislature yesterday - in part because his potential political future (and subsequent rise to national prominence) just got kneecapped.

This guy is perhaps the one most affected by this new map. I think he was running against Steve Cohen in the upcoming Democrat primary.
His reaction is in part because his entire political future just got knee-capped

Not a thread high jack, sorry. Just a noteworthy moment. Lots of Muslim individuals in GTown and Collierville. Big islamic cultural center in Cordova. Not just Texas.

Saw someone in a full burqa in Memphis yesterday for the first time.

The odds of an Amendment in our current divisive state is about 1%.
But seriously - there would be several states that would immediately ratify it… but not enough.
If only we could hold hostage the non-seated representatives to force states to ratify it like Seward did for the 14th Amendment to regain their representation.

It’s amazing how far they’ve fallen. This is the nation that gave us George Orwell and Aldous Huxley.

Complain about the fans all you want but they have a good reason to follow the team and be excited about this.
Show me where I was complaining, my man. Good game. Wish Vandy had half the crowd Nebraska has for…. anything.
