Sally was right about that. They don't need to analyze the Dobbs decision because it didn't create any laws. They need to analyze their state's abortion laws if they pass any.
It's an idiotic take to begin with - the idea that any federal or state department or agency, or any business in America, affected by a Supreme Court ruling shouldn't read the actual ruling. It's just a demented proposition that no one with the slightest idea of how American society and business operates would buy into.TheAnd keep in mind that the only reason Sally conjured up this manifestly stupid idea, that no one will ever follow, was to try and support that lying, discredited Oh? poster's FAKE news assertion that "The Pentagon stated that they will ignore the decrees of the Supreme Court." According to Sally, the mere common sense act of reading a SCOTUS opinion actually shows an intent to defy and ignore it. Are you sure you want to line up with that kind of mentality?
This is all that matters. The military or anyone else doesn't need to read anything. Just this from the decision ..
"We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives."
They have overruled all previous decisions and have returned the authority of having regulatine an abortion or prohibiting an abortion to the states. That is all Lloyd Austin and everyone else in the military and DOJ need to read.
Actually, Fat Hurts. I did watch a little of the hearings. But why would I watch more? If the hearings were fair and bi-partisan, then sure I would be watching. But the Dems did the same crap they do for everything. They only select the radicals from their party. Here they added 2 anti-Trumpers. Hillary's health insurance task force. Behind closed doors and all uber-liberals. Mueller was indeed selected by the republican Rod R. but evveryone Mueller selected was a far-left Dem. Impeachment more of the same - not one republican and all far-left Dems. Impeachment 2 - more of the same. Pelosi et al. don't want fair hearings. Of course not - they want to slam their agenda down everyone's throats. So, yes, Fat H - I watched a little but not too much. Just another witch hunt by the radical leftists who dominate the Dem party these days.
Nailed it. This is a nothing but a modern day witch hunt. The committee is biased, all Trump/NeverTrumpers with their minds already made up. This is a complete joke and the majority of America has tuned out. Only the left wing and the LR lib cultists care about it.
Both Cheney and Kinzinger are history after Nov 8th. This will be the LAST time the democrats will be chairing any congressional committees in the foreseeable future. Enjoy your last 4+ months in power, dems.

Gary, how much of the hearings have you actually watched?

Zip, zero, nada. I have no interest in partisan witch hunts.

If you haven't watched then you can't make such a judgement.
The hearings mostly just feature the testimony of Republicans from the Trump administration and Republicans from state governments. These are people who voted for Trump and have always been considered Trump allies.
But since you are afraid of what they might say, you hide yourself from the truth.
Are you celebrating the Roe v Wade decision? You haven't shown any pro life support over the recent decision.
Babies Lives Matter!
I agree with the decision, but it would be quite crass to celebrate.
And I agree with women who contend that as a man, I have less standing in the debate.
I would hope that since there will now be a lot more babies to take care of, Republicans would join Democrats in supporting them with health care and poverty relief. But I'm not holding my breath.

Uh-oh. Someone who is SOMEHOW smart enough to see Trump and Trumpism for what it is is apparently CLAIMING to be at least somewhat anti-abortion. My god, THAT can't be!! My brain is thoroughly scrambled.
So......standby to be called a (dreaded) "conservative" !! And maybe even "Cankle lover."
Come on, Hardloper - you're usually better than that. You're talking about a distinction without a difference.
The US military (and quite a few other organizations) will have to take a look at the direct and indirect implications of the Dobbs decision. This will involve analyzing various states' abortion laws (as you correctly point out).
They also need to examine the decision itself. This should be obvious.
If you are an attorney in the military, you don't just look at the news headlines. You examine the actual decision and interpret what it means along with all its implications on US law. Then you use that understanding to help the military adjust policies and procedures.
The implications on US law is summed up in one paragraph. The rest is arguments to support the conclusion. It's not like it's 63 pages of laws.

And I guess when admittedly "anti-mob" prosecutors have parades of mobsters testifying against other mobsters we should always acquit on all counts. Genius.
Just another depressing reminder of how far this country has fallen. The D committee with 2 solid Rs (including 1 particularly conservative R) lines up one formerly or CURRENTLY Trump-sympathetic witness after another to explain how Trump tried to steal an election and.....it means nothing to a large minority of the country. JUST partisan. Meaningless. Kangaroos and such. Up IS down......

Yeah, either:
1) Austin has NO clue what he's doing. Or,
2) He just feels sorry for all of those bored and neglected DoD lawyers and other staffers, and just wants to give them something to do and feel more important. Nice guy. But thoroughly irresponsible.
But hey, Trump tells me that a LOT of 4-stars are incompetent, so I certainly believe it.
