The courts are just plainly insane
I’d really have to see the wording of the actual law before I’d swallow this particular hook.
I’m not sure if this is an “I’m Spartacus!” moment or an opportunity for the Dr. Floyd Ferris quote from “Atlas Shrugged”.
Somehow I doubt a jury would convict anyone over changing diapers.
But a real loon can sic CPS on anyone for it and make their lives a real cluster.
So the poor kid is going to get nasty diaper rash because no one can apply Desitin? Insanity doesn’t cover it.
What utter legal nonsense and heresy.
The SCOAZ decision reaches no further than the parties involved and any other case with the same facts and questions of law.
WHY DO PEOPLE CONTINUALLY WANT TO GIVE THE COURTS LEGISLATIVE POWER??? The power of the courts is limited to INDIVIDUAL CASES AND CONTROVERSIES.
This decision does NOT create statewide law!!!
-—The Arizona law that triggered this decision deliberately keeps the tripwires vague. And the state Supreme Court had no problem with that, relying on what it believes will be the impeccable restraint of all prosecutors throughout the state:——
Ok...that made me chuckle...
Prosecutors restraint... LOL...
Tell that to the 100,000’s overcharged or innocently railroaded that have been jailed...
Another reason for men to dodge the baby trap.
This is so they arrest anybody they want at any time for any reason. Gets the arrest statistics numbers up, making it appear that the politicians are fighting crime.
A nice protest would be to drop off a pile of used diapers at the Court Office.
What about physicians who give physical exams to boys and girls under the age of 15?
This would involve prosecutorial discretion - so a defendant probably wouldn’t be charged unless there were some extraordinary circumstances like him or her being a Republican running for office. /s
My mother used to have a saying, when bathing children of that intermediate age after infancy and before bathing on their own. She would tell them, “I’ll wash up as far as possible, then I’ll wash down as far as possible, then you wash possible.”
