On Tuesday’s broadcast of CBS’s “Late Show,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) stated that “on really key issues,” 2024 Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is “Donald Trump, in some cases, only more so.”
After talking about legislation the two worked on together and saying that she’ll work with anybody “who wants to reign in the giant banks.” Warren said that Vance is “now Donald Trump doubled” and that “means now, that, on really key issues, he’s Donald Trump, in some cases, only more so. So, for example, he said, yes, he wants a nationwide abortion ban, but he’s opposed to any exceptions for rape or incest, yeah. He says it’s time to cut Social Security and Medicare. He joins Donald Trump in wanting to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, which means anybody out there with a pre-existing condition, that’s going to be a real problem if the ACA goes away, as well as many, many people losing their health insurance. And he is all in for the tax cuts that would go to the billionaires. The estimate is, in their tax plan, it would be about a three-and-a-half million-dollar annual cut for every billionaire paid for by higher taxes on working families. So, that’s kind of J.D. Vance as known through his issues.”

The SCOTUS made it clear that enforcement of medical procedures is not a Federal power under the Constitution. It IS however, a Constitutional power to enforce due process in taking a life. IMHO, this is where we need to go, if ony because medical technology is making such choices very difficult with regard to not only the unborn, but the extremes of age, disease, and victims of accidents or violence.
My wife is an Advanced Practice nurse in a Level III newborn intensive care unit in a County hospital. The measures she sees taken to keep what is little more than a catastrophically damaged body going are sometimes little more than cruelty. The public cost of such cases is so outrageous that in the aggregate it deprives local government the fiscal ability to help those in obvious need of it. To make such decisions amid such continuing tragedies of no good answers is horrible. Everybody involved suffers with them regardless of the outcome. It's where we are.
Due process offers the opportunity to consider all possibilities in a time-sensitive atmosphere, with the ethical, moral, and physical considerations at hand. I look forward to courts in hospitals staffed with people trained in such considerations to facilitate the just and humane conclusion of life and death decisions.
Devising means States could apply to address those issues is one of the blessings of Federalism. Hence, as much as I respect JD Vance, I think his answers could use some reconsideration, which is going to be an ongoing process for the foreseeable future, especially as technology opens the gates to "transhumanism." That is scary stuff.
Many times and many ways and may be still active?.
I encourage this view as it might tend to curb some of the left’s violent tendencies to eliminate Trump.
There’s no telling what that woman has her hands in.
It’s not golf and grandchildren. (cough)
But in some ways, worse.
Agree many dangerous members and plans in her agenda.
Party members are on call 24/7/365
in a “hell hath no fury” kind of way.
Fauxahontas talks too much
don’t tell me, Vance is an “existential threat to democracy”.
